Its time to leave this place....I have lost my connections and sadly posting no photographs leaves one bereft of contact. I guess that is the curse of Flickr...friendships are perhaps not as deep as one might have thought.

 

Thank you to the one sweet soul who took the time to ask after me. You are a treasure :)

 

Farewell friends of Flickr

I'm sure I won't be missed

I don't think there is anyone I have ever met who is sweeter than Sophie.

I don't think there is anyone I have ever met who is sweeter than Sophie. Although I have only known her for a relatively short time, she is like the virtual big sister I never had- always there for you, very supportive and genuine. Her pictures always exude her personality; gentle, slightly whimsical and also possibly a little bit vulnerable but pursing her own path and growing in confidence all the time. It is an honour and a pleasure to call Sophie a friend and it would be just lovely to meet one day. Jen xxx

Absolutely one of the nicest people that you will ever meet. Everything that she writes is so sincere and always comes from the heart. I think that one could tell your deepest secrets to her and she'd listen, hold your hand and make you feel 100% accepted. I am truly honored to call her FRIEND. One very beautiful perso… Read more

Dear Sisters, While many of us may reflect on our evolution to our preferred state and I would say, like an "onion" peeling off the layers that have grown, my dear Sophie is like a "peach" so soft on the outside, sweet within and no layers between.

Dear Sisters, While many of us may reflect on our evolution to our preferred state and I would say, like an "onion" peeling off the layers that have grown, my dear Sophie is like a "peach" so soft on the outside, sweet within and no layers between. While I've looked upon my changes like a blacksmith hammering the iron into a shape, Sophie has a naturalness blessed upon her through "the higher up". I've been privileged to know Sophie but a short time, yet have known her all my life...how so?! Her source of womanly grace and nurturing love comes from the center we all seek. Having her as a friend gives us another bond within our sisterhood and another aid in the maturation of the woman we want to be. Sophie, you have an innocent kindness that touches us all and even in the short time of our knowing each other I watch as someone viewing the blooming of a lovely flower in a well cared for garden. You "are" in the sun hon and expect your bloom to continue to enrich all those who you come in contact with. Love, Hugs and Kisses Sweetie! Di' happy older sister!

Sophie is a rare bird. She is one of the lovely, engaging few and, certainly, a quite different kind of transwoman.

Sophie is a rare bird. She is one of the lovely, engaging few and, certainly, a quite different kind of transwoman. She illuminates my little world with a wondrous and, at times, wistful hue which is her own journey of self discovery. And even I, who have become a little more cynical and ho-hum by much of the tranny world, am uplifted and re-energised by following her photo journey and commentary. I think she makes us all feel a little bit better about ourselves. In another place and time, she would remind me of the Greer Garson character in the old film ‘Mrs Miniver’ – intelligent, courteous, caring, gentle and benign – but with an inner strength. You just know she is always in control of her own world and she is always a lady.

Dearest Sophie, Your genuine warmth and that smile which could launch ships would be more than enough for all but you have seen fit to gift me with even more. There could not be a more gentle or sweet soul I say without doubt. You have a way of expressing yourself in written form of which I am am envious and incapable of. One which bares the soul to the core and causes reflection in all who read. Sophie, you have brought me happiness that few others have ever been able to deliver or for that matter would care to. I am humbled by your attention and want you to know that my ear shall be yours at your pleasure. xoxo, M

I am so proud and grateful to know Sophie. She is a darling sister who is far more precious than her photos coud ever represent. Not only is she beautiful outside but exceedingly so in character. She is one of the few sisters to whom I know will reply to me with promptness to any inquiry or even a "hello" exchange. Beyond that she answers with amusing cleverness, wisdom and kindness rarely seen and greatly needed in this cruel world. XOXO.

Lady Sophie is truly an inspiration, as can be seen clearly from her pictures. Starting with the obvious, she is without doubt a lovely lady, who really cares about the people she comes into contact with. Anyone who has the privilege to consider themself her friend, and be considered her friend, is truly enriched by the honour. I feel personally honoured that Sophie chose to call me her friend on Flickr, and perhaps if that makes me an honorary 'sister' then the privilege is all mine. May all your dreams be happy ones, Sophie, and all your wishes come true.
