And hello back at you.

W/we've been living in the UK for over two years now and have yet to meet another B/F couple. W/we've seen some, but not actually met any.

Sad huh?

That's terribly sad!

Hi from Seattle!

Hey Cara

My partner lived in Seattle for some 16 years or so and Hy's always saying how similar the climate there is to the one we have here in the UK. Something about Seattle and the UK being on the same latitude (47 degrees, or thereabouts)?

So...is it raining? (It's been pouring down all day here.) I've been lucky. The two times I visited the weather was great but I've heard it can get pretty - and yes, that is, apparently, an understatement - wet.

It's a beautiful autumn day in Seattle. No grey or rain! (yet). I lived in Edinburgh, Scotland for a year and can attest that the weather in the UK is similar. Edinburgh, however, was much windier, which made the winter months very cold.

That is just wrong. I was in London for a weekend this summer and met... well, actually now that I say that I realize I met lots of butches and femmes but none of them were couples.

Guess you gotta get out more, or at least say hello when you see them.

Words · 11-05-2009, 12:32 PM

London's a bit different. O/our nearest gay bar, or what used to be our nearest gay bar (it's now closed), was some 20 miles away, and when W/we did go there, it was fully of very young androgenous types with a few little baby butches thrown in for good measure so W/we kind of gave up on it even before it closed down.

You're right though, W/we do need to get out more, even if it means going over to Brighton or up to London. W/we're just a little limited because of my daughter, but hey, perhaps W/we'll give it a try next time she's at respite care. It's certainly something worth thinking about.

Safe and Fabulous Festivities!!!!

imperfect_cupcake · 01-01-2012, 02:56 PM

butch/femme/genderqueer/ID friendly meet:

LONDON

January 28th @ 5pm till whenever (probably around 8/9)
Curzon Soho
Downstairs, couches and bar.

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&...00242416141031

They do sandwiches and cakes, coffee and tea upstairs and you can take the food down.
Nice atmosphere, no loud music - you can talk and sit in big comfy couches.
beer prices reasonable

so far there are about 15 people coming but suspect that will pick up by the time the event comes around. They are *really* friendly (as one of them is ME) and talkative and laid back. It's always a good time, it's the 3rd meet of this early evening soiree, giving people enough time to go out to their sat night disco afterwards.

Hope to see you there - IM if you have any questions or need a hand-hold

LeftWriteFemme · 04-05-2012, 10:36 PM

If I could find a working one of these, I would be over to visit immediately!

Melissa · 04-06-2012, 12:23 PM

We will be in UK for the month of June. Can't wait. I haven't been home in over 10 years.

When I lived in Glasgow, there was a Tardis Police Box that had been turned into a Coffee Bar in the city centre.
