As anyone who follows me anywhere else other than on my blog will know Davina who owned the marina in Bristol passed away in her sleep in her French home last week at the age of 85. She wasn't ill but had recently had a covid vaccine and not felt well since. Make of that what you will but because of her age it was put down as natural causes and that might well be the case. Who knows.
I'd know Davina since 2006 I think when Davina who at the time was just a part time TV who only really dressed for kink reasons as a sort of adult schoolgirl. Although she didn't look like any schoolgirl I'd ever seen!
She used to run parties at her place for other TV's and that's how we met. I attended a few of these and we became friends. Davina later became a full time TV and over the years that followed we did a lot of things together. Although her dress sense was terrible but she didn't care. I visited her in France 4 times where she lived for 6 months of the year. When I started as a pro sub in 2010 she kindly let me use her flat to see some of my clients. Which I did for a couple of years and then again when stuck for venues I used it for another 7 years up until a few months ago when we fell out.
I will always remember Davina for the fact she let me use the flat for so long. It was a great act of kindness from her and I'll also remember some of the parties and boat trips she put on for the trans community. Sadly she was very divisive in the trans world and spent much of her later life upsetting people not only in real life but on the Tli forum as well. Being honest if it wasn't for the use of the flat we probably wouldn't have been that close or we would have fallen out years ago. I was treading on eggshells for years. After our fall out a few months ago I had already made my mind up I didn't want anything to do with her anymore and sadly whenever I think about her it's with very mixed emotions now but we did have some good times together as friends so I'll try to think more of those hard as it is to do so at times.
I believe she has been cremated in France and her ashes will be returned to the UK later this month and there might be something put on for her at the marina when they are which I won't be invited to for sure. Not that I would go anyway. I am arranging a meal for all her closest Trans friends though.
RIP Davina Louise Lund. Gone but never forgotten.
BTW the no going back title of this blog refers to Davina's flat which I used on and off for nearly 15years and have many good memories there. Sadly most were when Davina was in France!
Last month I viewed another 4 houses but yet to find one that I'm sure I want to live in. A lot of this is because of the location. Most of my clients come from near the Bristol area and I can't afford anything good in Bristol. So have been looking further down the M5 at places like Bridgwater but that might just be too far away for many people to travel to see me? Do I put my private life or business life first?
So no new house to live and see clients from but I've still been busy doing outcalls and seeing Dee/David in October. Last night was Halloween and a few lucky clients got to see me in my Halloween costume. I did a domme session and a CP session and no I didn't look scary. Whenever I try scary it always ends up sexy for some reason.
October started off with almost a week away with Trenchard in another old mill. We got a lot of bondage videos made and even a sploshing one. How we did that without getting custard all over the room I'll never know. There was a few spots on the walls which wouldn't wash off thought but we hid them well. BTW if you ever run out of yellow paint just use custard instead!
It was a great few days at a fab venue with great company who just happens to be a great rigger too.
We did almost do another bondage meet at his home last month too but he wasn't comfortable about me coming and going as a woman. So we had to knock the idea on the head sadly. We are meeting again later this month which I'm looking forward too greatly.
Finally as mentioned above again I've been busy with David or Dee depending on what we're doing. We had two days out last month. One was only a few days ago where we had a trip out to South Wales and which Dee planed to see a few churches and castles. Sadly the first place "St Illtyd Church" had building work going on and we couldn't get to it because the road was shut so we went onto the following church which is more well know for the ruin next to it. This was "Ilantrithyd" After this the next church was "Ewenny Priory" which had groundsmen working outside and I'm sure they didn't know what to make of us. Dee said this church was a 12 out of 10 and one of her favourites but for me I'll fondly remember it for Dee telling me off for sitting on the alter. And again for Dee having a wee in the bushes as they're never any loo's in old churches. After this we stopped of for a drink and a massive piece of cake! Our final stop off was "Ogmore Castle" by a river with stones that you can walk across to get to the other side and no neither of us tried this. As the river was high running over the stones and we were both wearing trainers. Also there was a lot people about and seeing one of us fall in the river would have been comedy gold.
Our other trip out was a shopping trip to Cardiff by train. We went first class which is not something I'd done before as I normally don't do trains or buses for that matter but if I do I always travel scum class. It was good in first class though as we got a small drink and a biscuit! What more could you want!
We didn't shop for that long and I'm not sure Dee is that at home in women's clothes shops and there's no bushes to pee in. So we spent more time eating and in the Lego shop. I did get some new makeup though but no new clothes. I guess I'll just have to go clothes shopping again as I've nothing to wear at the moment.
Ok time to get up and go out on my bike as I'm not even dressed yet!
