Thank you everybody for such great and sensible advice. I will try lower heels and certainly nothing flashy - just to blend in as any girl out shopping. I will take small steps, relax and be brave. Even if I am 'read' it doesn't matter does it & I need to be confident in that. I will try to take some photos and post my experience e here next week. I can't wait. I'm excited and its dominating my waking (& dreaming) thoughts!
