London, UK

Good morning everyone! All well? I do hope so.Well, I find myself waking up in a very strange place today - it's not a hotel room.....IT'S MY OWN BEDROOM! What a unique experience this is! It's full steam ahead in the weeks leading up to the end of this awesomely busy anniversary season. It's truly extraordinary seeing the audiences flooding into the concert venues to hear the group and to celebrate with us, at this wonderful milestone in our history. Last night we sang in the stunning Tewkesbury Abbey. We are so lucky in England to have such amazing places of worship - there are so many around the country and we've been lucky enough to perform in lots of them!It's such an odd feeling to think that it's July now and I only have 6 months left as a King's Singer. This season doesn't really give much time for reflection, as we're so busy - always planning, working on our craft and honing our skills on and offstage. However, when I do find myself thinking about next year and beyond, I do get incredibly sad at the thought of not singing with my 5 colleagues again - travelling around the world doing what I love doing, singing to amazing audiences. Yet, the flip side of the situation makes me immeasurably happy and excited - to spend more time with Gemma and Harry. Gemma's been so supportive of me being a King's Singer, and I couldn't ask for a better wife and mum to Harry. The thought of seeing Harry's big smile each day fills me with a huge amount of joy and I can't wait to be home more to fully embody being a husband and father.Right, I really better go and cook up some more food to freeze for Harry. He does have a very large appetite. I simply can't think where het gets that from :)Take care all and see you soon, I hope.Toodle-oo for now....
