BACK HOME

Posted 12th July 2007

Hello again, here’s the second update of my exclusive blog for the IC Wales Network. I’m in the middle of getting ready for the album release, and today am back in Wales which is really nice – London is great but it’s good to be back home again, even if it’s just a flying visit for now. I had a chance to look online today and I wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who has been supporting me – it completely takes my breath away. Thank you so much everyone!

One of the things that has been great about all this so far is that my wife Julie-Ann has been able to be with me through all the excitement – she’s popping back to Wales every now and then, but most of the time she’s with me in London and on the road, which I’m really grateful for. Sometimes I have to ask her to pinch me to make sure I’m not dreaming the whole thing. It’s just like a dream come true – a dream I would never even have dared to have.

I’m still getting my head around winning the competition, and even recording the album at all has been an unbelievable thrill. The whole experience so far has completely changed my life, and I’m just taking each day as it comes The suggestions of travel to America and New Zealand are unbelievable and yet very exciting these are some places I would never even have expected to be able to visit!
