A third rate opera singer is an insult to how well rugby crowds sing their anthems! Get him off!

We're currently in Kenya, visiting the projects supported by our charity, Education Exchange. Today we've been at Grace Mwatate Children's Home- we helped build it in 2018. Friday we were at our IT training centre. Amazing skills shown by all our Kenyan leaders! Such a privilege to be involved!

If O Holy Night is a favourite piece of Christmas music for you, then watch the 2024 Carol Service from King's College on iPlayer. 54.50 minutes in. The soloist has no ego, and simply rejoices in the beauty of what he's singing. Unforgettable!

Today we're collecting six new rescue hens. We expect them to be really stressed and missing quite a lot of feathers, which will take months to grow back. It's fab to see them slowly relax into freedom and kindness. Pics to follow in a few days.
