Beautiful afternoon in Nottingham with the couple I’m staying with for the first leg of the show. A magnificent city full of rich history, pulping art and style as well as the legend that was Brian Clough.

Grabbed myself a copy of the book for both research and good omen 🐁

The location at Allerton Castle was beautiful and really helped build the vibe of the music video. The band were really friendly and cool. There was no egos and they had many conversations with the cast and laughs.

Keep pushing forward. 9.5 months of training with Ben Baxter PT to both motivate and push me forward into better shape.

Now we enter the muscle building/ sculpting stage. I thought I would never feel this good both mentally and physically. Never give up on yourself. 💪

Thank you everyone for the Birthday messages. Was a positive boost during the first leg of the Adult Panto tour. The cast got me both a lovely card and Lemon meringue birthday pie.

Feeling both blessed in health and mindset at 32.

Enjoy the little moments, gestures and be humble. Big love ❤️
