		<description><![CDATA[Here we are at the beginning of the year. Feeling good and ready to go.
Christmas was great. I spent much of December suffering from the same bugs as everybody else, but somehow managed to fulfil all except one of my engagements. Christmas itself was hectic but fun and Melissa was just wonderful to watch. She [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This last couple of weeks has flown by. I got very excited by the prospect of conducting Bledlow Church Choir in choral evensong. I find working with them so rewarding. It&#8217;s lovely to be working with a group of people who just do it for the fun of it and don&#8217;t have to worry about [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Had a fun day yesterday at an Opera on the Run training day. It was great to have all the various singers there and to have a laugh together. One of the acts we often do is singing waiters. we go in and pretend to be waiters, usually from a foreign country and mostly incompetent. Then we [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been a lovely weekend. Yesterday I had the very great pleasure of singing the Mozart Requiem with the St. Michael&#8217;s Singers and the ESO. Both fabulous. Among the other soloists I was delighted to have Kate Manley alongside me on the platform. Those of you who know Kate will know of her very brave [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hi All,
Well it&#8217;s been all action since I last posted although I haven&#8217;t set foot on stage in an opera (unless you count Trial by Jury) since July. I started working with Noelle Barker in April and she asked me to try to keep off the boards for six months or so in order to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hi Everyone,
Well here we are in the middle of June and I alresdy feel like I&#8217;ve done 2 summer seasons.
Easter was mostly taken up with my choir. We had a performance of Stainer&#8217;s Crcifixion in which I both conducted and sang the Tenor solos. Simon Thorpe sang the Baritone solos splendidly and the choir were [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well I&#8217;m already coming to the end of my time in Coburg. It&#8217;s been fun and, as usual, I have met some really nice people. For once the production didn&#8217;t follow the famous list of &#8220;How to Opera Germanly&#8221; and was fairly standard, although we all felt that much more time could have been given [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, here I am, back in Germany after a two year break. After I finished my my last stint here I swore I would never go back, especially since the birth of our daughter, Melissa. So what has changed? (Apart from the obvious appeal of being allowed to sleep beyond 5.30 on a regular basis)
