Matilda, this is our song. We sing it together lots and especially when we are on holiday. It is perfect when we are travelling in our motorhome. I love those times, we are all so together and every time we go away it feels like a little adventure.
I have heard Gabrielle Aplin live twice at festivals now. This was in the days before you came to the festivals with me – you show me how to do it properly now! I think she was eighteen or nineteen when I first saw her and there were about 30 people in the tent. She was so pleased to have an audience at all and actually took a photo of us all to send home to her mum. The next time I saw her, just a year later, she had hit the big time and the huge festival tent was full. There were literally thousands of people in there. You see, you have to work hard for success and be prepared to start small – but when it comes it can come quickly. You never know what might be around the corner for you.
When I first heard this song I knew you would like it and you did. I love the words and you sing it beautifully. It makes me feel happy when I hear it. I hope you feel at home wherever life takes you.
