Hi everyone

I just had to write today to say thank you for all the lovely messages you’ve sent to wish me Happy Birthday. Thank you, you guys are awesome! I had a lovely day back at home with my mum and my family. It was so nice to chill out and catch up with everyone – especially because it’s all been so mad for the past month. And it doesn’t look like stopping anytime soon! There’s so much I’m looking forward to: the new single, the new album… I just hope you love them as much as I do. It’s been such a liberating experience to work with some great producers and experiment with all those cool ’60s sounds. We’re going to be doing something really special for the album launch, it’s all a bit hush-hush at the moment but it’s going to be fab.

Hi there, Emma here: just wanted to wish you all a very Happy Christmas and a brilliant New Year. Hope you have a wonderful time over the holidays and get everything you hoped for! I’ve really been getting into the Christmas spirit this year – I even did most of my present shopping in advance. And Christmas In Popworld and singing ‘White Christmas’ at the Nordoff Christmas Carol Concert just got me feeling totally festive. This year, I’m going to be spending time at home with my family which I’m really looking forward to. It’s going to be very chilled, but that’s perfect because I’m going to need tons of energy for next year as it’s going to be a biggie! I can’t wait for you to hear ‘I’ll Be There’ and the rest of the album. I’m so happy with it, I reckon you’ll think it’s been worth the wait – you’ll be able to get to hear everything in the New Year. Fingers crossed you love it. I also wanted to say thanks for all your support this year, it’s been phenomenal. You’ve made ’03 such a memorable time for me and I’ll never forget it. So here’s to ’04, see you very soon.

Lots of love.

Hermione Eyre of Living Abroad Magazine caught up with former Spice Girl Emma Bunton who admits it’s hard shedding her Baby Spice image. “It was my trademark for a long time and she’ll always be part of me, ‘cos it was me,” she said. “But now I’m a 27-year-old woman, I’m a lot more confident about things. I was walking in the street and a mum said, ‘Look, there’s Baby Spice,’ and her little girl said, ‘No, it’s not. It’s Emma Bunton.’ But if people still want to call me Baby that’s fine.”
