Joe did a brilliant meet and greet after performing at Lea Manor and was inundated with presents for his birthday the next day But before he could start partying, he had an appearance early next morning on the Blue Peter Olympic Torch Special (with thanks to Paula)

I'd always wanted to do a summer Proms in the Park with champers, comfy chairs, strawberries and picernic basket full of goodies, lazing in the warm summer sunshine listening to beautiful music wafting on a gentle summer breeze. .......

but then it was Proms in the Park at Bishop Aukland.
Gale force freezing winds and muddy field with bog.
But Joe sang beautifully as usual!!

I love Hugo.

Ha ha I remember it well, as we carefully placed our fold out chairs around the muddy bog and formed a steady queue at the tea tent in an attempt to keep warm - welcome to July in the North East

I also remember that as we were leaving we got a gorgeous smile from Joe as his car stopped to let us cross the road and then they ended up driving behind us back towards the motorway. I'll never forget the look of confusion on JT's face as ShelleMK turned into B&Q car park

*runs for cover*

Me too, so cute. And then there was Boss and Chanel. And now Hugo's got baby bunnies of his own

Joe attended Dine With Pride on the 5th July, gorgeous pics

Then there was the concert at Liverpool Waterfront for Smooth Radio and Joe sounding fantastic.

Aw that was a lovely day, it was really hot down on the Waterfront (once we found it LOL), we had great company and Joe was just brilliant

Smooth Radio posted some great videos too

Smooth Carlos interviews Joe http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0x8vc82gpk

It was great to see the crowd appreciating him so much and he looked like he was having a great time. He's so comfortable on stage isn't he. It was weird listening to and watching the whole concert live online because the mic was only picking up the singers and not the audience reaction so really glad the vids came out so well.

Warning ..... stubble alert

That must have been strange because the crowd were really loud for Joe and he was loving it

To quote the legendary Aquarius ... ... ...

Thud. Melt. Puddle

Blimey, you can say that again.

It was soooo busy, took us ages to get past the crowd. Didn't realise there were so many people there
