Geri Halliwell says the Spice Girls world tour will be like "The Waltons".
Ginger Spice claims the group - Victoria Beckham, Mel B, Emma Bunton, Geri and Mel C - have all bonded again and rehearsals have been a family affair, with their husbands and babies running around everywhere.
Geri wrote on her blog, "I am sitting in the rehearsal studio on a lunch break. Beau, Emma's son, is sitting opposite me on Emma's lap, giving me a smile. Victoria's son Cruz has been looking for a pump to blow up his rocket and now he's trying on Melanie C's hoodie. Melanie C is definitely embracing her Sporty roots today in a fetching pair of tracksuit bottoms. Looking gorgeous! Actually, that's Bluebell's new favourite word."
"Bluebell is on her way down here in a bit. She keeps on picking up a microphone, so it's like 'The Waltons' on tour with babies and husbands all around. Jade (Emma's partner) is the perfect daddy. I can tell he loves being a father."
The 35-year-old singer insists there are no arguments among the band and they are all finding it easy to be singing together again.
She said, "We're working hard and it's like we've never been apart. I really like it when we're singing in harmony with the band. It's funny that 10 years on each of us still remembers our harmony lines. It's like riding a bike - you just don't forget. It's like it's ingrained in us."
"It's been the most wonderful experience being back in Spice World. I love being part of a group and I feel this experience has done exactly what I had hoped. It has reunited us and made our friendship stronger. We have a bond that we will share for the rest of our lives."
"Let me tell you, the Spice Girls are now Spice Women - full, sensual and stronger through their life experiences. It's fantastic to be around the humour, and although the pressure is on, being part of a group is a wonderful thing. I receive a lot of support and encouragement from the other girls."
Geri also revealed the girls are each contributing their own ideas for their tour, which kicks-off on December 2 in Vancouver, Canada. She wrote, "We are definitely a democracy. Every morning we check in with each other and we discuss the decisions that have to be made. We have a great band. Melanie C picked them and she cracks the whip when it comes to vocal warm-ups."
