Hello!

So... here I am, writing my first blog post. I'm not sure where to start. The weekend has been another lovely one. It is Father's Day today and, quite fittingly, I have spent much of the time pursuing interests that I share with my dad. Yesterday, we bought our first record player. I have been pretty much glued to it ever since. There is something so therapeutic about listening to music in this way. The ritual and care that comes with putting a record on means that you listen so much more carefully and with such relish. So often now, music becomes just another noise against the background buzz and hum of life. Now I understand the time and effort dad spent cleaning, ordering and playing his collection when I was younger.

I managed to while away a good hour in the record shop, before coming away clutching a handful of favourites. This, plus a spot of shopping for pens and paper, browsing the vintage shops for bargains and supping cava with friends on the beach in the sun have all made this weekend a good one to be in the city.

Happy Father's Day!
