Enjoying the morning sunshine in #Granada #Spain listening to the gorgeous new #tomsmith from #Editors #newmusic

Waiting in the bar to see #ButlerBlakeGrant in #Granada #Spain Saw #BernardButler in #Madrid a few months ago. Really looking forward to this!

I don’t live in #Scotland but I love listening to #BBCRadioScotland. I’ve discovered so many bands including new and old artists such as Cloth, King Creosote and Brogeal. People will only listen/give you their attention if you offer something different #BBC

Unnecessary changes at BBC Radio Scotland. We don’t need yet another hits station. How are bands and the future of music supposed to swim in the ocean of noise that is the streaming platforms? Hpw do they stand out? What about the future of culture?

The new Apartments album is just so good. A quietly magnificent masterpiece. Perfect for autumn. This was the first single. One of my favourites on the album youtube.com/watch?v=xlDy...

What a magnificent song by #gracejones Been on repeat all day. Oddly soothing youtu.be/WGfqqSVwYHU?...

On the bus en route to #Madrid watching this beautiful song Surfers In Twilight by #thedelines Lucky to have seen them twice before. Going to see them in Madrid tonight. Going to be wonderful! youtube.com/watch?v=vU0J...

Love this from #maxcooper youtube.com/watch?v=we2r... #electronic #ambient

Morning #coffee in #Malta. Friendly service. Cute coffee shop. Sunny morning. Life is good. What are you up to this morning?

Beautiful morning here in #Malta

Wonderful new #album from #baxterdury Here’s the fantastic single ‘Allbarone’ #newmusic youtu.be/Q0JAy4Fa9HA?...

‘Hats’ by #thebluenile Still one of the most beautiful albums ever. Perfect #Sunday morning listening with #coffee #PaulBuchanan #music

Having a quiet lunch in a local bar listening to #cocteautwins I’d never played this album in full before. No idea why. It’s beautiful #music youtube.com/playlist?lis...

This is Pumpkin. We found her abandoned in a field over a year ago. She’s very chatty. Isn’t she lovely? #catsky #cats

En route to see #Pixies tonight in #Granada #Spain Very excited!

In times of stress, in times of calm, ‘Always Returning’ by Brian Eno youtube.com/watch?v=GiR3...

Nothing remarkable happened, and that’s what made it so special. #Coffee, kindness and connection in #Granada #Spain. Read my latest newsletter on #Substack #travel #expat 3 Coffees, 5 Aussies and A Minor Crisis in Granada open.substack.com/pub/awayfrom...

I popped out for a #coffee this morning and while walking around, I walked past these. Still never ceases to amaze me that I live in ##Granada #Andalucia #Spain

This

Love this track by #cloth Perfect late light/early morning listening. The new album is fantastic too. More wonderful #music from @rockactionrecords.scot #mogwai youtube.com/watch?v=jwZM...

Looks like #bullfighting season is coming again soon in #Granada #Spain I love this country and #culture but I still can’t get my head around this thing that some call ‘art’ What do you think?

Breakfast in #Copenhagen #coffee and cinnamon bun at the wonderful #CoffeeCollective #Denmark

In the basement at The Living Room. My New favourite place in #Copenhagen #coffee #Denmark

Beautiful morning walking around #Helsinki Blue skies and chilly. This song by #NewOrder is the perfect soundtrack #music #musicsky #Finland youtube.com/watch?v=YDk-...

In #Malaga airport sitting with a #coffee watching people go by while listening to the wonderful #soundtrack to ‘Drive My Car’ by Eiko Ishibashi on my headphones. First time hearing it. Beautiful. And the perfect music for airport people watching #Spain youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Not what you normally see in a bar while having a morning #coffee #Granada #Spain

I’m in #Leeds for a few days and have found spectacular #coffee and proper #Italian cornetti con crema #inmyhappyplace As if I needed another reason to live this town

Wardrobe security has been breached. Proceed with treats to negotiate surrender! This is one of our cats hiding in the wardrobe drawers after we eventually found her… #cats #catsky

I'm not on twitter anymore, but this tweet from 2 years ago is sadly more accurate than ever

Stopped for #coffee at this local bar/institution. Never seen it so empty. My first time inside. Found a nice spot at Cafetería Agustín near Plaza Trinidad in #Granada

It’s been chucking it down in #Granada for days now. This song came to mind. Still beautiful and feels sunny somehow #musicsky youtube.com/watch?v=wBEe...

The sparrow mafia in #Granada seem to be running one of my favourite bars. Read my latest post on #Substack #coffee #Andakucia #Spain #travel #expat open.substack.com/pub/awayfrom...

Still the best #neworder song for me. Magnificent! #musicsky open.spotify.com/track/0F0imG...

On a coach to #Malaga, one of the sunniest and warmest places in #Europe Sadly, not today. Absolutely chucking it down! Listening to #MercuryRev ‘Born Horses’ making it feel much warmer, spiritually if nothing else #musicsky open.spotify.com/album/3GyOvR...

Not my usual thing but love this by #stonetemplepilots ‘Interstate Love Song’ youtube.com/watch?v=yjJL... #musicsky #music

Happy to be living in ‘nowhere’s perfect but in these increasingly insane days #progressive’ #Spain

After so many visits over so many years, there is still nowhere like #Venice Read my latest post on #Substack #Italy #travel open.substack.com/pub/awayfrom...

Visiting friends in #Almeria this weekend. Not far from #Granada Having a lovely moment in beach bar writing and looking at the sea with a cute little dog who must belong to someone else here listening to the still wonderful ‘Haunting Thoughts’ by #thedelines Now will the dog fit in my bag?! #Spain

‘More beautiful for having been broken’ or How can you make the world a better place with broken crockery? My latest post on #substack #kintsugi #japan #positivepsychology #selfhelp open.substack.com/pub/awayfrom...

Had no idea that #Mogwai ‘Come On Die Young’ was such a beautiful. chilled album. Was expecting it be much more aggressive. Going to have to listen to their other albums #music #musicsky youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Wandering around #Granada last night, I saw this. Just another alleyway perhaps. But another of my favourite things in this city #Spain

This is such a wonderful album and ‘Walk, Don’t Run’, a particularly laidback yet funky tune. I need to explore more #Tindersticks albums. Any suggestions? #music #musicsky open.spotify.com/track/4IErKr...

Another wonderful and insightful post from @brendanboyle.bsky.social about community, sharing and how it’s totally woven into the fabric of society in #Spain Highly recommended!

We found Pumpkin abandoned in a field outside Granada a year ago. We think she’s 2 now. There’s a stigma with black cats in Spain. She’s one of the most vocal & affectionate cats I’ve known. So, it’s kind of her birthday. Feliz cumpleaños Pumpkin! Our life is much better with you in it #cats #catsky

‘Fight hard for kindness’

She may drive us mad from time to time. But when our Gracie is like this, isn’t she just adorable? #dogsky #dogs

Morning breakfast in Gran Cafe Bib Rambla in the centre of #Granada. Old school bar with staff in white jackets. I used to come here when I first moved here as it seemed to embody ‘Granada-ness’ more than other places I knew. 11 years later it has reassuringly not changed #coffee #travel #Spain

Or as they’re otherwise known, “immigrants”
