Thanks Anushree, what a lovely reminder about St Jordi day and tradition of giving a book and a rose! I'd forgotten completely about that, but also having lived in BCN I've been exchanging those very gifts. Nice memories.
Excellent contemplation on the importance of books and reading (and lovely tales of "Dad" too). Incredible way to see through the eyes of others and gain empathy and experience without leaving the sofa :) Great stuff.
Thank you so much for reading, and leaving this lovely comment, Jonathan! Oh, when did you live in BCN? And completely agree re: reading and empathy and book travel :)
I think it was 2002/3. Wonderful city where I've spent a lot of time over the years. Fabulous weather, food, people, landscapes around. What more do you need?
