VQ retro radio giveaway

I have a new friend and it follows me around the house wherever I go. And I love it.

I’ve always had a thing about radio; listening to the dulcet tones of Radio 4 in the morning and whilst I work or playing music whilst I cook in the evenings. I also love listening to podcasts, especially on Sunday afternoons or as I sew. My new VQ digital retro radio is perfect for all these things and more. It can run on batteries so I can carry it around with me from room to room (or you can plug it in) and I can also pull out the iPod dock and hook it up to my phone and play music from Spotify, which works perfectly when we have friends round. You can even connect it to your computer and the sound quality is great. Most importantly (obvs!), I think it looks great and the leatherette finish is really high quality. I really, really love it.

I love the retro styling and it works perfectly on my G-plan sideboard.

The stylish leatherette finish is beautiful (I couldn’t tell it wasn’t real leather).

    It would have to be the mustard yellow for its bright beauty! Radios are such wonderful things. I have one in my kitchen but would love one in my little study. They are companions and sources of such information. Transporting you back with a few bars of a song or getting you up on your feet for an impromptu (and often secret) dance! They are wonderful things and these designs and colours celebrate that it spades!
