It has been said that “everyone has a book in them”. I’m still not convinced I do, but images, pictures and videos accompanying words, either spoken or written, are extremely appealing to me. It’s very hard to be irritated when you are on holiday; it’s your attitude that matters most .

Here are some vivid memories of my trip to beautiful Barcelona with my beloved wife and our two grown-up children. My favourite saying is “success is when your adult kids want to hang out with you”.

Detailed religious works of art in the Sagrada Familia high altar.

This city displays exceptionally exquisite colours in its stonework, stained glass windows, ceramics and, of course, architecture.

The pavements are filled with local artists and creatives adding to the city’s cultural landscape.

The beauty of Barcelona is evident all over.

The jaw-dropping beauty of the domed stained glass ceiling of the theatre just off Las Ramblas.

The main entrance to the imposing Sagrada Familia Catholic Cathedral.

This is Pablo Picasso's place – his image and works abound.

The world’s No 1 football club’s official merchandise store.

I have a thing for doors. What a beauty.
