My boyswitches it on first thing in the morning — and I get crossabout the fact thathe immediately tunes into Radio 5 Live — then I have to faff about when he’s gone, trying to retune it toa channelthat plays music. I have the Retro MK II in Emma Bridgewater’s iconic polka dot pattern (which I was given by VQ), as you can see in these pictures that I took at home in my livingroom. At first, I wasn’t really sure how an Emma Bridgewater pattern would sit in my livingroom as the room has quite an industrial influence. However, the polka dot pattern is a perfect addition and I think it looks really great against the moss green walls. The dark green dots are almost a perfect colour match to the wall colour.

The Emma Bridgewater Radio by VQ I’ve also found that having such a versatile radio in the house is great for family life. We have this one in the livingroom and a VQ Hepburn MK II in the kitchen. We listen to them every day and one of my daughter’s favourite things to do in the morning is to have a family dance in the kitchen.

No matter what you choose to listen to it will sound fantastic thanks to the combination of the acoustically designed real wood case and a 10W ultra-wide full range stereo speaker. Those who like a little more bass or wish to tinker with the treble can do so using the full functional EQ which offers a range of presets and personalized MyEQ settings. Monty also features true innovation with the inclusion of Analogue Signal Processing (ASP) a technical evolution to deliver enhanced sound with a rich tone and no radio interference. That is why I love this collaboration between VQ and Emma Bridgewater. The radios themselves are a pleasure to use, but having them available in these beautiful new patterns makes them even more beautiful to look at and they really do make everyday life that bit more pleasurable. So imagine my excitementwhen I learned that the lovely folk at View Quest were going to send me a brand spanking new radio, as part of a style challenge, tomarkthe expansion of their Emma Bridgewater range.

The Retro Mini sounds fantastic with the premium single ultra-wide full range 5W speaker delivering a rich and room-filling audio experience. You can also tailor the acoustics with a range of six available presets for different music genres. Renowned for its signature patterns, each one carefully hand-decorated, Emma Bridgewater pottery captures the essence of British domestic life with wit and charm. Her much-loved designs celebrate everything from national events to a hearty breakfast, and pay homage to our enduring love of flowers, gardening and four-legged companions. She’s actually started to learn some of the jingles on Radio 2, which is great because it’s helping her to learn the days of the week through song. She quite oftenrepeats song lyrics and comes out with things like “Oh wow mama, this song is my favourite”and it’s usually one she’s never heard before, which makes me laugh.Boasting DAB and DAB+, you’re granted full access to a spectrum of digital services available across the UK and Europe. As an alternative, you can even switch to FM and tune in to your traditional analogue services.

When it arrived I was just a *little* bit excited!! This is no ordinary radio. Photo Credit: The Listed Home. Photo Credit: The Listed Home. In terms of design, the 9300 Retro Mk II looks a bit as though two Retro Minis have been joined together. It’s twice as wide as the Retro Mini with dimensions of 30 x 20.5 x 11.5 cm, so you will need a bit more space for it. Retro Mini by VQ is small but perfectly formed with a balance of vintage style and modern functionality, making it irresistible. Coming in a comprehensive choice of colours and designer prints to perfectly fit your home.I love the way that the radio brings us all together in a way that we can enjoy as a family. This is certainly not the case with the TV. If CBeebies is on, she goes into a trance where she will sit in front of the telly not speaking and not taking her eyes off the screen. She doesn’t move and it’s hard to get any interaction with her. Give me the radio over TV any day.
