Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Morgan has always wanted to go on holiday in a caravan. Don’t ask me why he has this ambition, he’s nearly 5 and I have no idea why he does half the things he does! For example he spends lots of his time running around thinking he’s a Power Ranger, obviously he’s not, he just...
Anna and I don’t have too many secrets from each other, we tell each other everything and that leads to a happy, successful relationship. Or maybe I should rephrase that and say as far as I know, we don’t have any secrets – I don’t at least! However, now and then you find out things...
Sometimes I wonder if humans go a bit over the top with spoiling their pets and I have to ask myself if our efforts are appreciated. For those that don’t know, we have a very neurotic cat. We didn’t plan to get a cat and rescued her when she was a young kitten. That is...
Morgan went to a swimming party yesterday. As it was a private party I thought I’d give my underwater camera a try out and get some shots of him playing in the water. It seemed to work quite well, even the video quality was OK. Shame about my videography skills, but I was only messing...
No, not mine or Anna’s, but Morgan’s. He seems to have several parties to go to each week at the moment. A party in Borth hall last weekend, a swimming party this afternoon, party in the Rugby Club on Sunday afternoon, a party in the soft play area next Thursday and his own ‘Cinema Party...
We went to see the pantomime at Aberystwyth Arts Centre yesterday. It was Jack and the Beanstalk and I was pleasantly surprised. The pantomime is put on by The Wardens Dramatic Society who have been producing shows in Aberystwyth since Jack and the Beanstalk in 1983. The productions are directed by Richard Cheshire, who also...
It’s going to be a busy day today. Despite having my car serviced and MOT’d just before Christmas, on Christmas eve it decided to break-down meaning I needed the recovery service to come out to meet me in Morissons car park so that I could get home for Christmas. Since then its been sat on...
I bought Anna a 1000 piece ‘Where’s Wally’ jigsaw puzzle for Christmas. I think she enjoyed the relaxation of sitting there doing it over the Christmas break and before long it was nearly completed. Then came the day of final success, it was nearly done, until she got down to one piece to go. The...
Like people all over the country, we made the most of the lovely winter weather and went for a walk on New Years Day. Nothing too adventurous as we had Morgan and ‘Granny’ with us so we just had a little stroll around the Ynyshir Nature Reserve. There were lots of Canada Geese on around...
