Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
We convinced Morgan to get off his computer one sunny day in the holidays. With his friends James they were banished to the garden to take some optical illusion photos. They had a good time out there once they were actually out in the real world. Here are some of their photos.
Morgan decided it was time for a haircut. So, while we were at my parents at the weekend, Kia my niece cut his hair for him. He doesn’t do things by halves – talk about drastic! Quite a transformation I think you’ll agree! I guess it should be easier to look after, but will need...
Whilst I was out on Sunday at the Carmarthen Showground Cyclo-cross event, Morgan and his friend James decided to do some bottle flipping. It’s one of those crazes that seems to be sweeping the nation and as a pre-teen Morgan of course jumps onto every one of them. They made a few YouTube videos of...
Once again this year Morgan was selected to represent his school in the Aberystwyth District Cross Country Championships. That is despite doing no training whatsoever, something that we will nave to address as he could do quite well if he just did one or two runs beforehand to remind himself of how to pace etc....
Hot on the heels of Sports Day at school, the next day after school we headed out for the Ras yr Hafod at Hafod Estate. This was an adult 10k race along with several kids races. Morgan wanted to do it, but not alone so roped his friend Cameron into it as well. None of them...
Anna and I had the afternoon off on Friday in order to support Morgan at the Ceredigion Urdd Cross Country Championships. He qualified for these last year at the Aberystwyth Area Championships where he placed 9th. This would of course be a different level as everyone here had qualified and Morgan had only just got in...
Morgan’s class all came out of school cradling little surprises for us the other day wrapped in tissue paper. When we opened it this is what we found. Don’t worry, it isn’t what you think! Apparently they had been working on clay modelling and sculpturing during the day and the topic was ‘something from nature’....
It was Morgans School Fete yetserday and the theme was ‘The Circus’. Thankfully the rain held off and we all had fun. Morgan went dressed as a clown wearing a home made bow-tie, my shorts, my shoes, a red nose and a clowns hat which looked pretty good. We all raised lots of money for...
Just a couple of photos of our spooky pumpkin from Halloween. I was out cycling whilst the pumpkin was being created so don’t know if there was a story behind it or not, but it looks as though Morgan was enjoying himself and the end result was really good.
