Lost in books ....

One crisp wintery Saturday, we had our usual lazy-day roam around Malvern town. There was a certain calm and quiet about town mainly because it was just after the new year. We didn't feel like doing much that morning; no grocery or errand-running, no planning to buy DIY stuff, no rushing for post-christmas/new year sales, blah blah. It was nice to have a weekend not to think of doing anything at all. We had real coffee at the local tearoom, roamed around the charity and bookshops and had lunch at the local cafeteria called Henry's. It was simple delight.

When we were at one of the bookshops, Morgan immediately found a little cosy corner and spent a long time browsing through the children's section on his own. All the time he was talking to himself and looking at pictures with great wonder, which attracted a few people's attention behind the many rows of bookshelves. At the same time he was maintaining this very quiet atmosphere like somebody who's totally lost in his own thoughts. While we observed him sitting there totally engrossed, we thought - never would he have guessed that his great-grandfather was a headmaster ... whom he might incidentally share his passion for knowledge and books! That's my little man for you -- looking so little yet behaving like a grown-up, or so it seems!
