Huge honour to be on the Lynn Bowles show with Derek last Sunday to share some stories about the new season of Weatherman Walking, currently on every Friday evening on BBC 1 at 7.35pm, and now streaming on BBC iPlayer. Read more and listen to our interview, which will be available for about 1 month, here: https://idigarchaeology.co.uk/lynn-bowles/

Back in my birth town and a meet up (finally!) with Uncle Vic, who I haven't seen for 18 months. In fact, the last time I saw him, I showed him my tiny baby bump and told him I was pregnant 🥰 So glad Poppy has finally met him and thanked him in person for her bike 🚲 So today she has seen Aunty, Graunty, Gruncle and good friend Liz with her adorable Cavapoo Pepper 🐶 All in all, a lovely day back in Yorkshire 🌸

Finally made it to Mynydd Mostyn, and no queue! Self-serve local milkshake fresh from the farm, plus we saw the cows coming in for milking 🐄🐃🐂🥛🧋Poppy looks particularly interested in the special this week - cappuccino flavour 😋#mynyddmostyn

Went on a search for an abandoned tower this afternoon! 🏛🏰 Mynydd y Garreg Tower, or 'Pharos', has a few legends & theories associated with it - some say it was a Roman lighthouse, others an Elizabethan watch tower, or a beacon to warn people of pirate raids... Two very similar towers are quite nearby along the coast at Abergele and Llandudno. A gorgeous walk today with a gorgeous pair, with adventure, history and sea views - perfect!

Coffee & a snack at the site of Wepre Hall at Wepr

Coffee & a snack at the site of Wepre Hall at Wepre Park near Shotton & Ewloe. Here there was once a Georgian manor house, built on the site of an even earlier hall house. It was commandeered by the army during WWII and was later a care home before being demolished in 1960. The park is a really gorgeous place for a walk and you'll also find the ruins of medieval Ewloe Castle hidden within the woods! Perfect place for our Cylch Ti a Fi session this morning 🤗

Llyn Idwal is said to be named after Prince Owain Gwynedd's son who was drowned here by his jealous uncle 😓 Legend says that the birds who lived here flew away in sorrow because of the tragic deed. We did see some Canada Geese today though... can you spot them in the pictures? Such a gorgeous morning at Cwm Idwal with Poppy's friend Ieuan & his mummy @cerianwj 🏞 with a stunning walk to Llyn Idwal then a picnic for babies & takeaway drinks for the mummies. I had Bovril 😍😋😎

Tune in Friday BBC1 Wales, 8.05pm for a new episode of #WeathermanWalking in Pembrokeshire. The idea that Stonehenge's bluestones - a number of stones making up one of the stone circles (yes, there is more than one!) - come from Pembrokeshire has been around for quite some time. But exactly where has been contested for just as long. In this episode I speak to the person who solved this 4,500 year old mystery! Read more here: idigarchaeology.co.uk/stonehenge/

Now THIS feels like maternity leave!! Crossed the border today and had a fabulous day in Chester with Poppy's first boat trip on the Lady Di, a cheeky Seedlip and shared lunch at The Architect, a walk along the walls and River Dee with an ice cream, and finished with a coffee at #SnugburysOnTheRiver

Super to meet up with Graunty Marjorie at #WaltonH

Super to meet up with Graunty Marjorie at #WaltonHall. It was built by the Greenall family (known for their breweries and, most relevant to me, Greenall's Gin 😁) but it was bought in 1941 by Warrington Borough Council for officers and troops during WW2. When the war ended in 1945, the council opened the gardens to the public and they remain so today!

I really love #HalkynMountain ❤ it is so packed

I really love #HalkynMountain ❤ it is so packed with history wherever you traipse. This lime kiln, for example, dates from the 1800's. The limestone would have been quarried nearby, then burned here at 1000⁰C to turn it into lime 🔥🔥🔥

Superb talk this evening by #InstituteforthestudyofWelshEstates on nearby Maesmynan Hall. I've been particularly interested in this place as Gwenllian, daughter of Prince Llywelyn the Great, lived here once upon a time, and it is just down the road from us! 🥰🏛 #iswe #caerwys #afonwen
