Thanks @mama_society for such a wonderful brunch a few weeks ago and to @truelight_photography for the gorgeous official photographs ❤ what a lovely way to spend the morning with two of Poppy's besties (and their fabulous mamas too of course! 🥰🥂🍾)

Gauntlet Birds of Prey, Eagle and Vulture Park was an unexpected little gem - their flying display is something that will last with me a very long time. It 👏 was 👏 superb 👏 And Poppy loved it (twit)too(woo) ❤🦅🦉

The magic faraway tree aka the Tree of Imagination

The magic faraway tree aka the Tree of Imagination in Lower Peover 🌳 🍂🧚🧙‍♂️🧝‍♀️ When the old oak tree died suddenly in 2015, the village community banded together to save the trunk, which was still sound, and transformed it into this magical landmark to inspire children and all those young at heart ❤

You actually have to stoop to get into this pub - absolutely magical 💜 This is the village of Lower Peover, the old pub nestled down a tiny cobbled road next to the medieval oak-framed church. The old school house dates to 1645. The name Peover is thought to come from the Celtic noun ‘pevr’ meaning a dart, and Anglo Saxon ‘ee’ for stream.

As we were passing, Poppy and I popped in to see Derwen Churchyard Cross a few weeks ago. It's a Medieval preaching cross with Christian carvings including foliage, faces and biblical scenes, and it stands at 14ft tall!

Poppy's birthday parties 🎈 🏰 At that point we could only meet in small groups so we had 6 parties with lots of Poppy's friends and family! Any excuse to show off these amazing 1st birthday balloons, in the shape of a princess castle, by the extremely talented @blowmeawaynw

The final pics from our Llyn getaway staycation last month - and what a view 😍 Al fresco lunch at Porth Tocyn hotel. Originally the manager's house for a local lead mine in the 1800's, the building has been a hotel run by the same family since 1948. And the food is gorgeous!! Well worth a 2 mile drive out of Abersoch 🥰

Gwesty Ty Newydd, Aberdaron for our anniversary me

Gwesty Ty Newydd, Aberdaron for our anniversary meal. This time with a little one in tow! The hotel was once one of many inns in Aberdaron, catering for pilgrims as they made their way to Ynys Enlli, Bardsey Island - the Island of 20,000 Saints - and since the middle ages it is said that three pilgrimages to Bardsey equal one to Rome! #Aberdaron #Llyn #LlynPeninsula

Walk to Porthdinllaen and Ty Coch pub on the beach

Walk to Porthdinllaen and Ty Coch pub on the beach, with stunning blue skies followed by a short sharp rain storm 😅 Trwyn (nose) Porthdinllaen - the tip of the peninsular - is a 2,500 year old promontory fort, and also a golf course. Both mummy and daddy catered for 🤠🏌‍♂️ Plus beer and prosecco. Win win win! 🍾🥂🍻

Walk along the Wales Coast Path from the cottage to Porth Widlin, Porth Ferin, Porth Iago and Porthor, also known as 'Whistling Sands' due to the sound the sand makes when you walk on it - it squeaks! Spotted a few seals along the way too 🦭🏖

Our first family holiday ❤ We stayed in an old Welsh longhouse not far from Aberdaron, Llyn. A longhouse, or Ty Hir, would have traditionally housed both humans and livestock, in different ends of the house - a single, low, oblong building. The one we stayed in had been modernised somewhat, including a jacuzzi! 🤩🍾🥂 The nearest cows we had were in the neighbouring field, which were very interested in Poppy 🐄 But we did also spot a hare and a barn owl during our stay! 🐇 🦉

But one word often left out when it comes to the two 'Ladies of Llangollen' is the word 'love'..." Read more here: https://idigarchaeology.co.uk/ladies/ 💑

So there we have it. 12 months. At 1.12am on 26th May 2020, during the first lockdown of the Covid-19 pandemic, little Poppy Gwenllian entered the world (following a failed epidural and just gas and air..!) at 9lbs exactly. What a wonderful thing to have come out of 2020. And what a fun year we have made it. Our little lockdown baby ❤❤❤

In exactly 1 hour and 12 minutes, Poppy will be exactly 1 year old. I can't believe she has been in our lives a whole year. And what a year. But it has gone so quickly. She is an absolute joy and we are so lucky to have her in our lives ❤ #lockdownbaby #happy1stbirthday
