Kaleidoscopes, clouds, snowflakes, whooshing and pulsing - all in my own head, with my eyes closed. Fully sober... Yesterday I had the complete honour of attending the launch of @drea_m_achine in #Cardiff and I'm still trying to find the words to describe what happened..! On reflection, I can say it was active, vivid, scientific, emotional at times and utterly enthralling. Dreamachine is one of 5 projects in Wales part of @unboxed2022 I've been helping to support. The original #Dreamachine was invented in the 1950s and has been brought whooshing into the 21st Century by a team of artists, scientists, technicians and more, creating this multi-sensory experience but through your own closed eyes. And it is actually all coming from your own mind. It is in Cardiff until 18 June, and there is also one in London. They'll also be in Belfast and Edinburgh later this summer. And it is free! I would say it is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, but actually I really want to book it again!!

Today I gave my first live talk in two years! To actual real people, not on zoom!! Thanks Denbigh & District Probus for having me. It was hosted at Oriel House Hotel. First built as a grand country home in 1780, it was a boys boarding school 1911-1969 originally called Bryn Elwy. Its name was later changed to Oriel (which the hotel now uses) as the founding headmaster attended Oriel College Oxford #didyouknow #placenames #history #stasaph

Today we met up with lovely friends in Deadman's Green - a tiny village thought to be named after a battle between the Danes and Saxons. Three inscribed Saxon crosses in the nearby churchyard of Checkley are said to commemorate three bishops killed in the battle. You can easily make out three figures on one of them. The church itself has Norman origins and is regarded as one of England's 1000 best churches #checkley #deadmansgreen #saxon #staffordshire #history #blossom

Had a gorgeous family break away in Dyffryn Ardudw

Had a gorgeous family break away in Dyffryn Ardudwy for our 8th wedding anniversary (thanks for all the love! ❤), so of course we had to visit the burial chamber(s) in the village. Dating back to the Neolithic period, the first chamber was built, then the larger was added as an extension. Later in the Bronze Age, pottery and cremations were added - the chambers would originally have been covered by a big mound. Just a two minute walk from the main road between Harlech and Barmouth, it is a still a tranquil and calm place, now covered in native bluebells 🌿 #dyffrynardudwy #dyffrynardudwyburialchamber #neolithic #bronzeage #archaeology #wales #heritage #history #hanes #cymru

This week on #WeathermanWalking I am in the tiny #Monmouthshire village of Trellech, or Treleck, which has a surprising number of historical monuments! From standing stones and an ancient well, to medieval fishponds, a Motte and Bailey castle, plus a gorgeous old pub and what one man believes is a lost medieval city... Find out more tomorrow night, BBC1 Wales, 7.30pm! More info here: http://idigarchaeology.co.uk/in-search-of-wales-ancient-lost-city/

#Derwentwater #LakeDistrict - a link to home as the word Derwent means 'river with Oak trees' (Derwen is Welsh for Oak). In the 16th Century, the foreshore was used as a landing site for the local mining community, and has been a popular tourist spot since Victorian times when the railway first came to Keswick #funfacts #thelakes #history #minibreak

About (Us) Last Night. @aboutus2022_ and @unboxed2022 launched in Wales last night and it was just breathtaking, awesome, spectacular. I am so proud of the tiny part I have played (and am playing) in these superb projects. About Us is in Caernarfon until Monday. It is touring, but each show is unique to the town it is in, and inspired by and includes their townsfolk, local choirs, businesses and young people. Pobl o Gaernarfon a Gogs - this is a must-see. You will not be disappointed 😍🤩🥰🌌

What was I up to, with this mini-r2d2-lookalike, up on a hillfort last week? I was part of this spectacular test event for the upcoming #GreenSpaceDarkSkies, making massive artworks in the countryside with these innovative, low-impact 'geo-lights'. In my element spending the day (and evening!) on the beautiful hillfort of Dinas Dinlle, overlooking the Irish Sea, watching the sunset, and helping the lights dance 🌌 More events coming soon to a countryside spot near you!

Today is #WearAHatDay raising awareness for Brain Tumour Research. So here I am in my very best ErIndiana Lloyd Jones hat. Because four years (and two weeks) ago, my amazing dad died of a brain tumour, just 6 months after diagnosis, at the age of just 69. I'm still devastated. We need to keep researching to find a cure. We need more funding. So #gethatty, get sharing, get donating to @braintumourrsch and together we will find a cure 🥰

So excited the new series of #WeathermanWalking is back tonight! Tune in 7.30pm BBC1 Wales or on iPlayer. More details here: https://idigarchaeology.co.uk/weatherman-walking-2022/

What a gorgeous time we had at @cheshiremamaclub under 5's Valentine's disco! Held in a little Cheshire village called Elton (recorded in the 11th Century as 'Eltone' derived from the words el and tun meaning eel town/eel farm!) which in my opinion is a great name for a place hosting a disco. By the end, I can confirm, we were still standing. Yeah yeah yeah 🎶 and Poppy had her face painted for the first time! A brilliant afternoon 💘 💃 💜 #tinydancer
