Whoop!! What a bloody year! So grateful to have had this, and just before Poppy (born in the first lockdown) turns 1! Feeling totes emosh 🥺 thank you NHS ❤❤❤

Poppy and I met up with Fliss and Teddy for a love

Poppy and I met up with Fliss and Teddy for a lovely day out at Tommy Shelby's House 🧢 Owned by the Warburton family since the Norman Conquest, and undergoing a number of changes since, interestingly the house was redesigned in the 1830s with strict instructions to the architect to keep it as historically accurate to the house's Elizabethan history as possible. Isn't it gorgeous 😍 another fun fact - the gardens were the site of one of the first herbaceous borders planted in England! Gorgeous day out and a fantastic place to meet up with fabulous friends 🥰

Poppy and I had the most fantastic time with friends at Manorafon Farm Park in Abergele! 💖💙💖 The farm is actually located just inside the original grounds (and just by the gatehouse) of Gwrych Castle, a stunning Georgian castle ruin overlooking the sea, made famous recently by being home to the I'm a Celeb ITV series! The farm is brilliant for kids. The babies loved playing together! ❤🤩

And now I'm blubbing into a hot choc and brownie as I've just dropped my little baby off at nursery for the first time, and she's never been away from me or her daddy before (thanks Covid...) or visited the place before! 😭 but I know she will love it and needs to meet more people and babies. Plus the cafe owner here is doing an AMAZING job at distracting me. Very pleased to have been recognised even without a baby attached to me 🤣

Last stop of the day was a walk along Prestatyn Dy

Last stop of the day was a walk along Prestatyn Dyserth Way with Poppy's friend Cadi and her mummy, with a cheeky pause for takeaway coffee at St Melyd's golf club! ☕ The route is an old disused railway line which used to transport goods from the nearby quarries and mines, and later passengers, for just over 100 years, closing in 1973. Now, over 60,000 people use the walkway every year! It has lovely views over the Irish Sea, back over to the Little Orme, and over to Snowdonia 🌄🌅

Another day, another tower! The tumble-down remain

Another day, another tower! The tumble-down remains of Bryniau Tower have stupendous views over Llandudno, Deganwy Castle, Snowdonia, the Conwy Valley and over to Anglesey. The tower is similar to the one we visited a few days ago near Whitford and is thought to be a 17th Century watchtower to warn of pirate raids along the coast ☠ 🔥 ⚓ Today it is a great place for a picnic with friends 🥰

Trip to see the seals (swimming in the sea today)

Trip to see the seals (swimming in the sea today) at Angel Bay on the Little Orme this morning. What a day for it! Did you know that Wales' first printing press was set up in a cave on the Little Orme? It was established in 1580's to (illegally) print Roman Catholic books during the reign of protestant Queen Elizabeth I, the equipment having been smuggled there by sea!

Gorgeous day with gorgeous babies and mummies at Trentham Gardens. I am SO PLEASED that Poppy has had an actual play date with actual babies and they all seemed to love it. And each other. ❤❤❤ thank you @anna_newmummy and @sophie__03 xxx

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

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 😍😋😎
