What a gorgeous afternoon spent with the Weatherman Walking crew very close to home, plus finally got to meet the extremely knowledgeable and talented @lizziedalywild, Poppy got to see her mate Derek again, and we all met up with my mum and aunty too! And what a view along the River Dee! IncreDEEble!

Lower Slaughter and Bourton on the Water. Plus a giant baby 😆 The name Lower 'Slaughter' stems from the Old English name for a wet land - 'slough' or 'slothre' (Old English for muddy!). The Model Village is a 1/9th scale 1930s replica of Bourton on the Water. Poppy loved stomping round after a nap around the majority of nearby Birdland 😅

The Porch House, Stow on the Wold. The oldest pub

The Porch House, Stow on the Wold. The oldest pub in England - timbers here have been dated to the 10th Century! Aethelmar the Stout, a Cornish Saxon Duke, ordered for it to be built as a hostel for pilgrims. It was redesigned in 1615, when the porch was added

Cosy Cotswolds ❤ including the magical Yew Tree Door at St Michael's Church at Stow-on-the-World, said to have inspired JRR Tolkien’s Elven Doors of Durin. Find out more about places with mystical yew trees by watching my Yew-tube video 😉 https://youtu.be/ojPmUJOfngA

Charingworth Manor - our gorgeous hotel for our trip to the Cotswolds earlier this summer. Dating back to the 14th century, it is mentioned in Domesday Book and T.S Elliot was once a frequent houseguest! We also met a cat 🐈

Poppy LOVES to dance!! This was her first in-person concert a few weeks ago and she loved it! @oldtimesailors are definitely her favourite band. We are so lucky they've been with us in the Caerwys Community and bring so much joy to us all. And what a great location for this at @penbedwluxuryyurt 🥰 Ahoy!

The patchwork bridge at Llangollen 🌁 So pleased

The patchwork bridge at Llangollen 🌁 So pleased we got to see this while we were in Llan for the wedding ❤ and what a great view from @riverbanc_llangollen the morning after the night before! The Patchwork Bridge was created to mark the return of the International Eisteddfod, and included a piece by my mum's WI group! The artwork was entitled 'Bridges not Walls' and included over 100 individually handcrafted squares of fabric by both the local community and people from around the globe, showcasing and celebrating traditional crafts ❤

Caerwys scarecrow festival was just so wonderful.

Caerwys scarecrow festival was just so wonderful. All with a children's literary theme. And brilliant despite the downpours. We are so lucky to live so near to this gorgeous village (fun fact - it is actually the smallest town with a Royal Charter in the UK, granted in 1290. It is actually a 'planted town' just like Conwy and Caernarfon, minus the castle! #historyfacts #ijustcanthelpmyself)

Took Poppy to Messy Play for the first time last month with @playpartycreate. What's the first thing she did? Sat in a tray of beans. Messy indeed! 🤣

Thank you all for my birthday wishes. My husband asked me what I wanted to do - get my family reunited, I replied ❤ gorgeous weekend in the Peak District for a Robinson Reunion 🥰 plus a new member joining the clan's festivities for the first time

Our recent trip with Nana to see Llanymynech Limew

Our recent trip with Nana to see Llanymynech Limeworks and Hoffmann Kiln, followed by a cuppa at Canal Central at Maesbury Marsh ☕
The limeworks are vast! As well as the famous kiln, they include lots of workings, tally house, stables, even the now-abandoned railway station!
The Hoffmann 'ring kiln' - which could burn lime continuously, day and night - is one of only 3 left in the UK, but its still-intact 40m chimney makes it unique.
Following the outbreak of the war in 1914, the limeworks and railway sidings closed, and the Hoffmann kiln was used as a cattle shed for 60 years - that's 4 times longer than it had been used as a kiln before coming obsolete...

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 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 ❤
