    A funny story to share,my Dearest Uncle passed away recently (that’s not the funny part),and he was Welsh.
    Bevan Smith.
    Now,despite my Hispanic Surname,I actually grew up in Italian culture.
    Poor Bevan,he had to approach my Sicilian Grandfather,Giuseppe Montalto,a very stern man.
    He had to sit before him and ask for his blessing to marry his oldest daughter.
    A Welshman!!
    And my grandfather,he said,”Well,at least you’re a Catholic,so,all right then.”
    Ha!
    My father,aPuertorican man,ohh,he didn’t have it as easy!
    On my parents’ wedding day,Giuseppe said to my mom,”It’s not too late to change your mind.”
    😂
    Anyway,seeing that Roman bath reminds me.
    I stink.
    I need to bathe.
    It’s been 3 days😫

      I'm a farmer up near Caernarfon. Part of the Roman road from Segontium goes through my land and can be seen raised in the fields. One bonus of being a detecting farmer is that i know most of the farmers that own the land that this road runs through to the point of Caerhun, this makes it easier to approach the landowners to get permissions. Keep up the good work. Really enjoy your video's 🙂

    Great information! Thank you. I was brought up in North Wales (now Australia). I was well aware of the many castles and medieval history but knew very little of the Roman occupation of Wales. This video has ignited my interest and I will explore, when I visit next. Thanks again.

    You are both amazing young ladies, I am so happy you are getting the opportunity to travel to these beautiful places! I can hear the excitement in your voices, and I to feel the excitement and joy of yours.
    The museum was something extraordinary to see all of those beautiful old artifacts was awesome 😎 I am looking forward to your next video as you travel to splendid places ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💜
    I have a great suggestion for you both! Have you heard of Let’s Go with the Johnsons? Well they live there in Wales and they use to go mudlarking everywhere! Now they are traveling and taking us with them 😊😊 it’s fascinating to see all of the places they go. They share the history of architecture and the stories behind it all. I definitely love it and them! Check them out on UA-cam. See you soon 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻

    thanx for your roman tour. i'm in portland, oregon & knew little abt. the romans in gb until i discovered time team a few yrs. ago. watched every episode & then stumbled on mud larking videos, then metal detecting videos. i love how much you've all taught me abt. your country & the romans. i loved the glass tear catcher too. so small & delicate. how do they survive!

    Being a new sub, this is the 1st time you hear from me. I've been getting truly stuck into some of the other material, about 30 videos so far, and have been kept captivated all the way. I'd be interested to hear about your experiences with the time team, if of course you were with them.
    I do have a question, when you come across glass, how can you tell, without any doubt, that you've got roman?
    A personal tip for Lucy, be careful where you sit, you trousers look juicy... Hehehe
    I really like the pace of the videos, and the freedom from worldly troubles while watching them.
    Take care ladies. TTFN.

    I havn't been to Wales since I was a kid on family holidays. We can't have been too far away from some of the places you visit in Part 1, but I don't remember the landscape looking that dramatic. Fantastic. I loved seeing the settings for each site, thanks for taking the time to keep in the clips of the approaches and high streets!
    We can't wait for Part 2!
