While we were away this week, we spent a great day at Lake Vyrnwy. Had a great time bike-riding round the lake with Joe (our eldest, who is all of 7) - its the first time he's cycled on the road and it was one of those really nice 'dad and lad' moments.

The lake was created (controversially) in the 1880's to supply water for the city of Liverpool - you can read more here.
