Nature Drive

Today the children and myself where joined by Nanny for the day. Nanny had told us she had not been to Lake Vyrnwy for over 40 years so we decided to take her. It was a frosty morning and after we had seen Daddy of to work Kellyn and i went out for a quick game of Football before Nanny arrived.

When Nanny arrived we had a quick cup of tea before jumping in the Kangoo and heading out into the hills. The hills where beautifully sprinkled with a light dusting of snow. We dropped of the parcels on the way through but we couldn't wait to get to our destination.
On the way through we saw lots of wildlife and birds including squirrels, Hawks and we even spotted 3 Herons and a falcon as well as lots of Sheep.
Our first stop was the Sculpture park some where Nanny had never been before. We got the children out of the car and headed into the park The views here are lovely and all you can hear is the sound of the water Kellyn was adamant that it sounded like a steam train. As we walked around the park admiring the sculptures Kellyn collected cones and other items to take home to show Daddy at home later.





We enjoyed our walk and as we where coming to the end Ceienna needed feeding so i took her back to the car and Nanny and Kellyn met me there later.


Once we had got together at the car again and Ceienna finished her feed we had a drive around the snowy lake.It was a breath taking sight, I had not driven on snow or ice for ages where as i used to do it everyday. I stopped now and then to take pictures which can be seen in our family album.


After our drive we went to Llanfylin for dinner we had Chips. before taking a scenic drive back home.
