Last weekend we visited friends in Matakana; Alison and Roy. Alison and Roy used to have a cattery - THE cattery - where we got Misty and Molly from :) (And they still have 3 ragdoll cats - and a couple of dogs - and cows in the back-yard :)
But it was worth it, just look at the Pohutukawas - they're amazing! And the view of course :)
