Cool

Where mum went on holiday, there was lots of snow on the mountains and it was chilly. We have cold air blowing up from Antartica at the moment, so there is a nip in the air. It even sleeted here at the weekend which is unusual. We know we shouldn't complain as so many of our friends had a horrid winter with tons of snow.

Tomorrow she will take us somewhere even colder.

Where my mum went

This is where my mum was on holiday. It is called Lake Taupo and is in the middle of the north island in New Zealand (yes our two main islands are called the north island and south island!!).

These are some mountains nearby, as it is a very volcanic area, the lake being an old crater. It has lots of trout in the lake, and is a great area for tramping, cycling and having adventures.

Don't let the blue skies fool you, it was icy cold this morning, and snow had fallen overnight on the hills just outside town.

My kitty spa isn't quite as scenic.
