The guest bedroom gets the morning sun

This is Bronson, the senior resident, and 'top cat'.

Yes. we have cats too!  Here are Monty and Twiggy looking innocent after demolishing my catnip plant once again.  Together with the senior member, Bronson they are an important part of the household.

The two people owned by the cats! Your hosts - Ray and Gae Thompson, ex-Aucklanders who moved to Taupo in 1998.  Ray is ex RNZNVR  (HMNZS Ngapona) and now keeps busy with his interests down here. He is a member of the Taupo RSA and Treasurer of the Ex Navalmans Association here.  Gae's interests in old fashioned roses, craftwork and floral design are reflected in the house and garden.
