Last week, my friend Morgaine suggested we head out to her Dad’s new place that he’s just built out in Ramarama, about 20-30 minutes from Central Auckland. Having not seen the house yet, Moana and I agreed that it would be a good chance to also get away from the city.

It’s amazing how, despite only being 20 minutes away from the city, the change in pace is almost immediate. It was really lovely to hang out with two friends who I haven’t seen in months, and being able to do it in a relaxing environment out in the country!
