The Mason family...

It was a cold and frosty start to our Saturday (well as cold as frosty as you can get in Brisbane – 8 degrees!)  Rick and Sophie were up well before the sparrows this morning, getting out of their toasty warm beds at 4am to rug up in their woolies to go on a fishing/crabbing trip with one of Ricks workmates. They had a great morning, with Sophie proving to be a natural, casting her line and pulling in the fish like she had done it a thousand times before.  She was lucky enough to get the first catch of the day, although had to say goodbye to her prize fish and set him free again as he was a bit small!  An hour or so later and Rick caught his first fish, this time of sufficient size which proved to it’s peril as it is now occupying a shelf in our fridge awaiting dinner!  (yes it becomes an 'it' when it is in the fridge as opposed to a 'him' when it gets released again!!)
