Even though I was suffering from a lurgy and without a voice, Colin and I had a long arranged weekend with a great old friend and a very special extended family at Smoky Bay on the Eyre Peninsular. Of course, it was all about the food, and the wild caught, starting with oysters (just opened) and razor fish for breakfast, and going on from there. We had the most amazing catches over the days, including squid, Tommy Ruff and Blue Swimmer Crab; all caught by the boys (not from me!). It was just such an amazing weekend; finding deserted beaches, creeks and rolling sand hills that came right down to the sea, wood fires with tea from the billycan and grilling what the boys had just caught over the open fire. It was the most pristine environment and being surrounded by wonderful people topped it all off; it was truly fantastic!
