Tom Thumb

Tom went back in the sea today for the first time since 'the thing'. He went in in a life jacket, clutching his dad's hand, protesting that he wasn't really bothered and didn't fancy a swim .....

About two minutes later, the jacket was off, the hand released and he was bobbing and ducking amongst the fish - no snorkel, just his mask - and his dad at his side. He saw grouper, parrot, lion, butterfly and angel fish and a huge Napoleon wrasse.

He's a fantastic Blip assistant and is always happy to be my Blipee, so I'm marking 300 Blips today with a picture of my happy, healthy Tom.

Thanks, everyone, for your kind comments and good wishes. Tom says a huge thank you and a thumbs up too.
