Mum So that's what a whale shark looks like up close and dangerous...magnificent. Like the hut too - perhaps a design for the field. Great to hear all is going so well and looking forward to having the report first hand. Lots of love from us all and Mitchxxxx

Mum ARe you still there ???!! The video ends a little abruptly...... YOu are certainly clocking up some species .. looks fantastic. Here the lads are probably swimming by now in a mud puddle at Glastonbury. Going to watch Arctic Monkeys tonight and the sky is gradually clearing. All fine in other words (and the flower from the phormium has now reached the study window. Cool!) Take care of yourselves. love ya m

Slanty Unbelievable shark photos and video...is that someone screaming at the end as it cuts out...sounds very dramatic. You are so brave,don't think you would have got me in there,all I would have heard would have been the jaws music! Hannah and I want a dassie they look so cute. Continue having an amazing time and keep up with the pics. It is lovely to share in some of your adventures. Lots of love Slanty and crowd xxx
