Natter-day.

What a great turn out yesterday for the first natter-day here at Ronin Bonsai.
-------------------------------------------------------------
First to arrive were the people who had travelled the farthest, Robert from Glasgow with Ian and Lindsey from Grimsby .

Some of the sales trees.



The weather was really good to us, so people were milling about outside most of the day



Even when it started to get dark.



This is one tree that has stayed here with me.


My sincere thanks to all who came and made it one of them really special days.

Natter-day Saturday..

Saturday 28th December see's the first time I am having a Natter-day instead of a natter night. I have a lot of my regular visitors as well as some new ones coming, along with Robert Porch with some trees for sale.
--------------------------

These tables will probably be full of trees..


I will have to start early preparing the food, not Turkey sarnies,


I for one am looking forward to a very good day with very good friends.

Update , whats been happening at Ronin Bonsai.

Having not posted for a few days, or more, here is an update of what has been going on here at Ronin Bonsai.
-------------------------------------------

The main focus of the last few weeks has been on wiring for the newbies.
Which they have relished with much gusto.





Finished for now, some after care and attention for a while and this tree will become a very nice image.


To continue with the learning cycle this Juniper is the next to be wired.



Can you hear the concentration from these two.



Taking a rest Graham ?


Finally to night Ken T brought these two Cotoneaster's for a little advice.



They will need a repot in spring as the pots are a bit on the large side.
But will make nice trees.
