30 day's to go.

The excitement is starting to take hold as it there are only 30 day's left until we go back to the Noelanders show in Belgium.
----------------------------------------------------

My purchases from last year, I will probably have as much if not more this year.


Looking forward to meeting friends, old and new, for a few drinks and meals.


Most of all a good laugh.

Natter night 2nd January 2017.

The first natter night in 2017 was a little quiet with only four people coming, but it was a bank holiday.

Susan G brought two tree,s already wired, to be tweaked into shape.
This first one a Larch.


After a little more wire was added it now looks more like a tree, I did wire the main trunk and put some movement into the part between the first and second branch on the right, but forgot to take another photo.


This second tree a Cotoneaster, was also wired ready for a basic styling.


After the work, now all it needs is to be clipped back during the growing season.


Ken M brought his twin trunk Larch but decided to wait until the next workshop with Robert Porch in February before doing any work on it.


A good night for the first one of the year.

Happy new year.

My first post of 2017.

An update on this Boulevard Cypress, this was it one year after collecting from a garden.


How it is this morning, a much improved image.


Looking forward to the coming season of fresh growth.

No Bonsai Thursday.

Even though I did not have a Bonsai day today I thought I should still post something.

The sun setting and the street light's coming on, but it is 4-45 pm and still light, so the day's are getting longer quite fast.


This has to be good for the Bonsai.

After the storms.

We had a couple of storms over the Xmas period which have now gone and given way to a beautiful day, even though quite cold it is nice to see some sunshine in the garden.


As you can see the trees are still out on the benches enjoying the mid Winter sun.
