Starting Apprenticeship in Japan

Not me!! I can only dream :-)

No I’m referring to Jonas Sandell’s Blog. If you are not following it, you’ll be missing out. Not sure how often he’ll get the chance to post  working so hard  at Shunkaen, but each post will be enlightening. Click on the image below to visit the blog.

Nice Blog, Now in English Too

Every now and again I post a link to one of the blogs I follow.

This Finnish Blog is along similar lines to my own and due to the number of hits from English language countries the blogger has now started to post in English too. Well worth a visit and follow.  Click on the image below to visit and say hello :-)

Accent Friendship

I may have mentioned a few weeks back about swapping some accents with Xavier in France. He has kindly mentioned me on his blog showing the Soldanella that I sent in flower.

Here is his Soldanella and the lovely pot that he put it in. If you want to know more about the pot, read his post here. Google translate is my friend ;-)

Sagami Exhibition Japan

Whilst everyone is in Shohin mode I thought I would share these photos from the Sagami Exhibition shared via Yama-chan Blog

500,000 Blog Hits!

Well at some point during the night I past the 500,000 blog hits here on bonsaieejit.com. It’s actually at 509,000 by the time I got home from work!  I vaguely remember my nephew saying, ‘ You’ll hit 500,000 in no time’, when I hit 10,000. I laughed at him!

It’s not really a bonsai diary any more, although I still use it as such. It’s become a bit of a one stop shop for bonsai on the internet, new videos, good blogs, interesting articles and events, etc. I do my far share of reblogging and sharing, but isn’t that what bonsai is all about, sharing and friendship, oh, and wee trees ;-)

I have had hits from 163 countries across the world, the latest being Curacao [look it up!]

I have made 1214 blog posts and of late, these have been daily. I honestly think I’m getting a little OCD about it :!:

So many new bonsai friends, I only wish I had the money to travel the world and meet you all. As usual, any suggestions of future content, ideas etc, will all be well received.

Next update will be 1 million hits it took 2 years to get half, it’ll be interesting to see what happens.

Thank you for following, sharing, supporting, bantering, Linking, commenting and being all round good eggs.

Two Year Anniversary

Just got a message from WordPress to say happy second anniversary for my blog.

Two years!! Hard to believe. It was slow to gain momentum but then about 10 months in, things surprisingly took off. I reckon at my current rate of hits I’ll see 500,000 hits in about a month which is truly staggering.

Anyway, thanks for all the hits, follows, subscriptions, likes, reblogs, shares,etc.
