There’s Always One

This was the most used phrase on this trip away with friends 🙂 Folk getting lost, falling asleep, trying to open their hotel room with a credit card, Getting threw out of the demo for eating mustard dripping hotdogs in the front row, breaking a pot on a trader stand, trying to bluff their way into the priority boarding queue for their flight, the list was endless. But what a great few days we had on the road at the Trophy.

Here’s a few general pics of our travels. Photos of trees in exhibition to follow shortly.

It’s Time

The Trophy has arrived. Well, almost, I start travelling early tomorrow to spend Friday and Saturday at the Trophy. I’m normally only there for a few hours in and out on the same day. However this year seven of us are heading over together and meeting up with a few other travelling Irish when we get there. Looking forward to seeing old friends and quality trees. Hope to see some of you there.

Accents Emerging

I love this time of year, watching each plant and tree waking up. These two are showing signs. A Mukdemia Rossi and Muscari.

Kick Up The Backside

That’s what I need!! I’ve been so neglectful of this blog it’s a disgrace on my part. I’ve been trying to figure out why it’s been a struggle and have came to the following conclusion.

I normally use a proper camera for photos but lately I’ve found myself relying on the phone camera just from a practical point of view. I also sit at the desktop computer a lot less. A combo of these and the hassle of transferring photos that have built up in their hundreds on my phone means I just skip blogging. So, in an effort to sort this I’m going to try and do more blogging via WordPress app on my phone. This one being the first.

As a trial run, here’s some snaps from a one to one session with Ben last week were we did a little repotting and potting up of trees recently dug up from his garden.
