I sort of said that I would be ignoring milestones on the blog until I hit a really big one, but this one’s not on the blog 🙂
Hard to believe that I have reached 1000 on my YouTube channel subscriptions. This has really pissed my son off as his only has 200 😀 Over 250,000 views as well!!

Another excellent post by PW, worth reading for the quotes alone. Not that what he had to say was too bad either 😉

Got a nice email from my accent swapping buddy Xavier in France the other day letting me know that I was now, in his words, ‘Famous in France!’ He had just received his latest copy of Esprit Bonsai Magazine and they had written a little article about my blog in there. He sent me this copy of it.
My French is a little rusty but he was also kind enough to translate it for me too.
Ian Young is Irish and a member of the NIBS. In just two and a half years, his blog, established in early 2011, has been enriched with hundreds of photos, as well as the history of the trees tfrom his visits to amateur bonsai enthusiasts. These photos show the diversity of choice of species and culture in the British Isles, but also in the United States. Some reports detailing exciting yamadori outputs. Ian Young shows a certain attraction for shohin, or at least reasonably sized trees, which he begins to have a nice collection. Pictures of exhibits, especially in Japan and gathered on friend’s blogs, complete this site. This blog is the official website of the NIBS too.
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.
Some more excellent Japanese Exhibition photos from the bonsai Days blog. This time from Nishinihon meihin-ten.
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 🙂
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 😉
