Happy Halloween

For all those dressing up tonight, don’t drink too much and have a good time. The best  looking Halloween bonsai image I could come up with was my wee avatar 🙂

Autumn or Not!

There are certainly signs of Autumn everywhere in the garden but some trees seem to be ignoring it!

The larch is still showing no sign of turning and it’s nearly November!

London Baby!

A little Friends reference there for the lovers of the show.

Here is a few more from my very quick dander around the sights on Tuesday afternoon. Haven’t been in London for years and I rather enjoyed seeing the sights. Even better, I was there courtesy of work 🙂 I did have to attend a conference on Child Protection in the Digital World on the Wednesday, but that was rather good too. Sad I know!

To Arthur!

Happy Arthur’s Day 🙂

Email Fail

It would appear that some people who have emailed me via the ‘contact me’ tab have not received my replies. Apologies if this was you, I’m not being rude 🙂

Contact can be made direct to bonsaieejitatgmail.com in the meantime while I see what’s wrong.

Around the World in 80 Gardens

For those of you in the UK or who have access to BBC IPlayer, here’s a link to an episode of Around the World in 80 Gardens, this one looking at Chinese and Japanese Gardens.

Guest Appearance

I have always said here that if any of you are in the area on holiday, feel free to give me a shout and pop in for a visit and a chat. Well Nathaniel did just that. Born here in Belfast , and moved to Canada when he was ten, he was back to attend a wedding and catch up with family. As usual with these family holidays, time flies in and he just managed to squeeze in a quick trip to my place.

Nat is a big lover of the videos I post on Youtube and when he saw the club sign in my garage, he was keen to get a snap. He’s a recent addition to the Toronto Bonsai Society himself.
