I’m a firm believer in supporting your local business. Having seen these turntables and bending bars, I thought it was well worth giving this site a plug here on the blog for those of us in the UK, and I suppose further afield too. Click on the gadgets 4 Bonsai image to visit the site.
Where has the year gone!!
I would like to wish all the followers of my blog a very Happy christmas. Your support and friendship means a lot.
Thought I would share a link to the latest episode of the BBC’s Countryfile programme which looks at the spread of new diseases across the UK in recent years.
Where does this leave bonsai and imported trees?

Mr Snart, posted a link to this article on Facebook yesterday and I thought it was worth sharing. Click on the image to read.
A few weeks ago I was walking around the fantastic Christmas Market in the grounds of Belfast City Hall soaking up the festive spirit and stuffing my face with all sorts of good food. I took this photo of the sign that captured the moment.
Sadly this has come to a end. How this country can self destruct so quickly is beyond me. I hate politics, racism, sectarianism.
What am I talking about? This sign pictured above overlooked a riot at the weekend. The market was closed after being wrecked. This Fact File from the BBC will fill you in.
I grew up on one side of the religious divide in Northern Ireland and my best friend as a child was from the other side. I know who I am, I don’t need help with my identity, I never really understood the need for this tribalism. Some people need to step back and think about what really matters in life. This photo says it all, the two opposing flags side by side in Afghanistan were soldiers from both sides in Northern Ireland fight together. It’s who got your back that matters, not what flag they fly.
Some tree styling done this weekend. My son caught me in the act of my usual Christmas task. Anything in my my house to do with trees is my job 🙂
Jerry, a fellow forum buddy over on Wee Trees Bonsai Forum, posted a link to a BBC article ‘Stunted’ pot plants cannot reach full potential.
Worth a read through, however, didn’t most of us already have a fair idea that this was the case?
The full PDF scientific paper on the subject can be read here. Some interesting observations if you can spare the time to read it.
