Thanks …
… to all of you here and on Facebook, email etc for your kinds words about my Award at the BSA Exhibition.
I’m still here at Willowbog chilling after a great weekend. You only have to read the feedback on the forums to see just how good the standard of trees was. I personally found the best bit was getting to meet so many of you who I have only really known through the internet. It was also good to catch up with some old friends too.
I have hundreds of photos to share and some video as well. It’ll take me a day or two to get sorted and get these posted when I get home. I’m off collecting on Tuesday which will slow things down as well.
Here’s a few to whet your appetite. Can’t post too many or Peter’s internet connection will be cut off for the rest of the month 🙂
Shocked, Stunned, Delighted!
Great day at Willowbog yesterday. The BSA Exhibition was in full flow and I was able to catch up with some folk I’ve only ever met online. Hoping to spend a little more time with them and some others today.
Got the shock of my life last night when my Japanese Maple won the Best Deciduous Chuhin in Show!! Even managed to drop the trophy on the table.
The overall winner was Ritta and Mark Cooper’s stunning Shohin display. To be honest anyone of their display could have won it.
A few more photos, not too many as I’m using up most of Peter’s Upload limit as it is 🙂
