As Mrs Brown would say, ‘That’s Nice’
I suppose you have to watch Mrs Brown to get that, and to be honest, it’s out of context. When Mrs Brown says, ‘That’s Nice’, she really means ‘Feck Off!!’ In this case it really was nice to read another persons comments about this blog and for them to think enough of it to mention it on their own.
Cheers Mike K.
What’s he prattling on about I here you say, Go to MiKo Bonsai Blog to see for yourself.
And here’s a taster of Mrs Brown, one of the few Comedy Programmes that actually makes me laugh out Loud. Strong Language Warning!
Ray the Ronin Willowbogger – New Blog
Should that read as Willowblogger?
Ray is one of Peter’s big helpers at the nursery, I would go as far as saying he works harder than Peter 😛
Ray has started a new blog and I thought I would share this with you. Just click on the photo below or find it any time in the sidebar.
Yamadori and Bonsai material from Tony Tickle
I’m sure most of you have noticed that Tony Tickle has started a new blogsite titled Yamadori and Bonsai material from Tony Tickle.
I liked its layout so much, I copied his WordPress Theme 🙂 Well, me and the 50,000 other wordpressers who use it!
Every now and again I like to add a post here pointing out new blogs worth following, and today is Tony’s turn. His site has new posts pretty much daily. The are plenty of videos and some excellent information interspersed with Tony’s humour.

Your Noelanders Fix
Just spent a good hour browsing through what’s been uploaded from this years Noelanders Trophy.
Here are a few links well worth looking at.
Jerry Norbury’s FlickR
Jerry’s Norbury’s Video
Jerry’s Sales area video
Jeffery Van De Pol’s Album
IBC Thread
Awaiting the results with interest 🙂
Even More Videos!
There really is some great videos out there on You Tube if you look. I’m not really looking for long instructional videos, just something to fill a few minutes and lets you see some top quality bonsai.
Starting to think that a page on here linking all the good ones in one place might be an idea.
Introducing ‘The Bonsai Baker’
Many of you have heard me talking about trees belonging to my friend Stephen. Stephen and I met way back in 1995 when he joined the NI Bonsai Society. We have stayed good friends ever since. You will recognise him from my Sunday walks as he’s a fellow dog walker and nature lover. I can honestly say that Stephen is one of the nicest blokes you’ll meet in bonsai circles in East Belfast 😀 Oh OK, Northern Ireland and the world beyond 😉 I count myself lucky to have him as a friend.
Today Stephen took the plunge and started his own blog. Like me, he is starting this because he wants to keep a record of his bonsai and related events during the year. He asked me to help him get started with his blog and I was happy to oblige. I doubt he’ll be as a prolific a poster as me, who is 🙂 he isn’t a computer lover, but, with encouragement, I think he’ll happily become an internet regular.
Why Bonsai Baker? Simple, he keeps bonsai and he’s a baker 🙂
Click on the image above to visit his blogsite. It’s bare bones at the moment but be assured, I’ll be keeping the pressure on him to add more. He has plenty of trees to share with us. You can also follow him on FlickR and Facebook.
Leave him a few words of encouragement.
2011 in review
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2011 annual report for this blog.
Here’s an excerpt:
The concert hall at the Syndey Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 50,000 times in 2011. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 19 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.
Blog of the Week
Over the next few months, while my own bonsai exploits are sitting at idle, I’m hoping to point you in the direction of other good websites and blogsites. I have an extensive list of blogs that I follow on Google Reader that can be subscribed to at the click of a button once you have got your reader account set up.
However, by featuring my favourites here, I hope to share the love 😀
Today’s offering is Jonas Dupuich’s blogsite, Bonsai Tonight. Jonas, is a Californian Bonsai Enthusiast and he’s currently spending some time at the Aichi-en Bonsai Nursery in Japan. He shares new posts every Tuesday and Friday and some quality bonsai can be seen throughout his blog posts.
Just click on one of his images below to visit his blog. As usual, it’s now been added to my favourites list on the side panel.
