John Brocklehurst, as well as exhibiting at the weekend, also had a trade stand. His beautiful ji ita boards could be seen all over the exhibit stands. One was kindly loaned to me for my accent.
This was his display.
John also made a great double act with Mr Warren during the auction. Here’s Trev and Trev in action 🙂
Who dropped one??!! 🙂

Plenty of things impressed me at the weekend and not just the Exhibition itself. I was also delighted to have the opportunity to buy from a few of the trade stands.
My first purchases, albeit small ones, were from Suteki, Simon Haddon, Bonsai monkey. He’s even more names than me 😀 He had a small but packed display and I took up one of his great offers for multi purchases. When I eventually get them planted up, I’ll share the results here.
In the mean time, here’s his stand.
This is Simon’s tree, a Lonicera that won a Certificate of Merit.
