Just back from another busy club night. Must have worked on 15 trees! It was great to see so many members so enthused by the Spring Display and the Bonsai School in recent weeks. I’ve made some great friends through bonsai and this circle has really grown in the last few months. I even appear to have adopted son!!!
What an infectious addiction bonsai is!! 🙂
Just back from a hectic night of talking, cutting, pruning, and more talking, at the monthly NIBS meeting. Three new members on the night which was great to see.
I was at our monthly meeting of the NIBS tonight. Yet another busy night. Great to see people either working on trees or just enjoying a friendly chat and sharing ideas. Mario travelled up from Dublin and was half an hour late. He got a bit of stick for that but he had a good excuse with a bomb scare on the main Dublin road at Newry. I had really hoped that all that crap was behind us!!
It was nice to see a few of the trees previous worked on coming back and looking really well. One of the newer members turned up with a little larch grown from seed I think. She’s had it 15 years and it was pretty old when she got it. There must be 4 decent options in it for a nice tree.
This is the Larch.
Phil giving it a look over.
A few other shots from the night.
Ben looking over his new acquisition, a nice little larch from Willowbog. I was impressed by his willingness to get stuck in.
My son Matthew gulping down the BPM, that's all he needs, more energy! He's really starting to enjoy bonsai. Fingers crossed he'll stick at it.
I’m just back from my club’s monthly meeting. I took my son Matthew with me tonight. He’s been showing an interest in Bonsai of late and I would dearly love to be able to hand them on to a family member some time down the line. He really enjoyed his night and now wants his own tools.
It was great to see that spark of enthusiasm in the new members. One chap walked in with a heavy trunked Spirea that he has collected from the garden. I wish I had started off with this sort of material instead of some of the junk I wasted my time on. Some would say I still do 😦
