Back to School
For some folk, going to the Bonsai School at the weekend was literally like going back to school!!
Phil misbehaving at the back of the class, giving Jamie, the teachers pet, a hard time 😉
Naughty boy 🙂
All Action
Some Action shots capturing the goings on at the weekend. Some from the NIBS Bonsai School and some from the Willowbog Bonsai Workshop.
Sign Me Up
After some deliberation I have decided to miss out on the Noelanders Trophy next year. Just working out the cost and travel issues getting there from N Ireland was giving me a headache.
I have therefore opted to sign up for a workshop with Ryan Neil at Willowbog Bonsai instead 🙂 That gives me 10 months to try and find something decent to work on!!! I feel rather excited at the prospect already.
A Walk Around Willowbog
While I was over at Willowbog last weekend I took a few video clips of the Nursery and some stills of the trees. Rather than have them just sitting on my hard drive, I have put them together for a little walking tour of the some, but not all parts of the nursery.

Bespoke Bonsai Stands
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??!! 🙂

Stone Monkey Ceramics
Another trader at the weekend was Andy Pearson aka Stone Monkey Ceramics. Andy’s pots looked great. I was jumping between all the potters trying to find a pot for a Cotoneaster that I have and I was unable to get the right size and shape. [same old story] I have loads of Walsall pots and even a few Ian Baillie ones too. I decided that I wanted a Stone Money pot and the one I liked and needed the most was in the auction! I managed to get it 🙂
Don’t take my word for it, go and see how good the pots are for yourself, just click the image below.
