Hi Guys,

Just thought i would let you all know that i have started a blog. Most of the things up there at the moment you have seen via the posts i made while i was in Japan but there may be some things/ bonsai you havent seen yet. I hope that it is a way to catalogue what i get up to in one central location so i can easily track progress of my trees (as my photo filing is horible!)

If you are interested, the address is http://nichigobonsai.wordpress.com/

Hi John,

Oh and the blog has been updated for anyone who is interested.
