Bonsai can and often will take over your life and it is good take a break once in a while to recharge your enthusiasm and to set new goals. i only hope my parents are taking care of my trees whilst I am away.

A number of my friends have been at the ASPAC event and it has made me quite jealous and long for Japan again. A few visited Taishoen and Urushibata and all aske after me making me second home sick.

It will soon be Noelanders and I hope to be travelling over there with great friends Peter Warren and Peter Snart. I hope to be putting on one shohin display and one kifu sized display.

Welcome to the blog of John Armitage. I am very sorry that i have not posted anything on here for quite some time. It’s not because i have not been up to much, quite the opposite and i much prefer to be working on bonsai than sat at a computer. I promise that I will try harder!

Take care, John

This blog provides information about my Bonsai activities and areas of Bonsai that I am involved in. There will be galleries and information about my time(s) in Japan, the BSA and my own study group. I hope that you find it interesting and check back often as I have loads of stuff to post!

Although Bonsai is not my full time job (it is my life though), I am always available for club and society events to give talks demo’s, workshops etc and will travel pretty much anywhere for bonsai. If I can be of service to your event, society or your bonsai, please get in touch.
