On Friday I was lucky enough to have a fantastic “Bonsai day” with
Trev’n’Cyclops (aka Peter Warren & Les Storey) in sunny Ashford. Les had invited Peter along to help him with
preparation of his trees for Celebrating Kent Bonsai at the end of the month
and I was kindly invited along. As is
the norm when I’m working I didn’t take too many photos (even though I intended
to) but here’s a few of the benches and the boys getting stuck in.
With Peter doing most of the
work, Les put his Issac Hayes* hat on and treated us to Bacon Butties and a
fantastic Beef Stew with cobblers – that’s the dumplings, not Les’s banter! –
and lashings of tea throughout the day (more on that later). Unfortunately the day passed too quickly and
for me it was time to disappear, do a Wonder Woman twirl (not a pretty site!) and prepare for the evening’s
entertainment.
Overall I did manage to learn a
hell of a lot, either working on the 3 trees of my own that I took along or the
various trees that Trev worked on.
Thanks again Les and Peter for a fun day!
