Hello again
I thought I'd dip my toe in the water that is bonsaiTALK once again.
Seems like quite a bit has changed since my last real participation, members have come and gone, a panel of moderators (with a sometimes unenviable task) has been installed, new features have been added to the forum and I've noticed at least one feature has gone. During my absence from bT I tried another hobby. I have a small 7" lathe in my shed, so I tinkered away, designing and machining, totally disinterested in bonsai to the point of letting my Japanese kashima maple go crispy  . I must say that I became greatly disenfranchised with bonsai. For months now I have been thinking that I would sell my collection in the spring of 2006, but then I picked up a book that had some beautiful pictures of massive gnarly old English oaks and my mind started wadering towards that fat chinese languishing on my faded and neglected bonsai bench.So here I am again, interested in bonsai thanks to the beauty of the English landscape. Regards, Chris / Treebeard.

Welcome back!
 So good to see you again Mr. Treebeard. I'm glad your old oaks can inspire you still, as the pictures of them you've shared with us have been a great inspiration to me. Your miniature re-creations of English counrtyside scenes are also quite inspiring. I missed you, friend. pootsie |

Hi Joanie, Andrew, Jay, Pootsie, Ron, Paul,
Thanks for the welcome back. It feels kind of strange posting again...  I had a load of photos of another model village to post, some very nice miniature trees and scenes, but it appears I have deleted them all in error  Regards, Chris.

Hello Chris,
Welcome back !  Glad you found the inspiration to re-kindle your interest in Bonsai. Hopefully, being part of the "family" here again will help consolidate that and we look forward to your valued input. Best Wishes, Ian. |
