I have thought about creating a thread here to document overall work done for a while, but I on Sunday something happened to prompt me to do it. Nothing big, but something I wanted to share, the results of which last night really made me happy. In this thread I hope to post a mixture of bonsai updates, new additions, work, stylings etc along with some sort of progress reports of work I’ve managed to get done on my dutch barge restoration, which I know some people have expressed an interest in.
So, first off. I currently live on a narrowboat on the River Thames with my girlfriend and two dogs. We occupy a living space of approximately 11m x 2m (36ft x 6ft). We try and stay on top of the mess as best we can, but living alongside a river in such a small space, mess accumulates pretty quickly, much quicker than in a house. No one wants to engage in cleaning as a hobby so quite often the question arises of what I plan on doing on a given Sunday. I reply that I plan on taking the dogs on a nice long walk, then my girlfriend kicks me and the other mess makers out and she gives the boat a good once over. Shame.
This Sunday we took a trip to a local woods that the dogs and I love. It is a man made plantation with a mixture of hundred year old beeches, ash, hazel and hawthorn interspersed with individual mature oaks and 50 year old Sycamore, European larch, Norway spruce and Scots pine plantations. There is an ancient Field maple hedge Forming a boundary. So lots of variation in 87 acres.
Old Maples on the fringes
Couple of rarely seen multi trunked english oaks
Bright pink undersides of sycamore leaves in a glade
Scots Pine (bad angle) and a well used photo opportunity hazel
