Black Friday My Arse! Just in case anyone was tempted to ask me about "Black Friday" deals I thought, for once, I would get ahead of the game. If you know me you know what comes next so let me step aside for a moment. Here is an excerpt from an email I received this...

Littered With Contradiction
I'm on safe ground here when I say Bonsai is Littered With Contradiction. But then perhaps it's not the trees fault and it's not inherent in the programme. Nevertheless there are a lot of variables and those can throw us into confusion at times especially where an...
We’ve Got Your Back.
Just a quick update on what's been happening recently here at Kaizen Bonsai world headquarters. It's nice to know that when things are uncertain, to quote a modern idiom ' We've got your back', or at least someone has. None of us really know what's just around the...
Little Tommy Opposite
By and large I was a sullen little kid, never happier than in my own company, doing my own thing. I was hopeless at being told what to do and my mum used to call me 'little Tommy opposite'. It didn't seem to matter what my parents had to say I would want to do the...
Per Aspera Ad Astra.
Living in modern Britain is not easy. We have always been a country that lurches from one crisis to the next but at this moment it does appear we are in a state of flux. That makes us feel uneasy and the more bone idle one is the worse the feeling will be. Many have...

A Smashing Time
This week I had several tons of Bonsai pots delivered. The experience got me thinking about where we find ourselves and what to expect going forwards. If strong language offends PLEASE do not read further. If you are a bone-idle tired hands please do NOT read further....
I Got Off The Subject
I sat down to write a diatribe expounding the virtues of defoliation. As usual I got off the subject and never got back. However what follows has proven to very cathartic. Please forgive the self indulgence but rather than consign this to the folder of a thousand...
My week at Kaizen Bonsai – A Good One!
This week has been a good one. Having completed more than THREE THOUSAND orders and about TEN THOUSAND parcels since January this year we finally got it all under control and I came up for air, f***ing cold air mind but that's another subject. So, I finally decided...
The Irony of My Life.
The irony of my life just now is the fact that my bonsai business prevents me from actually doing bonsai. The less bonsai I do the more ya'll can do because you have the stuff you need. That is unless you buy it of somebody else in which case stop reading at once!...
