We had a lovely day at the London Flower School.

Jimmi gave a fantastic Bonsai lecture: very interesting, He brought a quite few pots which were beautiful.

I knew very little about Bonsai, but I found out it is an interesting and insightful world. There is clearly much more to discover.

There was a difficult, but very enjoyable “let’s try demonstration” of Ushiroike (arranging from behind). Five people who had not done it before all tried it and they all did very well in different ways.

We had a Japanese potluck lunch with western potluck desert: both were fantastic! I wish I had a double size stomach, each dish tasted so good.

Thank you very much to the London Flower School for helping our event.

Looking forward to having the next event!
