Dear Jan,

I'm flattered that you remember the time we met at the McCanns' here in the UK. Thanks to you and Dick for your kind comments too. Our little study group's website that you mentioned is updated every Friday, so do drop by once in a while.
Bonsai is still a key part of the Japan experience for Ritta and I, and our annual trips to Japan in the fall are as much about Bonsai and Japanese friends as they are about Koi.
It will be repotting time here any week now !
