Thanks Nigel - it is so changeable right now. I had a blast with Alex and i am glad i decided to take a few clips of the event. If you do ever come this way then you are more than welcome to have some hospitality in sunny Grantham. i may even let you touch some of my trees :)
You are getting closer. If you do get to my door and fancy some fun with one of my trees - just let me know...I will make sure I am not in :)@@TheBonsaiZone
Xavier this was an absolute blast to watch. So many special guest appearances as well. This makes me want to make a trip over to the Doncaster Bonsai Fair!
You two make me laugh so much. Great double act. Thank you for the mention too, greatly appreciated. I hope you didn’t hurt your knees having to bend down that much Xav! Great video 😮
It was so good to see you and I am so impressed with how you have taken this all forward as a real business. You even have the best green top as well. If you ever feel like slumming it and are down my way then feel free to drop in :)
@@XaviersBonsaiRetreat Cheers Xav. We used to holiday in Lincolnshire as it’s a lovely place. I think that’s where you live (can’t remember). I might take you up on that offer in the future. It would be lovely to see you garden, retreat and trees 😀
Loved this video‼️ Made me laugh all the way the through🤣🤣 Alex defo needs a UA-cam channel don’t you think Xav😜 Thanks for sharing mate really enjoyed it👊🏻
We are working on it but Alex has a very clear understanding of how much time this would take. He will guest more often with me as he has a few new techniques he wants to do. I have so much fun working with him.
Great Video Xav, It was great catching up with you and Alex again it was a laugh like always. P.s I speak good English😂. Thank you for the mention in your video I really appreciate it, and tell Alex wow nice rock 😂😂😜
Great footage from the show, Xav! I spotted you there and wanted to say hello, but someone else kept jumping in there first. You know too many people in the bonsai fraternity! 😂
Thanku Xav, that was THE most enjoyable bonsai show video I’ve ever seen, couldn’t be bettered, so I need never watch another! Cheers! n God bless you 🙏✝️. ✌️🇷🇺☮️🇺🇦✌️
I know a lot of the real celebrities will be going and a host of the newer youtubers too. Unfortunately I spent far too much and am now banned from leaving the house by my daughter :)
What a great video! You are usually so prim and proper. You go out in public and just spin off uncontrollably! Like a kid in a candy store, Oh look... OOoooOOoo look at that... Oooo a pot, oooo a lemon! I'm bored. OoooOOoo look at those! Hahhahaha!!! Also, your money over there always sounds like it is really heavy. Great buys Xavier! The oval and that painted pot are really nice. The forest will look fantastic!
Cheers Marysol - I am just how you see! I get bored lookingat bonsai but love yapping with people. this year i didnt want to video because I wanted to try and pick up some of the tree bargains. Did that happen - NUP. I just got a sore throat from talking too much :)
@@XaviersBonsaiRetreat Haha! Well I enjoyed it! I'm almost the same way.I hate going out, hate crowds, but I'll get out there, find someone I know and talk for an hour till the people I know avoid me for another year. I get hyper because I have no clue how to properly socialize. Somewhat feral. I start spewing puns and dirty jokes. Oops...
It seems to get bigger each time I go Roger. I think it is still a better place for bargains on trees and pots. Northern prices are still within normal budgets...just :)
The English weather is perfect for this event! A very fun video!

I'll be there Xavier, I'm coming down for the Trophy show in Belgium!!!@@XaviersBonsaiRetreat
You are getting closer. If you do get to my door and fancy some fun with one of my trees - just let me know...I will make sure I am not in :)@@TheBonsaiZone
Thanks for the tour Xavier !
My pleasure and hopefully it wasn't too light hearted. I will leave detailed videos on the display trees to someone else I think :)
What a brilliant day you both had, thanks for showing us around. Really enjoyed it.. TY
It was a great day and Alex and i always have a bit of a laugh too. He kept me well fed :)
Lots of fun! Thx!
Grts
Kennet
It was a great day Kennet :)
Xavier this was an absolute blast to watch. So many special guest appearances as well. This makes me want to make a trip over to the Doncaster Bonsai Fair!
You would love the experience and you could even sell your root rakes :)
You two make me laugh so much. Great double act. Thank you for the mention too, greatly appreciated.
I hope you didn’t hurt your knees having to bend down that much Xav!
Great video 😮

Great tour, fun video 😁 good to see all Bonsai friends
It was a great day Gerardo and always fun to chat with people.
Just rewatching this after yesterday’s event 👍
You are far too kind to me Jason :0 I watched it again as well just to see the difference in venue size etc...
Great video xav cool to see everyone
Like the pots.
And tell Alex that was a nice rock 😂😂
He sure knows how to 'pick up' a bargain :)
Great video. Looked like an awesome show!
Very busy and loads of stalls but still not so 'up market' that you felt you couldn't have a good 'root around' :)
Loved this! Looked like a fun day out! 😄
I lost my voice talking too much. Loads of fun :)
It really was an awesome day mate! Thank you for driving us 💪👍 I'm already excited for the next trip. Brilliant footage
Always fun when you are about Alex.
Wish I could have got over to see what looks like a fantastic show ..
The display side was small but had some great trees. The best bit was all of the seperate bonsai stalls - so much to look at :)
Your weather is awesome!!😮
Howling gales and then a spot of sun before unexpected thunderous showers. Love it...especially for the washing line dash!!
@@XaviersBonsaiRetreat just like Melbourne!!
Loved this video‼️
Made me laugh all the way the through🤣🤣
Alex defo needs a UA-cam channel don’t you think Xav😜
Thanks for sharing mate really enjoyed it👊🏻
We are working on it but Alex has a very clear understanding of how much time this would take. He will guest more often with me as he has a few new techniques he wants to do. I have so much fun working with him.
@@XaviersBonsaiRetreat that’ll be awesome mate
Can’t wait to get up and visit you both
Maybe a collaboration in the pipeline🤷🏼♂️
@@D.RBonsai4601 I would happily let you go to town on one of my trees. I still have a few older unstyled trees...
@@XaviersBonsaiRetreat we’ll definitely sort out a visit next yr my friend
I look forward to it👍🏻
Looks like a blast. Cheers from Ojai California
My pleasure Jason - the only reason i filmed was because Jason Hanrahan was on holiday. He normally covers it on his channel :)
I thought Alex was gonna go for your neck at 50 seconds.😂😂😂
Looking back - I think you might be right Andrew :)
Great Video Xav, It was great catching up with you and Alex again it was a laugh like always. P.s I speak good English😂. Thank you for the mention in your video I really appreciate it, and tell Alex wow nice rock 😂😂😜
That rock was a prize moment for me. It was great seeing you too. that is a nice privet.
Great footage from the show, Xav! I spotted you there and wanted to say hello, but someone else kept jumping in there first. You know too many people in the bonsai fraternity! 😂
I'm gutted - you should just push in or gently kick me in the ankle. I would have loved to chat :)
@@XaviersBonsaiRetreat Haha. Okay, I'll bear that in mind at the next one! 👍
Thanks for sharing the event for us who couldn’t be there 😊 very entertaining vid Xav thank you - what were the tray of saplings that Alex bought? 💚
They were Tridents. Cheers Jonas
The intro 😅😂😂
I definitely got some strange looks from people queueing up :)
Would love to check this out in person!❤
You would need to make sure you have had all your shots first - we can't risk catching anything nasty :)
@expressionsofgracebonsai if I could leave a voice message here I would be scathing!!!
Thanku Xav, that was THE most enjoyable bonsai show video I’ve ever seen, couldn’t be bettered, so I need never watch another! Cheers! n God bless you 🙏✝️. ✌️🇷🇺☮️🇺🇦✌️
Knock me down Gaye - thank you very much. I liked the bit when I said I was too bored to film anymore of the display trees :)
Yup! LEGEND! 😘
Looking good, great to see the celebrities 🍺🍺 Is anyone going to Heathrow on Sunday?
I know a lot of the real celebrities will be going and a host of the newer youtubers too. Unfortunately I spent far too much and am now banned from leaving the house by my daughter :)
@@XaviersBonsaiRetreat mate you gotta sneak out, maybe Alex will buy some of your rocks beforehand for some extra pocket money 🤣🤣
Don’t drive off with those pots on the van roof!!!
Ps. Has Alex gone ginger?
I have done that twice before already - not pretty! Call it emerging strawberry blonde :)
@@XaviersBonsaiRetreatthanks for this Xav, it was a lot of fun
Wished i could have made it.
Even my misses watched this and laughed lol
Catch up soon 😊
Looked a great show I am off to Heathrow show this Sunday with the club I just joined
It was a great day Paddy and I am certain Billy would have had fun.
Have a great day - I am banned from spending any money at the moment so will be stuck at home.
Yes Billy is planning is next videos. And asked if we can go next time.
He liked the stone lol. Said he has lots for sale 😆 🤣 x
nice video ❤🌳
Thanks

Looks like a good time was had..... (Too far North for me.)
It seems to get bigger each time I go Roger. I think it is still a better place for bargains on trees and pots. Northern prices are still within normal budgets...just :)
thats an awesome rock
As I told Alex - you get what you pay for :)
👏👏👏 Just to get you used to it. 😘
What the clap or the kisses 🥰
@@XaviersBonsaiRetreat It’s all about the balance ☝️😘
thats a beautiful pot
Thanks and i really hope it suits the oak forest :)
I saw a program where jeremy clarkson goes on a visit to scotland and he takes an interpreter with...😅😅
Officially I shouldn't laugh but... (I just coughed my cereale all over the keyboard) :)
LOL!!!
You can see I get bored with displays far too quickly :)
👍👌🙂
Thanks as always Bruce :)
G’day Xav lol
Cheers Scott - all done in the best possible taste :)
@@XaviersBonsaiRetreat wish I had been in a more talkative mood 😂 lol
@@LetsDoBonsai save it all for when you visit. But at least you know what to expect 😉
@@XaviersBonsaiRetreat haha I think I’ve known for a while!! Keep it up!!
Gutted I was I work.... but saved me some money not going
I wish I had been at work - I spent far too much again!
First yippee watching now xav
Enjoy Andy :)
It really was an awesome day mate! Thank you for driving us 💪👍 I'm already excited for the next trip. Brilliant footage
Ditto
Good luck with the trees, Alex.
