Thought I should post and say hello. I was a sometime poster here about
3 years ago (more questions than answers of course) before we went to
live in Japan. Am now back in my (now very neglected) old garden in
Warrington: some bits have gone all jungly while others are now almost
completely bare. I look forward to getting to know you all again

Welcome back, which bit of Japan were you living in?

Right in Tokyo; it was fantastic. I had a gorgeous little Japanese
garden that I didn't dare touch! Despite it being the size of a postage
stamp, a team of 5 turned up twice a year to trim it with what looked
like nail scissors...perfection.

Yes it is. Fascinating place Japan. Spent a bit of time in the Yokohama area
back in the 1970's/80's found the hardest bit was travelling away from the
cities, as when in most countries if you know you want to go to say Paris,
its as easy to find on a map or road sign as London, but you try a group of
Japanese symbols!
