Happy new Year John and everyone!
Was up 2 weeks ago to choose my extra Hasegawa Kohaku from Dave at Migoto-koi from the 4 we narrowed it down to from Daves top pond. He is holding them until the spring for me so you can see em in the flesh if you go visit.
Better yet... plan to go up before the spring and pay a visit - maybe end of Jan beginning of Feb if weather ok... would be brilliant if we could arrange it to meet there at same time? Daves mrs just brings me coffee regular now, dont even have to keep hinting to Dave

.
Will update my thread on my visit and the choice with update pics... would love to hear what you think my mate. Those Hasegawa kohaku are really looking better and better what a bargain, and know he did them at the price that cost him money to look after his customers.
Will give a heads up nearer time and see if we can get together my mate, would love that.
