Call me Andy. Some decades ago - never mind how many precisely - having little or no money in my purse and nothing particular to interest me otherwise, I thought I would acquire a fountain pen and see the inky part of the world.
So much for the pastiche. :) I'm not a collector, but vintage pens with small flexible nibs make me happy. So do interesting inks and nice paper. This seems to be a friendly place, I look forward to joining in.

Welcome to the fold!
It appears everyone else is still asleep on this side of the pond! :lazy:

Not a collector? That's what they all say at first. ;) Sounds like you are in the right company here.
I am a fan of the novels of the late Reginald Hill, whose writing always makes me want to go to Yorkshire. (Wait! he wrote about an "Andy" . . .)

Haha! No, I think it's under control for the time being. So long as nobody dangles a mottled hard rubber Waterman in front of me ... :)

Ummm...you do know that in decorating anything in a group of three or more is considered a collection? By that standard I'd guess everyone here would fall into the category of collector. :)

Wow, rigorous criteria! Okay, guilty but unrepentant. :)

I have a collection of children, then. But thankfully I am a mere dabbler in dogs. Pens and inks: over the top.
Welcome to you, Andy.

Thanks for the warm welcome! We've just started to dabble in grandchildren. :)
