At a time when pen retailers are closing down (J M Pennifeather in Hampstead is the latest to go in England), it is a huge pleasure to find one that has opened. I was in Hay-on -Wye yesterday, a lovely town known for its dozens of secondhand bookshops, and found that a great stationery and pen shop, Bartrums (http://http://www.bartrums.co.uk/how-we-do-things-3-w.asp), has opened.
Even better, Stefan Price, who sold me a Pel 400 and some Poussiere de la Lune, is a Geek and enormously enthusiastic and knowledgeable. It was a treat talking to him and buying from him. They have a website but have more in stock than on the website, so if you're ever in that bit where England and Wales meet, pop in.
