    Default Hello from the UK!

    Hi everyone,

    I'm a long-term user of fountain pens, ever since childhood, and was astonished and delighted about 18 months ago to discover that it was "a thing". I'm a fan of Pilot (my favourite pen in my collection is a Custom Heritage 91 Soft Fine) and Lamy (I dream of one day owning a 2000, but it's a long way out of my price range!) and Diamine inks. Looking forward to chatting!

    Heh. Would you care to wager a new Lamy 2000 with a fine nib on that assertion?

    So true. Funny how you end up justifying it.
    I have a friend who is going through the same thing with drones currently. The all I need is this £30 drone is now £300 drones with headsets, battery alarms and lord knows what else. Lol
