Hello from Durham England

Hello all.
I did try posting a more detailed entry 2 or 3 weeks ago but I think it went into a forum blackhole!
Currently,probably due to the Covid 19 lockdown,I've had the opportunity to clean up a number of pens and indulge a hobby thhat I frankly have not had time to bother with for some time.
Still, I've been using fountain pens off and on (more off than on admittedly) for 20+ years.
Recently, been experimenting with some Chinese pens, some good and some not so good, and seem to have acquired in the last 3 weeks a Lamy 2000 and a Parson's Essential (which I'll work with this week).
Seems I'm on an acquisition trail?
Take care everyone in these strange times.
Topcat666.
