I’ve been using fountain pens since I was at Art college, 150 years ago, when my tutor suggested I either learn to type. or try a fountain pen, as my lefty scribble was indecipherable. He told me it would slow my writing down - and he was right.

Life behind various desks was always livened up by a pen or two, mostly vintage, until I discovered modern Pilots a couple of decades ago. Now retired, and widowed, with only the cat to judge me, I am exploring inks, too. I tell my children I am leaving them a fine inheritance - but they don’t believe that either...
