Greetings from sunny Cornwall U.K

I started collecting mechanical pencils a few years ago and drifted into fountain pens......... as you do. Favourite pen at the moment is a Picasso Malaga in red, a cheapy out of China. Favourite ink, Diamine umber........ as green as I get.

I'll try and contribute when and where I can, but mostly I'm here to learn. Pleased to have joined the blue finger club....... or in my case, umber.

Best wishes all, LePhare.[size="3"][/size]

Welcome LePhare to FPN. Today my fingers are blue.

Welcome, and just a bit of Private Reserve midnight blue in index finger and thumb. BTW I like your avatar. Do you know where that Lighthouse is? I used to love photographing them but mainly on the US east coast.

Welcome to the FPN. IS you username the watch or the Father Brown character or have I totally got it wrong!

Kurt

Hmm... umber, I'll have to take a look at that one again!

Welcome to FPN. Cornwall is a lovely place to be. I have a friend who lives in North Cornwall and am lucky enough to get to visit regularly.

Which part of Cornwall are you in?

Hi Pippin,
It's a pic I picked up years ago and I'm afraid I've forgotten........ an age thing!. If I find out where, I'll let you know.

Hi Kurt,

Le phare......... the lighthouse or becon. One of the very few French words I can remember from way back, and it suits, as there is always a light on in our house 24/7.

Hi misterh,

I live just outside of St. Austell, though I'm originally from S.Devon.
My mother-in-law lives just outside of Taunton........ so I advise you to stay away from there ;-)

hey there from the west country

love cornwall - been alot over the years

have lots of friends there

my fingers are woodland green today

good to have you with us - hope you enjoy

Welcome! I have a good friend who grew up in S. Devon- Exmouth. And I remember a lovely visit for a few days on the S. Cornwall coast at Treen. What a beautiful part of the world.
Gerry

Hello and welcome to FPN!!!

welcome to FPN

Hello from this Cornwall (me) to yours.

Mike Cornwall

Welcome to the forum. I shall be in Cornwall for a few days next week, so make sure you have the kettle on.

Welcome from NYC! I am glad only your fingers turn blue. In my case, when I mess up, it's both hands and whatever expensive materials happen to be in the vicinity!
