IMPORTANT VISITOR INFORMATION

 

Earlier this week we heard that the Cambridge Half Marathon is being run in Cambridge on Sunday and the course runs around the show venue hotel!! Also Trumpington Street which is the access road to Mill Lane and Granta Place will be closed to Traffic vehicle traffic between 0600hrs and 1300hrs. However all car parks in Cambridge will be open and the Cambridge Park and Ride service is excellent so it isn't such a problem as we first thought. On the upside not only will you be able to see more pens than your brain can cope with - you can also watch a half marathon race!!

 

Looking forward to seeing you all on Sunday.

Well all packed and ready to hit the road, looking forward to a night out in Cambridge with good friends, good food and of course - good wine!

 

Then a long busy day at the Eastern Pen Show tomorrow, hope to meet some of you there.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
