Il-Ġurnata it-tajba! - a re-introduction from Malta!

[Johnny Appleseed]

Il-Ġurnata it-tajba! Hello everyone,

This is not exactly an introduction, as my first post on FPN was in April of 2005. However, I have been active on and off over the years, with some long periods when I was pretty inactive. And, almost a month ago, my family and I moved to Kalkara, on the Island of Malta, after more then three decades in Seattle, in the US. It is a lot of big changes (in climate, particularly - eating outside in February, woo hoo!).

 

Most of my collection is currently in a container, somewhere in the western Pacific, eventually en-route to the Malta freeport in  Birżebbuġa. I decided not to do a major sell-off before I left, with the hopes that the US-centric portions of my collection that I want to part with will be good trading material in Europe. Once we are settled here a bit, I am hoping to connect more with the European collector community, hopefully catching a few pen shows - maybe Barcelona, Madrid, Turin, Florence - who knows, maybe even Paris and some in the UK. And expect to see me prowling around the European forums, learning more about Aurora, Columbus, Inoxcrom, Matador, getting more Conway Stewarts and maybe even picking up a Pelikan or two. Alas, I don't think there was ever a Maltese pen company (no brands listed in the Europe forum). 

And if there are any members from Malta, I would love to connect!

(Also - how do you change your location in your profile?)
