Each year Lamy release a limited edition Safari and accompanying ink. In 2016 this was the famous Dark Lilac. Over time there have also been limited edition Studios, Scalas, and Al_Stars and this year the latter received the Charged Green finish plus a matching ink. Available in cartridges and bottles (US only ?), this did not sell well with pens still being available years later. It was 2019 or 2020 when I bought mine, with a box of five cartridges in the blister pack, from the bargain bin at my local WH Smith (UK based newsagent and stationary chain store).

Before I started to do the ink reviews I did say they were a work in progress. Now I have completed two batches, the available inks from ScriBo and the Cult Pens Diamine Flower Inks Set. I am now about to move on to others, the Monteverde Sweet Life collection (minus 2 alas) and more regular inks.

Apparently Azaleas are a sub-genus of rhododendron, being different by having smaller leaves. I had heard of both but knew little about their appearance. Coming in a large variety of colours I can see this flower being popular amongst those looking to create expressive floral collages.

I could joke that this is finally a flower I recognise, though not through my garden or me buying them, as the humble Forget Me Not can represent brotherly love, relief (charity), and truth, the three core principals of Freemasonry, my other major hobby. So will this ink be a shining beacon to me, or will I be charitable in looking through deficiencies.

daily carry, fountain pen, musings

It has been over two years since I last posted about the pens I was taking to work. February 2020. Not long before the COVID-19 pandemic started to spread with the inevitable restrictions and lock downs we still see in many parts of the world. Times changes. I went from working from home several days a week to full time with the result my pen cases went in to a drawer.

Showing my lack of horticultural knowledge, when you mention sweet pea I think of country gardens of days gone by. Little did I know that the plant actually comes from Sicily. Perhaps my imagination is correct and the plant was brought over by young English gentlemen returning from their grand tours round Europe in the 1920s to take root over here in the UK.

musings

A while back I wrote asking when we should expect nibs that work out of the box and who holds the responsibility. This is only partially a follow up, as the idea actually came out of a discussion else where, and this is on what our expectations should be with those nibs not normally associated with every day hand writing. The stub; italic; and flex nibs.
