My daughter got a stunning parent's evening report this time round so I asked her what she would like as a little present.
"A proper fountain pen with black ink, please"
She's 7 so I thought a Lamy Safari with a nice 1.5 straight chisel tip would be a good first "proper pen".
As soon as it was presented to her she wanted to have a go -
My alphabet hasn't improved with neglect and I haven't used a nib that size for many years but I think she did really well.
