Review: Nahvalur Voyage Pride 2024 Fountain Pen
As much as I’ve come to appreciate neutral pens recently, brightly coloured pens are my first loves. And so when the Nahvalur Voyage Pride 2024 pen was announced, I was immediately enchanted.

Stationery Shopping in London
Since starting in the fountain pen hobby last year, I’ve done most of my pen and ink shopping online. This is quite a niche hobby, and so most of the regular stationery stores only stock a few Lamy Safaris and a bottle or two of Parker Quink ink. So any opportunity to shop for pens… Read more

As someone who watches a lot of fountain pen YouTube videos, I’ve been really enjoying seeing all the 8 Pen Question tag videos that everyone has been doing recently (started by Seemownay and Liane Likes).
