What are the names of the scripts you used?

[Andrew_L]

I don't know:).

It's just a fantasy from my head (something about Spencerian and Gothic).

Apologies to Stompie for poorly borrowing the ampersand!

What did you borrow?

The general shape of the ampersands you use.

[Stompie]

The general shape of the ampersands you use.

 

 

I put ampersands into Google and it came up with "Ampersands Care Home" - hence my question!

[countrydirt]

I likely spelled it wrong too! I asked my wife what the & sign was called and that's what she told me. She's way smarter than me, but at least I was smart enough to marry her!

but at least I was smart enough to marry her!

 

this quote can be worth next week

She's way smarter than me, but at least I was smart enough to marry her!

That's so sweet! Make sure to tell her!

Apologies for not copying the full quote. Long week...

[Stompie]

Monday 4 June

 

But then men that live in the South Country

Are the kindest and most wise.

They get their laughter from the loud surf,

And the faith in their happy eyes

Comes surely from our Sister the Spring

When over the sea she flies;

The violets suddenly bloom at her feet,

She blesses us with surprise.

 

Hilaire Bellac

The South Country

Ughh, it shows that is was the first thing I've written today

[Stompie]

I thought that this week I would just use my everyday carry pens and also write as I do everyday.
