Hey, I'm new around these parts...

[Fiona73]

Hi, just thought I would swing by and introduce myself. My name is Fiona and I am the wrong side of 45. I have 4 kids and 6 grandkids, 1 husband and 1 dog. I am looking to expand my knowledge of all things fountain pen and make some new friends along the way.

Hi Fiona! Both sides can be equally good

Hi Fi 73 Welcome indeed.

 

I am versofolio, (Latin approx...the turned leaf/page ?!) and my little 'avatar' friend here is an etching of, "Fantails",

tiny, native New Zealand birds that I have to swat like 'midges?' because they are so friendly! 

 

I suppose I'm about as far away from your part of the world as it's possible to be on the same planet. 🙃

Yet here we are!

Good to meet you. vf

Welcome to FPN, Fiona, and greetings from California, USA where it's not fun being awake at this hour (FPN helps to mitigate that). You will meet many interesting people here, many of whom really know their stuff when it comes to fountain pens.  With regards to being on the wrong side of 45, 55, 65, etc., it's not that bad when you consider the alternative.

Hello Fiona and welcome

[Fiona73]

Hello everyone! Thank you for such a lovely welcome. This is such a wonderful place, full of more fountain pen information than I could have ever imagined! I am going to go and learn how to use the replies properly now, I think that will stand me in good stead. Hope that everyone has a lovely day 😊

Thank you Fiona, it has been a lovely Spring day which has just come to an end. Midnight! I'm off!

Welcome Fiona!  I’m on the right side of 45, passed that milestone over 20 years ago!

[Fiona73]

Goodness me, again, thank you so much everyone! I am starting to think that this side of 45 is the right side of 45 after all...

[Chimera01]

Hello from the West Country in the U.K… definitely the right side of 45!

Hello FIona! Hey, I don't think there's a wrong side on age, you lived this far and the road keeps going.

Feel proud about keeping up this far, hope we can walk together with our favorite pens. Got one already? Just be careful on this rabbit hole 😄 oberbuying inks is a thing.
