Old-fashioned Post

I remember a Reverend who would write correspondence daily after lunch. It could be a quick one or two lines, but he would still write. I try to practise that habit with email, but I think actual writing is more satisfying.

Last week, I sent off a few postcards (all in envelopes) to three separate continents. I like the idea of people receiving hand written notes and cards in the post. I'm amused by the fact that I could have sent emails to all but one of the recipients.

I also ordered some Waterman Havana and a new converter for my Parker 75 from The Writing Desk. Both arrived in a little box marked 'Fragile' on Saturday. I think I'll be writing more, now I have this plush brown.

I love getting letters in the mail, but no one really sends them anymore...I think that is great, that you took time to write those postcards. I have some stationary waiting, and have been planning to write some old-fashioned letters for...months. You insipre me to make time for it. New writing tools do help too, huh?

I am a sucker for pens and paper. I'm one of those annoying people who goes around the stationery store feeling all the paper before deciding what to buy.

I think a nice feeling pen and a pleasing ink certainly help stimulate writing.
