My primary school was a bit antiquated, I remember when we first started at the school we were issued these 'fountain pens' which were wooden sticks with a metal nib screwed on the end. Horrible things they were, if they weren't filled enough with ink the nibs made a scratchy mess on the paper, too much and it blotted the work. Thank goodness for the ballpen.

When I write to friends and family I do use print. Funny enough my son bought me a calligraphy set a couple of Christmases ago because he heard me say that I liked old fancy writing. I haven't got around to doing anything with it yet I must try and find some spare time to do it.
