ML's British Birthday gifts

Yesterday was ML's birthday. We are celebrating today when freinds and family can join us.

ML is not big on cake. So I baked her a cranberry apple pie. Her favorite.


Since this is The Ink Well I should discuss pens.
I ordered her a Platignum Studio fountain pen. Mother Nature and the USPS conspired against me and it did not arrive when promised

This is an affordable pen from a British company. Here is a stock photo.


Yes I selected the blue pen.

It comes in a cool Union Jack box.


The weird/amusing (not meant in a derogatory way - I don't know his name) British youtube pen reviewer liked this pen. But ML will have to wait until Tuesday to see for herself.

In keeping with the British theme I also purchased a bottle of Diamine Turquoise ink made in the UK. The Diamine inks are a favorite brand of both of us.
