I know. It is nearly Easter, but I forgot to upload a picture of my Christmas envelopes for 2025. This might be my last set of calligraphy Christmas cards because I struggle to write with my pointed nibs now. I think it’s my eyes – they’ve become more long-sighted over the years making my writing position awkward and ineffective. Plus, I can’t see what I’m doing anymore! Not even varifocals help. Ack. And after a session of calligraphy I am grumpier than a fried Orchid on a dusty windowsill – not relaxed, or happy with anything I’ve written. So, I think that’s enough with it.

Hopefully in a couple of hours this post will restore Mr Devine’s blog to normality.
