We had a great day today at Blind Veterans UK Llandudno centre when I presented my pens to Sophie - Countess of Wessex. HRH talked to Evelyn then me when I presented the pens. Her pen is dressed in Yew Burr with a left hand nib which she used to sign the visitors book. She was delighted so I'm happy. Her private secretary asked for one of my pens as well so he went away happy too.
We couldn't take photos but I have some being sent to me which I will post when I get them. In the meantimes here's some of the pens & a scroll on parchment paper with a welcome message.
The first two pens are mistrals donated by Phil & the last two pens are deltas donated by Dan. Thank you guys.

Thanks for your kind comments, it was a great occasion.
I must mention Mike Kennedy who kindly donated the Yew Burr for Sophie's pen.:thumbs:

Wonderfull foresight Bill with the left handed knowledge, very happy for you what a cheeky person the private secretary and how handy you had an extra.

It was indeed an honour to meet Sophia & make & present the pens on behalf of Blind Veterans UK. They had the confidence to trust me to come up with the goods. I don't think it can get any better.:thumbs:
