| Lamy Safari green fountain pen |
When the pens arrived I was struck by how lovely the shade of green was, it really reminded me of the first shoots of colour you see in spring.

| Spring green |
I tested the Safari in my notebook and found it to be just as good as my Lamy Al-Star which I have been using for the past two years. The ink flows out of the nib beautifully, I just wish my handwriting could do it justice!
The pen's body is made from tough ABS plastic and it has a lovely glossy shine to it. Like the Al-Star the Safari has the same triangular grip area and a window so you can see the ink level inside the pen without having to open it up.
You can pick up a Safari fountain pen for around £14 which is a fantastic price! The Safari is also available in a wide range of colours if green is not your thing, I have my heart set on the new dark lilac one and maybe the yellow and pink pens too! You can never have too many fountain pens right?
So, as I said, Lisa gave me a second pen to give away today, she also threw in an extra box of blue ink cartridges so you will be able to use your Safari fountain pen for ages and ages before you need to buy more ink!
To enter this giveaway all you have to do is tell me what you write when you are trying out a pen! I usually go with "hello" and my children's names. Here are the rules:
Good luck!
