My Eames Lounge Chair Tattoo

/

Eames Lounge chair. Didn't get the foot stool part as it would have wrapped around and not made sense on my arm.
It HURT. I have a whole upper tattoo sleeve but I think getting tattoos must get sorer the older you get. My tattoo artist is Chris Crooks, owner of White Dragon Tattoo, Belfast. www.facebook.com/whitedragontattoo . This is my entry into Little Greene's 20th Century Design competition.

Tea Tasting at Belfast's Suki Tea

/
I'm a standard teabag, two sugars & milk kinda girl, but thanks to today's visit to the Suki Tea HQ in Belfast, I'm ready to open up my larder to all sorts of leaves & herbs.

My son & I along with Twitter friend Rosemary joined our Tea Expert host & company founder Oscar to try out a literal world of tastes.

Oscar explained the correct preparations of the various tea types (all available on Suki Tea packaging so you can brew the leaves the way they are intended) and shared with us the journey Suki tea blends take, from Fair Trade tea farms to the teapot.

We tried liquorice infused tea, which doesn't taste at all as I imagined, you must try some for yourself when you visit www.Suki-Tea.com

Suki is sold all over the world, but one of the top sellers is good, old Belfast Brew. A strong breakfast tea that hallions like me can dunk their sugars into & swig with buttered toast.

Oscar gave me some lovely tea samples to try at home, and a very cool Suki Teapot, perfect for preparing their drinks properly. You can also buy these on www.Suki-Tea.com if you're a tea lover.
