Lots of news from Tees Zine Fest. We have another event for 2025, this time in Redcar to tie in nicely with the work we’ve been doing with local LGBTQ+ group Skittles and Halloween (of course). Our FrankenZine Mini Zine Fest happens on the Sat 25th October at Redcar Literary Institute from 1-6pm
There’ll be some of regular Zine makers and some new faces, including members of the Skittles Youth Group we worked with before the Summer as well as the Zine Library, Community Table and Workshops. We’ll also be doing some seasonal drinks and treats!
The Zine project with Skittles was funded by Tees Valley Museums and we worked in collaboration with Kirkleatham Museum. I worked weekly with friend and regular collaborator Wade Radford the fantastic zine and filmmaker and poet. It culminated in a show of the young people’s Zines and the film Wade made with them at the ground floor gallery space at the museum, and also included some histories of people from the LGBTQIA+ community from Teesside.
I’ve also been working with Wade supporting his film work, there’ll be more on that as it’s released
Funding News
We’re happy to say our Tees Zine Fest CIC has now been granted further funding, this time from Woodsmith Foundation. This enables us to further work with the young people in Redcar on the run up to the Zine Fest.
On top of this, Rumana of Bok Bok Books and I applied for and were finally successful in an bid from the Arts Council (after a couple of goes) for our ‘What’s in my Suitcase’ Project. We’ll be back with the Desi Blitz truck Painted Bus at events and schools across Teesside starting late September including Festival of Thrift and Middlesbrough Arts Week.
Flavoursome Workshops
I’ve been back to doing tea workshops recently, working with Hartlepool Museums. Alongside Rumana and Indi we had the unusual experience of doing workshops in and around a historic ship at the Hartlepool Royal Navy museum and I got to do tea blending in the captain’s cabin of the HMS Trincomalee. This was a bit of a full circle moment for me, as a 16 yr old my then Hartlepool resident boyfriend worked on the ship on a YTS scheme!
The work has also taken me to the Salaam Centre in Hartlepool, a great community centre in the heart of one of the more diverse parts of the town, and I got to work with people who had come to our area from across the world as we talked tea traditions and memories and blended teas to take home.
The next few months I’ll continue to work with the Hartlepool Museum Service, this time in the NHS hospital in the town. my other upcoming workshops include Colourful Blackout Poetry and Life Drawing ( not me as the model luckily) for Pimms and Needles lots of bits and bobs of workshops and consultancy work and planning for the Christmas Markets. Busy… very busy!
It’s been such a busy autumn but nothing is a busy as the two months before Christmas if you’re someone who does stalls – in the meantime I’ll take you back to what I’ve done over the last couple of months and we have to start with Beamish ..
After my residency at Beamish last year with the One Suitcase’ Project, I’d been asked alongside my friends and collaborators Rumana of Bok Bok Books and Indi from Desi Blitz to take part in a South Asian ‘Migration Day’ Takeover with our ‘What’s in your suitcase project.
We met Indi and his fabulous Truck Painted Bus at the venue and got ready, dressing Rose Cottage where I was based, ready to chat to visitors and record them and Indi was serving homemade Samosas, the Welfare Hall where Rumana was telling South Asian based children’s stories and the Cinema, which was playing Indi’s Partition film. We were joined by an amazing South Asian dance group and a dementia group which works with people from the community in South Shields.
We all dressed the part – all three of us wearing traditional SA dress Rumana and I ware spoilt by having our hair done in the 1950s Hairdressers. – It was a fantastically busy day and we absolutely loved the colour, sounds and smells that had been added too the traditional 50s town, plus as always the staff were fabulous! I managed to record and edit quite a few pieces ready to be added to the Beamish archive – what an epic day with THE BEST people !
Zines in Hartlepool and Sunderland
We popped up at The Central Hub in Hartlepool for a mini Zine Fest! I was asked by Hartlepool Council with funds from Arts Council England to run this fab little zine fest as a way of getting younger people into the venue which is also the Central Library.
As always zine tests attract the best stallholders, kind, caring and sharing and we spent the day becoming even more of a collective than we had at the last event . The range of work was amazing and it was great to tell visitors about zines and zinemaking , especially as a way of sharing community specific information and passions.
Then last week it was over to Sunderland to run a Zine Making class at Hills Arts Centre right in the Centre of town – organised by the amazing Michaela (and the only fellow Michaela I know) of Pink Collar Gallery– through Norfolk Street Arts Heritage Fund. I love a zine workshop because everyone can make a zine and it can literally be about anything you like… as a starting point we had thoughts about Sunderland then and now , but the work produced really did pick up on personal emotions and memories around experiences of living and working in the city. Zines can do all that ..
Tattoo Photography with Emma Vynokurova
Emma is a photographer displaced from Ukraine and now living in Newcastle. a friend sent me info about a tattoo photography project Emma was doing, recording people who had tattoos with a meaning, and Emma agreed to photograph me in her studio after hearing about my ink.
My tattoos, like much in my life reflect my memories of my Nana and her influence on me, especially on being a tea purveyor. Emmas project looks as these stories and links them through her ‘Pritani’ project (Pritani being the original name of Britain, and meaning ‘Painted Ones’ in old Celtic.
I spent a good few hours with the wonderful Emma, learned of her flight with her daughter from Ukraine as a result of the war, and her story in Newcastle so far, first with a sponsor in their home and now with her own home, and having to start again after giving up a successful career in Events in her home country .
Emma really understood where my tattoos where influenced by my Nana and the images , later part of an exhibition were beautiful. Can’t wait to see Emma again as we got on famously!
Anyone who knows me well knows that I’m really interested in genealogy, partly because I wanted to know how and why my Maternal Grandmother was born in Middlesbrough, and how I came to also be born there. It’ll be no surprise to people who live around Middlesbrough when I say my relatives came to the town from Ireland, in my case via Liverpool.
My great grandad Henry Healy worked all over the UK wherever there was unskilled work, from Middlesbrough and Sunderland to Kent, but the last place he lived with his children was Lower East Street in what is known as St Hilda’s, but I always knew as ’Over The Border’ in the area between Middlesbrough Station and the river Tees. This was where the original Middlesbrough grew in the early 1800s from a simple fam to the ’Ironopolis’ – the centre of UK iron production needed to build the world’s bridges and railways as the Industrial Revolution changed industry forever.
I was more surprised to find my Great great grandad on my Dad’s side had lived in Lower Gosford Street, across the road from my previous employer, and recently that my Husband’s 4 times Great Grandad lived in Middlesbrough after running a Jet Ornament business in Whitby, with 8 employees and a shop on Church Street ( this shop still exists although as a different business).Bearing in mind he was rural Kent born and bred, this was quite a surprise.
So I think if you know anything about Teesside, you know it’s an area built on Immigration. After the Industrial Revolution the next big influx of immigration came after WW2 when we were desperate for workers so sent out the call far and wide to all the ex ’Empire” (by this time, rebranded as Commonwealth) countries to extend the hand of welcome. It wasn’t really like that when people arrived unfortunately, and for some, whatever welcome there was didn’t last very long.
More recently, Middlesbrough and Teesside have become a dispersal area for Asylum seekers, this time because there is an abundance of cheap housing which the companies given the contracts from the government make much use of. Needless to say this is a story on repeat.
I’ve always found it strange, then that anyone in Middlesbrough would be anti immigration. The town simply wouldn’t exist without Immigrants, and to tie in with what was happening in London between 1950 and 1970 which we know more about, including the Windrush arrival, and subsequent more recent scandal of people being sent back to places they’ve hardly, or never lived, I really wanted to get my teeth into what happened here., and be the artist again. Taking inspiration from what I discover to create works for Middlesbrough Art weekender in 2023 and an installation in Kirkleatham Museum in June next year, as well as activity at this year’s Middlesbrough Mela and Festival of Thrift.
SO here’s some info about the project… if you know anyone who might like to be involved, do message me.
I’m looking to speak to and record the discussion with people about either their experiences of leaving their mother country and landing in England / Teesside. This project concentrates on people who came / whose parents came here 1950 and 1970 Also I’d like to chat to people whose heritage is more local about how they would feel if they had to leave for another place. Our discussion will be mostly about what people brought to remind them of home, what they would bring if they had to leave for a place with a different culture that they could fit in one suitcase – but also including less tangible items such as sounds and smells. We’ll be looking at expectations and realities of migration, and what people feel the welcome would be in in new place . The discussions will be saved and documented, and I will use excerpts as a piece of art I am making for Middlesbrough Art weekender, and an exhibition in Kirkleatham museum, both next year. All discussions can be as private / anonymous as required and interviewees will have the option of having their photograph taken. I am also looking for people interested in being further involved in influencing the project.
FURTHER INFORMATION: Miki Rogers is an artist and community worker who was born in Middlesbrough working in community led arts for the last 15 years She brought up her family on Teesside, though her heritage is from Irish immigration into Middlesbrough in the late 1800s and early 1900s. The towns of Stockton and Middlesbrough have a long story of immigration due to access from the River Tees which originally welcomed ships to both towns, and the industries around Teesside expanding at a rate which local workers could not fill. Teesside more recently has become a dispersal area for people seeking asylum. The project investigates what happened here on Teesside at the same time the Windrush and further transport was bringing in Jamaican workers to London, between the 1950s and 1970s and we’re interested in people who came to Teesside from abroad during this time or whose parents did, especially where the culture here differed noticeably from their homeland. We know people came to fill our need for workers for the Shipbuilding, Steel and Chemical industries, with the promise that their inclusion as part of the Commonwealth would allow a welcome here. More recently we have seen the mass exodus of people from Ukraine, and this has brought Immigration, asylum and migration into sharp focus for many people. Interviews will form part of a work which will be exhibited as part of Middlesbrough Art weekender, and at Kirkleatham Museum through the Festival of Thrift, and there will be an element of creative response to the interviews by local young creatives, as well as a piece of sound art using the Oral History recordings which will play during the Kirkleatham and old suitcases, exploring what people did, and would put in that suitcase…
What did you do over the Jubilee weekend? I have to admit to not being particularly royalist, especially as I’ve been married to an old punk musician for the last 27 yrs…but I knew that the Platinum Jubilee weekend or ’Platty Jubes’ as I heard some people jokingly call it was, in fact going to create a great opportunity for communities to get together and work on their ’community-ness’, and there was some money being made available for this very thing!
With this in mind, I was so happy to be asked to be part of the team working on the East Cleveland Big Jubilee festival, particularly as it’s based in my corner of the world.
I worked with the wonderful Jo and a group of committed community champions who had set out a vision of village togetherness across East Cleveland, plus a dance spectacular on the Jetty at Skinningrove. We got the funding 7 weeks before the event so we had A LOT to do, but we made it! 8 village halls decorated and providing exhibitions and activity, an oral history element, a bus tour and the promised dance on the jetty!
What a joy!
Here’s a little snapshot of some of the activity …
Thanks to all the villages, Arts Council England, Big Local, County Durham community
Pimms and Needles
In between all this flurry of activity, I’ve been doing workshops for the fabulous women’s befriending and creative group Pimms and Needles.
Founders Donna and Charlotte set up the first group in and around Darlington, when they realised there was a space for women to find friendship and fun and new experiences which had traditionally been taken by the WI and other organisations, but where they could share tea, cake and the odd glass of wine!
Pimms and needles now run 20+ groups across the Tees Valley, Co Durham and N Yorkshire, as well as free ’Silvers’ groups for women experiencing isolation and those over retirement age.
I got involved at the beginning of 2022, doing tea workshops with just about every group, and now i’m hist of the Redcar group !
See their website below to join and see some of the amazing activity which includes Life Drawing, mosaic and watercolours, and even Burlesque!
It’s been a really long time since I posted and mostly that’s because things have changed. (A bit more about that in a minute).
Time, though has been very much on my mind of late as I’ve reached a landmark year in my life. I don’t feel the need to say which one, but to help, I’ll give you some facts from my birth year: An Iconic Beatles album was released, it had been a year since England won the World Cup, the UK’s first Shopping Mall was built, and Noel Gallagher, Mark Llamarr, and Davina McCall were born (so I’m in good company).
Sargent Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band
It’s been a real thinking time, though. I have days when I’ve been less warrior and more worrier, and my overthinking brain has taken over, so getting to at least half-way in my life had given me plenty of food for thought (too much). By the time I got to my birthday, though, after an amazing, funny, dance and laughter filled party with those closest to me, I shook my head and made some decisions:
Living fully hasn’t passed me by, and there are loads of fun times to be had yet.
Life is too short to waste angsting about how short life is.
If I care so much about how long I have, I’d probably better look after the body I inhabit.
I feel I’m over it, at least for the next 10 years.
So – time.. Now a good amount of time has passed since we last conversed. It’s a year since I last posted (God, how could that…. Stop right there! That’s how you got into the angsty time thing mentioned above) Anyway it has, and I’m sure you’ve all been having as much fun as me, and I have certainly had some serious life changes:
We bought a house, my son left home and went to Uni, I left my shop.
We’ll skip past the first one quickly – So I’ve now got an amazing Edwardian town house in the lovely Guisborough. I’ve filled it with colour already, and I’m so chuffed with it it’s probably worthy of it’s own post.
The Grand Arcade, Leeds
My son is doing Music Tech at Uni in Leeds. Like his Sister and Dad, he has the music gene, except he also has a good dollop of my techy nerdiness, so this is a good thing. He’s been there a year, has a fab house now and loves the whole Leeds vibe. Yet another post I think, especially on Leeds where I spend more time now than I expected to! I absolutely went through the whole empty nest thing, and I have to admit it took a real effort to get used to not having him around (especially our cups of tea and chat late on when his dad and sister have gone to bed) but he’s doing brilliantly and I’m chuffed for him.
And then I left the shop I shared with the 4 other wonderful ladies in Guisborough, and it’s simply about time…
So, for those who don’t know, most of my days are spent in my work as Projects Officer for an arts charity, so I’m there 4 days, and it’s an amazing role, bringing me in touch with some of the most fantastic interesting people. On top of that there are markets and shops to work with; No.30 Westgate in Guisborough now stocking a blend I madewith them as well as Preston Park Museum who I’ve developed new Teesmade teas with in collaboration with River Tees Rediscovered.
Crafts in the Pen, Skipton
There are workshops and bigger events – The Festival of Thrift on the horizon, and even Christmas Markets to think about. I’ve been accepted for Crafts in the Pen too, and I couldn’t be happier. There are lots of things to make and do!
I get asked constantly how I fit it all in and I honestly don’t know, but I do know that trying to manage everything with a Chronic Pain illness, mean things don’t always get done as they should, and when that happens, something has to give.
So it was a hard decision to leave the fabulous Maison Belle and my fellow Belles there, and I wish the ladies all the love and luck in the world, but I’m off to packet up some tea…
It’s that time of the year again! My favourite yearly event rolls into town, and this time it’s almost on our doorstep, in the neighbouring town of Redcar.
The Festival of thrift was devised and began three years ago as a collaboration between a local business man (who just happened to own Lingfield Point, the funkiest industrial estate you’ve ever seen) and retro genius, designer and Red or Dead owner Wayne Hemingway. I visited in year 1, met one of my now closest friends who had a stall (hello Jane) and was totally won over by it all. Finally something totally up my street had arrived in the Tees Valley!
Year 1 brought 17,000 visitors and I knew at the end of the two days I just had to be part of the next one. A year passed, and in year two I was there with my stall, and my book classes, with 40,000 visitors, my friends Geraldine and Abi selling too, and the lovely ladies from the Bobbin Shed (at the time artists in residence at Lingfield Point) as well as hundreds of stalls, classes activities and loads of shows. In year 3 the visitors had topped 45,000.

This year there’s been a change. The fab F0T people have decided to move the event and bring it to Kirkleatham, on the edge of seaside town Redcar. Kirkleatham is what remains of the village that surrounded Kirkleatham hall and is a hidden gem of gorgeous homes, a stunning little church and buildings which now serve as a Museum, almshouses and a bird sanctuary.
I’ll be doing a new thrifty ‘Mini-screenprinting’ class, suitable for those aged 14+, which can be booked here, and will be selling on my stall with the help of my children George and Sadie. To find out more about this fab event which comes our way on 17-18 September, click here.
Discovering Berlin
This Summer we visited Berlin. In September my son will be off on a new adventure, starting Uni in Leeds, so this one was a special ‘last time we’ll all live together’ holiday.
Thoughts: amazing laid back city, creative as could be with plenty to see and do. SAFE, even at night, everyone is laid back and pace is slow. Rush hour still isn’t packed and S & U Bahn trains are clean and efficient – go by tram if you want to see the place..
Loads of graffiti on everything! Everyone lives in a flat, has a bike and a bottle of beer. Police are calm even if there’s been a spectacular accident (which we observed). If you try to speak German you’ll probably find the person you’re talking to is Australian.
There are urban beaches all over ( you need to find them) and a swimming pool in the river. You can tour the city on a hired bike, on a Trabant tour, in a mini-dragracer, in a horse and carriage, or on a London Bus. Sit outside and eat, take in the atmosphere in Kreuzberg or Friedrichshain (where we stayed) in E Berlin. Do a river trip in Moby Dick and wonder at the modernist government buildings around the Reichstag. Visit the old Jewish quarter of Scheunenviertel with its galleries, gorgeous old buildings and the labyrinth of independent shops in the Hackescher Markt
If you go, go on a Sunday when all the amazing flea markets in the east of the city are on. If you miss that, then every Tuesday there’s a fabulous Turkish market in Neukoelln, full of gorgeous eastern food, fabrics, jewellery and sounds. … Wonderful.
Whole lot of Rosie Update
The life of a creative is never smooth, but always interesting!
In-between my job at TeesValley Arts, our shop, the markets and events, somewhere there is a creative / foodie business. So – how far have I got with the update of my tea brand? I have the new name, domain name, and email address sorted, and next has been the logo and labels.
Summer is always busy, I try and fit spending time with my children between all this and there are holidays to be had (see above) as well as events to prep for, but I’ve got back to the drawing board (literally) and made myself everything I need.
New name, labels in hand, some images to take next and we will be off! Whole lot of Rosie teas will be here soon, with a new site where you can look and buy.
So – if you know me, you’ll know that I am always up to something or other. I find that throwing myself into a challenge is the best sort of therapy there is (I have some experience of therapy, I know these things).
I’m a pragmatic person, and don’t believe that your luck is made by, well, luck as it goes! I personally think it’s a combination of continuing to work at it, seeing everything as an opportunity, and being able to adapt when things don’t work out.
Now I can’t say that that has made me a multi millionaire, but the age I am now, I’m quite clear about what I want in life and what makes me happy, and though being a multi-millionaire in its-self is, I’m sure, a great goal for some it’s not mine. What I’ve searched for in life are a few things.
To be able to work with vulnerable people (I knew this from working with children as a Primary School Teacher) I am able to do through my role at Tees Valley Arts, and the workshops I do too.
Have opportunities and outlets for being creative. This sounds more simple than it is. I have what I have heard called a ‘portfolio career’ so I make my way in life with some paid work from different sources, from some selling, some workshops and whatever else comes up. This doesn’t leave a lot of time for the creative stuff, so any time I have to make is precious.
Having freedom (see above). I am really fortunate – I do have some days which I’m tied to in the week, but have loads of wriggle room, and I try to keep a day I can use for me/swapping/workshops, which works really well. Having freedom is a vital part of what I do, and as I am a long term Fibromyalgia sufferer, means if I need to I can use that one day to recharge – sometimes that means a day in bed.
Working with and helping others. I love working in out team at the shop. It means the world to me, likewise our market and Saltburn Farmers’ Market. I am part of these mini-communities, and within each one are people who inspire, support and are brilliant fun! At TVA I’ve recently written research on how we can support our local Arts and Makers communities, so more on that as it progresses.
There’s always something happening. You have to talk to lots of people, keep your eyes open, separate the real opportunities from those which will distract you from where you want to go (I have learned that not every opportunity is worth seeking further.) Some, however do seem to have dropped in your lap from who knows where… Keeping your eyes open and the conversations gong sometimes really pays off.
A Change at Tea Corner
All this talk of opportunity, and I can’t yet tell you about the one that really has been dropped at my lap, but can say that something exciting is in the offing, and it’s where my teas and a major local tourist attraction meet…. I’ll leave that with you for now.
So, there will be some changes. I made a decision a while ago, based on where the tea sales were going and who was buying my tea, to have a bit of a shake up.
The main changes I made were based on the buying demographic. Many of my buyers are men, yet I sell a brand of tea labelled in what I consider to be a somewhat female manner, and have wanted to make a change to this for some time.
I didn’t want to throw out the baby with the bathwater, but have decided to rename the tea brand, away from Ruby and Blue. So it will very soon be called Taaadaaadaaaaa…..
Whole Lot Of Rosie Teas.
I love the song ‘Whole Lotta Rosie’ by AC-DC. I suppose I identify with the lyrics. It’s sort of flattering in a round about sledgehammer way, written in 1977 when feminism played no part in rock music but tells of a love of an ample lady (such as me!)
Wanna tell you story About woman I know When it comes to lovin’ She steals the show She ain’t exactly pretty Ain’t exactly small Fourt’two thirt’ninefiftysix You could say she’s got it all
Labels will change too – less of the flowers and more of the plain cups of tea.. still hand-drawn by me. I won’t be taking away my personal touch. The new website and FB pages will have less of a female lilt. I’m going for a mid-century feel.
Gosh! It has been a while since I posted on here, but SO much has happened! Will tell you more at the end, as I do a little recap of the year!
Let’s start with a little Rosy Lea. As you know if you follow my of my blog, my love of all things tea has led to me starting my own Ruby and Blue Tea brand, with a nice little range for sale in Maison Belle, and soon to be for sale in two cafes, one in Redcar and one in Chaloner Street, Guisborough. My latest tea for the tasting, I have actually called ‘Rosie Lea’ after the Cockney rhyming slang for tea. It’s a gorgeous blend of rose buds and petals from Tuscany, which can be drunk as a tea on it’s own or added to your favourite leaf tea to make your own blend. I’ll very soon be able to give you the whole lowdown on the available teas on my dedicated tea page, but for now, I’ve added all the details of this delightful and refreshing tea. To go with, I’ll be making some rose inspired makes for the shop, and will have pics as soon as they’re done.
Over the years, I’ve done lots of classes of all types with all ages, and I particularly enjoy the classes I’ve run at Leven Crafts, because I love the space and the ladies on the shop, Ruth and Lorna are two of the most delightful and supportive people I have met. Happily I can report that from February 2014, I’ll now be running a weekly class, which will run Tuesday evenings in school term-time from 7- 9, and my great friend Geraldine will be doing them with me too. Here’s the poster with all the info and further details of exactly what’s running can be found here.
After successfully selling some little bits and bobs in gorgeous Guisborough shop Maison Belle, I’ve been asked by the wonderful owner Laura to have a more substantial presence there.
So, from 11th Oct I’ll be one of the ‘Maison Belles’ The four artists she has asked to join her in the shop. Not only will we be retailing alongside Laura’s own stock and work, you might just find us in there holding the fort!
With me and Laura will be my best friend Geraldine of ‘Bean Creative’ (with whom you’ll often see me sharing a stall or doing a workshop ), Abi of ‘Oh Abigail‘ … another wonderful friend and painter of the most amazing handmade signs, and by no means least my friend of 30+ years since we were at Art College together, Kim from ‘Daisy Bloom‘, purveyor of the most stunning bags, scarves and jewellery.
Allowing us to sell and help in the shop allows Laura to concentrate on her new project, the prettiest little cottage literally doors away from me! Couldn’t be more excited.
TEA ! …. If you know me, you’ll know I totally love my specialist teas. I’m not talking fruit teas here (unless you mean Cherry blossom green tea), I mean real leaf teas…
My obsession with tea started as a child, and as a young adult was soon exposed to the delights of Earl Grey. I have passed this on to at least one of my children, with my son drinking Earl Grey with lemon from the age of 8, and seeking out the tea section in Harrods the last time we visited.
Running a teashop I could totally indulge in my love of tea and helped by Carly the owner of The Old Young Teahouse I filled the shelves with all manner of interesting brews… a year on from my exit from the shop and I am missing being around the stuff , so after a great conversation with Rockwood & Hoot’s Jane , I’ve decided to sell teas!
I’ll be selling under my own Ruby & Blue brand and you’ll be able to buy soon at Maision Belle as well as order here. Crack out the china teacups!
THRIFTING in Darlo…
What an amazing time we had at The Festival of Thrift at Lingfield Point in Darlington .. 20,000+ people came on day 1 and more on day 2 … It was buzzing!
On top of that we got the most amazing feedback from the festival organisers for both my ‘Kitchen Cupboard Books’ class and for our stall…
The stallholders, food , entertainment and classes were all superb and Geraldine and I had an absolute ball (if a tiring one!) The photos tell the story (and you can see my Ruby van in the last one). Totally booking for next year!
In-between my job at TeesValley Arts, our shop, the markets and events, somewhere there is a creative / foodie business. So – how far have I got with the update of my tea brand? I have the new name, domain name, and email address sorted, and next has been the logo and labels.
