About Me
- Jenny Beattie
- I moved with my family to Bangkok in July 2005. What do I do? I make hats and costumes; I’ve written articles, a novel and a non-fiction book is underway… I've held a variety of volunteer positions within the expat community. Tea stains is where I write and illustrate the things that consume me: life in Thailand, shop windows, books, cats, making, hats, fascinators, tea and the colour orange.
What am I reading in 2016?
The War of Art by Steven Pressfield
The Trouble with Goats and Sheep by Joanna Cannon
The Year of Taking Chances by Lucy Diamond
Mr Phillips by John Lanchester
Waiting for Sunrise by William Boyd
The Ice Twins by SK Tremayne

Is that a bottlebrush tree? Lovely photo.
That's beautiful. There's something very tranquil about it.
It's not bottlebrush; the leaves are quite, quite different. I don't know what this one is, but it's lovely. The flower looks a bit like those of the castor oil plant, but again, the foliage is different.

Debs, I'm horribly ignorant when it comes to plants (but Liane seems to know). I took the photo here in Bangkok, over in Silom Village. I can't work out why the background is black... did I take it with something behind it like that?
Helen, tranquil is a good word. Serene is what I had thought. I needed something like that...
Wordtryst, thanks hon. I've no idea what it is.
