Real person
Julie spends most of her time away from work travelling whether that be a cheeky weekend in the country, an overseas trip to visit family or on occasion a more exotic destination with some adventure.
When home based, you will find her on weekends restoring and upcycling antique furniture, walking, elbow deep in the kitchen cooking up her latest gastronomic delight for friends and family or indulging in the latest historical biography.
