Julie loves her garden and spends many an hour exploring garden centres for interesting plants and tending to seedlings in her greenhouse. When she isn't in her garden, she can be found walking the pathways of Cheshire with her Husband Ian and her Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Holly. On the odd Summer evening, she can be found next to her chimenea with a glass of Gin and Tonic!
