Julie
I was born in Buckinghamshire but spent my early years in South Devon returning to Buckinghamshire in my late teens, where I met Debbie when we were in our 30’s.
We discovered we shared an appreciation of nature and the outdoors, a love of dogs; both being owners of rescue dogs, enjoy walking, painting, chatting and wine!
In 2016 we walked Hadrian’s Wall – coast to coast. It was an amazing journey and great to be shared with a good friend.
I retired and moved from the Lincolnshire coast to Nottinghamshire with Debbie moving to Derbyshire later the same year (a total unplanned coincidence).
The beautiful countryside all around us, from Sherwood Forest to the Derbyshire Dales, is a constant inspiration for our paintings and crafting and has led us to set up Malt House Crafts to showcase our work and the work of other local crafters.
