Last week I had a mad notion to offer up my services to The Leader in hopes that they would look forward to having me back on board. 11 years later, I find myself living back home in Ireland with 3 kids running around the place.
It’s a massive change from my usual daytime routine of sunning myself on the top terrace, O.K Magazine in one hand and a glass of Sangria in the other. I call it Karma! Of course I wouldn’t change it for the world but I thought that you might like a little new and improved ‘Julie’s Blog’ to read.
