It will also give her more time to enjoy her passion for gardening, ower arranging and her book club to name a few. Originally working for Lesley, she decided to stay on when I purchased the business in 2017, thankfully, and during that time Julie helped me no end making the transition a smooth one. We have had many great experiences and laughs along the way and Julie was instrumental in our success at winning the National Customer Service Awards. She was a wealth of knowledge with a generous helping of kind heartedness and nothing was too much trouble. I am sure that our many regular customers will join me in wishing her all the best for her retirement. Left to right: Debbie and Julie at the Wedding Attire Retailer Awards in 2019 But from me, Julie I will miss you greatly. Not only for your expertise and calmness in a mad world but for also reining me in on our buying trips! ank you for an awesome 4 years. Conservation Volunteers Back to Work e ‘Vols’ as they are known at Lepe were happy to return in September doing what they do best and that is helping to maintain Lepe Country Park. A er several months of not being able to work in the park due to COVID-19 rules the ‘Vols’ set to and started to clear the sensory garden and removed several barrow loads of weeds and generally started to tidy up plants a er the summer’s growth. Amongst their achievements over the past 15 years the Friends of Lepe have contributed nancially and physically to building the bird hide, extending the board walk, making a large nature pond, keeping the D-Day end of the park and playground tidy and constructing and planting the Sensory Garden under the guidance of a Lepe Ranger.
