Julie drove on the Animal Care Isle of Wright Study Tour. Julie called our mini bus 'The Party Bus ' the students loved her we had such fun and laughter that weekend.

Myself and Julie got up early on the Saturday morning and we pre walked a walk to take the students on an evening walk that evening it was Julie's ideal so the students would sleep soundly so we would not be woken up at 5.30am! which we were that morning. Julie's ideal worked all the students slept soundly until 8am!.

Julie was a larger than life character, nothing was too much trouble. Julie's greatest love was helping others and driving. She loved driving the students on study tours such as our Isle of Wright trip, Wales and day trips.

Julie will be greatly missed by us all. We were all very lucky to have Julie at Sparsholt. I feel honoured to have been her friend over the last 15 years.
