Julie wrangled her animals into the right place at the right time for this photograph: Tucker, left, and Texas, are both stationbred horses, and Dixie and Ziggy are rescue dogs (and best mates).įavourite time of the year: Definitely summer.

She held fast to her vision of blending old and new and is proud that many materials were able to be preserved and reused, including the mataī flooring, rimu weatherboards, light switches and doors.
