With the turning of the seasons, I offer a page of Celtic harp music, writings and reflections, and nature sounds from The Dene - the green valley where I live, the place which nurtures me, inspires me and feeds me.
Each season, a new page offers a place to read the words, hear the nature sounds of my valley, and listen to the Celtic harp music that comes as I create a new Celtic Harp Essence. Sometimes, a slideshow of images with music is included, so that you step out of the busy-ness of life for a while, and be enfolded by the music of Julie's harp, and sounds and images of nature.

" I will lie down with the deer
In the coolness of the green shadows,
And through my dreams of summer’s green
And of birdsong in the wild places,
I will hear the Song of the Seasons."

This green place - and all its creatures of the land and of the air - have been my close companions for more than twenty years.
I have watched the seasons come and go, seen my sweet children grow and blossom here, and seen my own private journey unfold within this landscape.
I hope you will feel nurtured and inspired by the words and images from my small part of the green world.
My hope is that this page will be a source of peace and inspiration for those who visit - like a 'Living Well' to refresh and restore the mind and spirit.

"The strength of the oak around you,
Protection of rowan surround you,
The wisdom of hazel within you,
And the Song of Peace be yours."
