Julia Rai was a teacher for many years covering subjects as diverse as project management, customer service skills, communication skills, neuro linguistic programming, jewellery making and working with glass, polymer clay and metal clay.

She relocated from Cornwall to Rushden in the East Midlands in 2023 to help look after her elderly Mum. After her Mum passed away in April 2026, she decided to retire from in-person teaching. 

She now spends her time gardening and loves cruising to all the places in the world she wants to see! You can follow her adventures on Facebook.
