My name was Julie Shaw, my Mum and Dad, Jack and Connie Shaw had the Post office when I was born there in 1961. I have one Sister Lois.
I was born in Merriott, Sept 1st  1960, in the bedroom of my parents' cottage opposite the nursery garden centre. My mum is June Elliott (Hooper family from Merriott) and my dad John Elliott (kingsbury Episcopi). I lived there  until moving to Worcester in 1963. My aunties and uncles still live in the village with some of my cousins. I live in Lincolnshire with my husband Allan, we have 2 daughters Abbe and Aprille.
