the guardian The Sabbatical 2006
In early 2006, Julie announced that she was taking a sabbatical from her Times column to study GOD. "I see this as the nearest I have ever had to a gap year, and am very much enjoying it," she said. 
 
The Times then announced that Julie was still writing for them but they were giving her "a rest" from her column to liberate her to write on topical issues for the weekday paper. 
 
Back on planet earth, she also mentioned that she was writing a sequel to Sugar Rush, a book on Brighton, and setting up a TV company to sell ideas for more documentaries. The TV company is called Dumbass Inc, and Julie's partner is Sara Lawrence - the Daily Mail journalist, not the NY college of the same name who happen to have an Undergraduate course on religion (and summer schools for writers).
 
Anything that stops Daily Mail journalists from writing articles can only be a good thing!
