Why not show your love with a Julian of Norwich A5 ‘All Shall be Well’ print, hand-made by Print to the People, a local community printmaking studio in Norwich. Julian of Norwich was the first female author to write in English, and her famous quote ‘All shall be well, and all manner of thing shall be well.’ is particularly comforting in troubling times. She was also known as Dame Julian or Mother Julian. Prints are £10 each and there are different postage options available.
