elcome to this week’s issue, which is jam-packed with inspiring stories. It’s just over a year since our cover star Ingrid Hipkiss left her job in TV to startwith Corin Dann and Nathan Rarere. It was a bold move that came about after celebrating turning 50 and the self-reflection it brought. From page six, Ingrid talks about the power of saying yes and the importance of close friendships. It’s a sentiment that’s been very much on my mind as I recently celebrated my best friend’s half-century. Nikki and I met at the age of 17 on our first day at Teacher’s Training College, and immediately struck a bond. We’ve been at each other’s side through thick and thin – parenting nine children between us, marriages, moving cities, changing jobs and more. It’s so special to have someone who loves you warts and all and I’m very grateful for our friendship. I’d love to hear about your bestie if you want to share by emailing or writing in.
