P.S. hhas so muchh insided ...now there is even more
It is two years since we launched P.S. and it would be fair to say a lot has changed since then.
While we have had to adapt to all the uncertainties of lockdown, one thing has remained constant – our commitment to delivering the best Sunday read.
We know how tough it has been for everyone, so as well as bringing you all the latest entertainment, food, books, homes and travel (because we can always dream), our trusted experts have been there every step of the way.
As our outdoor spaces became our only escape, gardening guru Agnes Stevenson has brightened our Sundays with tales from her flower beds, while sharing advice for green-fingered readers. Our fabulous fashion editor
Wendy Rigg has helped us stay on trend – even if we are only dressing up for ourselves. And trusted agony aunt Maggie Clayton has held our hand through the darkest days.
Covid has of course meant some changes. Our resident Scone Spy is still on furlough but we promise our undercover cafe critic will be back once it’s safe.
And while we wait for theatres and cinemas to reopen, we will keep you up to date with must-see TV, radio, and podcasts. Plus, we have added seven-day TV listings so you need never miss a thing on the box.
All this, and we will continue to bring you terrific interviews with inspiring women, like thiss week’s cover star Mel Giedroyc, who shares herr life lessons of lockdown.
Summer’s coming, there is light in the darkness and we have something tot celebrate too after P.S. wasw named Supplement Of Thet Year at the PPA Scottish Magazine Awards.
We hope you continuee to enjoy P.S. as much as we enjoy creating it for you.

Bronagh Andrew, operations manager at Glasgowb a s e d support group Trafficking Awareness Raising Alliance, said: “Human trafficking is an issue of growing concern in Scotland. It is a crime perpetrated by brutal and ruthless criminals who seek to make money from the exploitation and misery of others.
“Raising awareness is vital to disrupt the criminals and assist the authorities in tackling this problem.”
Kirsty Thomson, founding director of human rights lawyers Justright Scotland, who operate a dedicated antitrafficking unit, said: “The reality is that human trafficking is happening throughout Scotland and survivors tell me it is happening in plain sight.
“They tell me we need increased awareness about what human trafficking looks like in Scotland so that people can see when human trafficking is happening in order that more people can be protected.”
T he Sco t t i s h g ov e r n - ment said trafficking human beings was “an appalling abuse of human rights” and added work had begun to ensure it was “recognised, recorded and punished and that victims get the help and support they need”.
