FRIENDSHIP IS A GIFT, and one that we all treasure. Trusting and confiding in each other is what binds friendship­s together, but when those foundation­s are threatened, it can rock an individual to their core. In ‘Scammed By My Best Friend’ (page 108), we witness how low one scammer was prepared to go for financial gain.

Olivia Newton-John (page 32) is a name synonymous with good times and happy tunes. But she’d be the first to acknowledg­e that her personal life has faced some tough challenges, particular­ly in terms of her health. Despite a diagnosis of breast cancer nearly 30 years ago, and then its return as stage 4 in her back in 2017, Olivia remains positive and is committed to a low-toxic, all-natural lifestyle.

This month’s issue offers an interestin­g read for everyone. For adventure lovers, we explore the magnificen­t coast of Northern Ireland (‘In the Land of the Giants’, page 116), and marvel at the bravery and determinat­ion of a man who survived almost 29 hours in Indonesian waters (‘Lost Overboard’, page 124). Health-wise, we take an indepth look at bladder cancer and how to recognise the early signs (page 64), and examine the nutritiona­l value of matching certain foods together (‘Dynamic Duos’, page 92). We also show how easy it is to extend the use of ordinary household items by putting them to work in extraordin­ary new ways (page 38).

These stories and more are specially selected for you. Happy reading!
