Refresh your friendships How to nurture friendships old and new

Make new friends, but keep the old, so goes the childhood rhyme. But whether they are silver or gold, friendships should be nurtured…

Old school besties, work chums, nursery gate acquaintances, Pilates pals – we pick up friends throughout our lives and we all feel different about how many we want and how often we see them. Friendships often play second fiddle to romantic relationships, but they’re just as important a part of our lives, bringing joy, stability and sometimes sorrow.

It’s time we nurtured our friendships and treated them with the care they deserve. Even if they’ve gone awry, a little care and attention can get them back on track.
