If the first part of our lives is about relationships, raising children, schools, parties and getting to know ourselves, the second part brings us change and different kinds of challenges we couldn’t even have imagined when we were young and free. This issue we chat to Kirsten Kulukundis who started ‘The Next Half’, a forum which brings to life the next half of our lives and discovers our potential to recreate ourselves again. In my case this is discovering neuroendocrine tumors which rocked my world so we’ve decided to focus on cancer this issue, one of the great challenges of our time that will affect so many of us.
But life is to be lived so don’t miss our other autumn highlights, the best schools, restaurants and their head chefs, beauty boutiques and our spotlight which turns to the idyllic village of Barnes this season.
Our On the Scene photos and What’s On diary are now online. Don’t miss our Shop either with ethical brands, carefully curated for our readers.
