It started with a simple text. “Hi Vicky, I edit Feelgood, a weekly health and lifestyle supplement. Wondering if you are free tomorrow for a brief chat about a possible project? Many thanks.”

We spoke the following day over the phone about the possibility of her guest-editing an edition of Feelgood. She said yes and we arranged to meet on Friday, January 25, at 11.30am.
