RUPERT MURRAY EDITOR, ASPIRE
I want you to read this magazine, of course I do. But I feel an apology is required in advance for pages 26 and 27. There’s a time and a place for bowel
movements and a luxury travel magazine ought to be safe from such things. But as our Wellbeing Agents Club,
created with Wellbeing Escapes, starts to bear fruit, I felt it was important to lay myself bare and tell you what really happened when I visited SHA Wellness Clinic with a couple of our founder members. I will understand if you decide to skip over that particular spread. You are safe to read all the other pages though. There are some great competitions – particularly one to win a trip to Botswana with Sanctuary Retreats (page 9) – and an interview with none other than Bradley Cooper (page 21). You can also find out who has been shortlisted for an Aspire Award at next month’s Agent Achievement Awards. My colon and I will be in touch again soon to let you know dates for forums and brunches but, until then, happy page-turning.
