Falling for the stranger who saved me
When Nupur Gupta found herself in trouble out at sea, Attila Bosnyak appeared at her side. Two years later, despite lockdowns and living on different continents, he still is.
In February 2019, Nupur Gupta was teaching at a yoga retreat in Goa when she got into difficulty in the sea. A Hungarian man called Attila Bosnyak who happened to be on the same yoga retreat was passing the beach, saw her in trouble and sprang into action. A dramatic rescue followed and a strong bond was formed between Nupur and Attila. That could have been the end of the story but instead it was the start of an on-going romantic relationship.
Up in the Scottish Highlands at this time of the year you’ll find 150 reindeer roaming the Cairngorms National Park, and rather a lot of visitors coming to see them. These beautiful creatures are the only free-ranging herd of reindeer in the UK and they are looked after by Tilly Smith who went to spend the summer working there back in 1981... and she never left! Our reporter Antonia Quirke braved Scotland's wintry weather to meet Tilly, her daughter Fiona and some of the reindeer they look after, at the Cairngorm Reindeer Centre.
