The call of the wild

Heather and Glenn agree it’s important to make an effort in a relationship on a daily basis, and say it’s the little things that count. “We take turns making each other a cup of tea and toast in bed,” says Heather. “Then we go for a run, meditate, and get on with our working day. We have a lovely relationship and a wonderful life. It’s never boring.”

Heather admits it scares her to think about how her life might have been if she hadn’t met Glenn, whom she counts as her best friend as well as her husband. “He and I have a really amazing connection. We like the same things, have the same values and really enjoy hanging out together. I think we were meant to meet. We have an unshakable connection. I don’t know about reincarnation, but it feels as if we’ve known each other for ever.”

As for Glenn, after spending more than a decade with Heather he is more in love with her than ever. “It seems to us now that we were always meant for each other,” he says. “Everyone has their ups and downs, but we’re so similar in our personalities, loves and interests. We enjoy doing the same things… we finish each other’s sentences all the time.”

And if, one day, they both decide to give up BASE jumping and extreme adventuring, Heather and Glenn are confident it won’t be hard to find other shared passions. “Life has so many wonderful challenges we can tackle together,” says Glenn.
