Hello and welcome to weekend white wine question time.

And today we're continuing my conversation with Angela Rippen, a genuine broadcasting legend and trailblazer.

In our Saturday episode, we hand things over to you.

It's your turn to ask the question.

So let's hear what our listener Claire wanted to put to Angela.

For my third and final question, we're turning to a listener who wanted to put something to you, Angela, where again, you've been a cause of inspiration.

This is from Claire, who lives in Dublin.

And she says, Angela, I have found so much comfort in reassurance in the way you speak about the

love you have for your friends, how happy you've been living as a single person, and how

fulfilling that's been for you. I too,

am a single woman in my late 50s, truly happy to be without a relationship with a man,

living my beautifully clean and beautifully decorated home, traveling with friends and enjoying a really

good life. I never feel alone or lacking. In fact, the opposite. I feel very fulfilled.

Thank you for making me feel less alien to people. You are still defying norms and narratives

that feel like they belong to women of a different generation. Please continue to share with us

ways in which women can flourish. Well, thank you.

And what was her name?

She was from Dublin.

Claire.

Claire.

Yes, Claire.

Yeah, and she's in her late 50s.
