Beccy, 49, and Natalie, 60, became best friends after she visited Natalie’s rescue farm in Ontario, Canada. They now run events together on the farm and love travelling together

hen Beccy’s cousin suggested they go to an open day at a local farm, she jumped at the chance. “We live in a small rural area called South Glengarry in Ontario. She told me about this woman who rescues animals and was raising money through a visiting day,” she says. “We got there and she had so many animals and beautiful gardens. I was impressed.”

After meeting up, Natalie was impressed by how “upfront” Beccy was. “She accosted me in this very charming way and told me she’d looked me up on Facebook,” she says. Throughout the meal, the pair bonded quickly. “I told her that I thought we should be friends. I don’t think she had much choice,” laughs Beccy. Natalie was drawn to her warm personality. “She was smart, funny, and well-travelled, as well as being authentic and outgoing.

In 2020, the farm visits paused when the pandemic hit, but the pair stayed in touch every day, and started meeting again as soon as they could. “I was so busy with work but she was always there to text me at 6am,” says Beccy. Neither of the women have their own children, which they think gives them more time for each other. “It’s a different friendship when you don’t have kids,” says Beccy.

The pair have also been on holiday together to Morocco, along with Gordon. “It was such a fantastic trip,” says Beccy. “Gordon sat between us on the flight so we wouldn’t cause any trouble.”
