Sally Ridge

She may have been the Weekly's crafts editor a decade ago, but don't expect Sally Ridge to be bedazzling baby onesies just yet for her precious new grandson ...

"I do have a partner, Scott, and he's lovely. "That's one thing I have learnt with age – it's important to be really good mates first and foremost. "All the kids are so strong-willed, enthusiastic and motivated," tells Sally. The teenager is in Year 11 at school and has just started learning to drive. "I'm so into art and Astin has created a really good website," she enthuses. "A lot of people recreated what I made and sent photos to show me. But they got held up at the airport and the bomb squad got brought in. "The police then rang us and weren't happy. They'll take something and turn it into 100 times bigger – and they don't really care about the consequences that I have to go through as a person. I could buy a vase from a two-dollar shop, then glue all those little bits and pieces on and make it look cool. Sally will be known to Porter as "Gigi", a name that her son-in-law came up with. Saying goodbye was hard, but I'd like to get back there and see him every quarter, and thankfully they're coming back for baby's first Christmas this year.
