Dear Reader,

What do Dale Vince, Lily Cole, Raymond Blanc, Arizona Muse, George Lamb, Dominique Palmer and Poppy Okotcha have in common? They were all outstanding speakers this week at Journey to Zero, our campaign, events and awards programme, sponsored by Skydiamond, that keeps a spotlight shining firmly on the storytellers that make our shift to a kinder way of living for people and planet, the new narrative and the only story in town worth telling. I have literally swelled up with pride and admiration for the conversations and connections that are being created – there is no doubt the dial is being shifted. The key is to add spice, sass, desirability, fun, joy, passion and aspiration to a subject that can at times feel heavy and overwhelming – who could argue with that? 

Thank you too to Polestar, Yves Delorme and Molton Brown and incredible event organisers, Baillie Newman.

Have a great week.

WHAT’S EXCITING ME THIS WEEK

Winter TV

After my week’s excitements outlined above, it’s time to decompress in front of The Crown this weekend. I’m a sucker for this dramatised blockbusting series and can’t wait to see how the 1990s play out… despite what the critics are saying.
