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

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.
