If y’all would take a second to read past scary headlines, you’d know that not all hope is lost to save coral reefs.

So don’t give up. The reefs need you.

I am living proof that you can be into environmentalism and not enjoy yoga or wild swimming. Don't let that hold you back from joining the cause. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk 💚

14 years in London and I finally went to see The Mousetrap this afternoon. Very camp, very fun, didn’t guess who dunnit. The theatre is charmingly decrepit. An excellent autumn/winter activity.

Did I still buy Vogue because I was so thrilled to see a magazine with a covermount? You bet I did.

14,000 people and you could have heard a pin drop. I forget that not that long ago we had leaders who spoke with clarity, passion, thoughtfulness and intelligence. What a wonderful evening listening to Obama at the O2
