Wonderful to see our eldest daughter Gaia interviewed by The Florist, theflorist.co.uk/news-1/gaia-..., exploring her approach to the world of #flowers and #design. #Sustainability is indeed in her DNA – and I have learned so much from her and her adventures over the decades.

Just back from a WWF-UK showing of DavidAttenborough's new film, "Ocean," at Selfridge's Cinema. Utterly stunning. Watch it if you possibly can. A key focus was on the urgent need to protect 30% of the world's oceans by 2030, a target known as "30by30" or "30x30".
