The amazing Ruth Ribeaucourt is organising an auction to raise money for the victims of Australia’s unprecedented bushfires. My friend and the podcast’s producer, Leonie Marsh, is in the thick of the crisis with a young family of 3 and the fires all around. If there is any way for you to support this effort, please do. Reposting on your own feed would help too. I simply do not know how people will come back from this but I know that feeling part of a community of support will help. See Ruth’s stories for more information. Here is Ruth’s post....
I feel and have felt absolutely powerless to help with the tragedy (climatic, nature, human) that is destroying so much of Australia.
So this morning I decided to do something about it.
I am going to host an art and creative auction here on Friday 10th January. Already there have been some really incredible donations from creatives I admire immensely from all over the world. All proceeds go directly to the Australian Red Cross and if you choose to bid and win you will have something you adore in your home, or perhaps a creative service or experience that will change your life / your business... And it will be tax deductible. 👍

I share more in my stories about the how to donate.

I love this community, we have the power to contribute to change, the ability to come together and help even in a small way.

Please share as widely as you can. Reach out to artists you know but we also need bidders so tell everyone to turn up on here on Friday 10th January and support our friends in Australia.
Love,
Ruth

I'm thrilled to learn that Tim Walker has been included in Her Majesty’s New Year's Honours and awarded a CBE for his incredible work leading the London Philharmonic Orchestra over the last 17 years. His words of wisdom in our conversation in season 1 of Unpaused still ring in my ears... He's mentored many and inspired more, including me. And he's no mean jam maker either..

As we move into the Christmas season, I have left a small surprise on our website(unpaused.net - hit the link in our bio) for subscribers to our newsletter. It's an episode which I wrote and recorded about one of my Unpaused heroines, Eleanor Roosevelt.⁠
In it, I try to describe some of the momentous upheavals she experienced, even as early as a girl of 10, and how she overcame these to eventually become one of the most influential women, perhaps the most influential, of 20th century America.⁣ ⁠It's a wonderful story and one that sits happily with the other episodes in the two seasons of Unpaused so far. I think you'll like it, and it might fill in a quiet ten minutes in the holidays to come.⁠
Think of it as our way of saying Happy Christmas from everyone at Unpaused.⁠

The highly skilled artisan ribbon-makers at Julien Faure at St Just St Rampart near Sainte- Etienne in France use restored Jacquard looms which are more than 150 years old to weave the ribbons which modern machines cannot hope to reproduce. With an output of just 6 metres of ribbon per day, they supply the haute couture houses of France and Italy with the ribbons that immediately set their creations apart. Instantly recognisable to the connoisseur, their ribbons are woven according to time-honoured traditions and artisanship which ground France's priceless cultural patrimony. ⁠
⁠
Ruth Ribeaucourt's amazing story of her discovery of her husband's family's role in this industry over the last two centuries is, simply, wonderful. In Episode 6 of Unpaused out tomorrow. Subscribe in your podcast app so you don't miss a thing. ⁠
