Hello East London!<br />
Happy New Year! I'm really excited to be starting<br />
2020 with the 53 rd edition of LoveEast and the<br />
beginning of a new decade seems like the perfect<br />
time to give these pages a bit of a refresh, so you<br />
may notice a few design tweaks. I’d love to know<br />
what you think.<br />
Inside, we meet Foreign Affairs, a theatre company<br />
with a difference; visit Hooksmith Press's Russell<br />
Frost in his amazing Leytonstone studio; get<br />
the skinny on gardening (now's the time to start<br />
planning) with Project Green Thumb, and discover<br />
some famous street art in Newham.<br />
We get a refreshingly honest view of parenting from<br />
the co-founders of The Leveller and chat with Mark<br />
A. C. Brown about his feature film, Guardians.<br />
We also have a review of the recently published<br />
Where are the grown-ups?, a story set in the East<br />
End, as well as some great features on food and<br />
drink, wellness and fitness, and, for the history buffs,<br />
some treasures from Walk Hackney and The Gentle<br />
Author.<br />
My aim for this year is to continue seeking out the<br />
fabulous people, places and things to do in East<br />
London. I want to shine a spotlight on our many<br />
unsung heroes. Are you with me?<br />
Cheers,<br />
