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 />
