Welcome to your local magazine Dear neighbours This month it's my privilege to feature the Gentle Author (p4). Some of you may have heard of him and if you haven't, then I'm very pleased to introduce him to you. He's been writing his blog Spitalfields Life for several years now, writing daily stories about the many fascinating people who live in the East End. He doesn't write about celebrities. HIs interest from the start was to uncover the many interesting but "invisible" people who live in this part of London. His work is an antedote to our celebrity culture, and we're much richer for it. We've discovered two more great East London charities, one provides fruit & veg vouchers for people on low incomes (p12), and the other is gathering volunteers to continue its great work inspiring children to read. If you fancy getting involved take a look at p25. Christine Preisig continues our East London makers series, visiting a local foundry where some of the world's greatest art is cast (p8). There are our regular features on food, history, fitness, legal matters and wellness, as well as our comprehensive what's on guide. Have a great February everyone, and don't get hung up on Valentine's Day. Take a leaf out of Sophie Parkin's book instead (p14).
