In this edition, we look for framed perfection with Whitstable photographer Jason Knott and talk kitchens, pianos and going viral with Deal musician Jake St Ange. Faversham creative pair Sim Evan-Jones and Julia Woolf celebrate 25 years of Shrek and reveal their roles in making the iconic movie, while Sevenoaks chef Stuart Gillies tells us about modern menus.

Elsewhere, we have our Food & Drink Focus, R&B singer Chidimma on juggling a career in the NHS, Jane De Bono on a life with leather and Sam Woods heading to Amberlea Tea House and much more.
