66 Hard work This month’s interviewee is the very photogenic, RADA-trained actress Hannah Arterton whose hometown of Gravesend in Kent is where it all began for her. She explains the town still retains a vibrant cultural scene and that it’s also easy to think of acting as being a glamorous globetrotting career. In fact, it’s a tough business and requires much hard work and dedication. All Hannah’s efforts are now coming to fruition as her career blossoms. Elsewhere in the magazine, if you hadn’t already heard, then the early morning chore of scanning through a large email inbox should become easier with the new GDPR legislation, as Debbie Pell explains. Kevin Pilley visits the Cape Winelands and tracks down the Surrey businessman who owns Leeu Estates in Franschhoek. On the motoring front, an American classic, the Ford Mustang, finally arrives with a right hand drive and more power, as Euan Johns discovers the iconic Steve McQueen’s famed marque. The Split is a popular BBC drama, but is it true to life? Miranda Green at Mundays LLP sheds some light. Emanuela of Alladio Sims Garden Design looks into creating a garden compatible with children. Galvin Restaurants suffered from the Brexit effect earlier this year by having to close their much-loved French bistro in Marylebone owing to staff shortages. However, Stephanie Brookes finds all is well at Mayfair’s Galvin at The Athenaeum. Summer fashion invariably means messing about on boats and Crew Clothing offers a variety of casual smartwear. For those off to the races or polo and needing a little inspirational headwear, look no further than couture designer Ashley Pearce at Mystic Magic. As always, this issue of essence has a mix of health, beauty, legal and financial advice. Don’t miss the diary of events and places to visit, together with market comment and the pick of some of the region’s finest properties. The essence team
