life in brighton

so only a few days to go before i leave town, only to return for a couple of weekends before i disappear out of the country. beginning to realise i will really miss life in brighton. obviously mostly because of the people rather than the place.. but also:
the good food - no more trips to terre a terre or la fourchette for a year, even worse no more meringues or welsh rarebit at the mock turtle as they are apparently closing?! nightmare
the fantastic trapeze classes that Mandi kindly got me into - see amusing picture of me trying to do the 'gazelle' move - whatever that is

the going out options - just last night saw an amazing show by dv8 dance company, really loved it
cycling - that pretty much anywhere is only a bicycle ride away
the scenery - walks a plenty by the sea or around the downs
the May festival - even more arty options for the diary than usual
clubbing - thank you Steve in particular for many a top night out

here's hoping i find lots of similar joys on my travels to help fill the gap
