Grey days, chilly days and dark evenings at this time of the year can be depressing.  It helps to look ahead, and Brighton & Hove City Council have published three guides on the Council website: http://www.brighton-hove.gov.uk/.

Three guides:

They offer:

- 52 reasons to visit Brighton and Hove in 2009

Fifty things to do in Brighton

What is on offer?  Amongst the fifty are orbing in a 12ft PVC orb down a Sussex Downs hill, various walks, vroom on a scooter, going 'veggietastic' at a local restaurant, a tour of the old police cells, or the sewers, a spooky Preston Manor ghost tour and, of course, buying vegetarian shoes in the North Laine.

Brighton:  what a great place to be.
