Today is the beginning of the Brighton festival, a whole month of cultural events including art exhibitions, plays, comedy revues, musical performances, talks, walks and happenings. These take place not only in every public venue in town, but indeed many private houses are also thrown open to the public, these filled with the endeavours of the numerous talented artists, photographers and craftspeople who live here. Also, during this time the streets are filled with itinerant performers, including jugglers, fire eaters, mime artists, conjurors, buskers, skateboarding troupes (some including dogs) and comedians, to name but a few.

You will note I do not have any photographs whatsoever that seem to indicate this fact. I consider this a personal success.
