From the editor: Small change

It’s all about change. The weather has turned, and as much as so many people like to mutter about how our Summer is one afternoon a year (and that’ll be the afternoon you have to wait in for a gas meter reading) toes are being dipped in the sea, picnics made, outdoor festivals set up, and plans being made.

It’s the plans that are being made that interest me. In the sunshine anything seems possible. Like Passenger’s outdoor busking set last week (see Brightonsfinest). One of the joys of this weather is being able to get out onto the Downs and find those views that just stretch out to a far horizon filled with nature and stripped of city strife.

It’s also very interesting to see that Wired Sussex’s Talent2018 job fair is back at the Brighton Dome after last year’s inaugural success. We truly are a mighty digital city, but that doesn’t mean we have to stay with one project. With ideas buzzing and opportunities knocking, this might present just the occupational Spring clean you’ve been after.

There are treats to help tempt yourself awake after a lengthy hibernation – there’s a Weasley brother coming to the Theatre Royal (p5)! How often does that happen?

Plus delights nearby, like satirist, comedian and broadsheet columnist Mark Steel bringing his new shows to Worthing (p11), and if you’ve ever fancied living near a castle, the stunning new builds in Lewes (p7).

Time for a change. Big or small. It’s up to you.
