2 May, 2014 at 9:15 pmI’ve not been to Brighton. My mother in law is from Norwich, and we have spent time in Great Yarmouth and Cromer. They both have piers and all the usual beachside fun. I’m sure not on the level of Brighton, but it really is a different way to experience the seaside than what we do in the American South, which is just sit on beautiful sand and play in water as warm as a bath.
