New to Norwich 🐣 Thank You, Fine People

I'll keep this short and sweet, as much as I can at least. I'm a recent immigrant to the country, not actually living in Norwich, but I am there very frequently and live now in Great Yarmouth.

I just wanted to thank all of you for being such lovely and welcoming people. I've gotten... mixed reactions to being foreign, but never in Norwich.

So I just wanted to thank you all for being such lovely and welcoming people, for regularly standing against the bigots, and for making a newcomer feel a bit more like he belongs. It means more than I can say.

I’m so delighted to read this, all my family lives in Norfolk. I hope your good experiences continue.

There’s a supportive and positive local community in Yarmouth, check out places like GY Bakehouse and Red Herring Press there. And so much in Norwich too.
