Our Med gulls warm hearts

GREAT Yarmouth is a fabulous family holiday destination, although even ardent admirers would struggle to say the resort basks in a Mediterranean ambience.

- Stuart Winter

Promenade along the famous Golden Mile on the most bracing of wintry days and thoughts of sunny climes and sultry temperatures quickly warm the cockles.

For flying among the squadrons of those unfairly vilified seaside herring gulls are the embodiment of angelic grace.

Mediterranean gulls float on immaculate porcelain wings so white and pure they would make the most virtuous seraphim envious.
