Single parents in East Sussex

East Sussex is Brighton and everywhere else, and the everywhere else — Hastings, Eastbourne, Lewes, Bexhill — is more spread out than people expect. The coast road is slow. Brighton parents often meet on a weeknight; further east, a Sunday works better.

Everyone here is a parent, so the practical stuff — custody weeks, childcare, a reply that comes two days later because it was that kind of week — never needs explaining.
