Day Two, Brighton Leaders Conference, Brighton, England

After a restless night's sleep I wake up at the unearthly hour of seven fifteen. I throw open the curtains and there is the sparkling mass that is Prime Brighton Seafront. Today I incline my head to my left and what a sight!

It's The Other Pier. The exciting one where you can spend a whole day leaning over the edge, eat loads, puke it all up on the rides, get a tattoo and go on those exciting dance machine thingy's which the Japanese are so masterful at.

After a lungful of not-so-fresh air (plenty of roadworks on the marina this summer) I decide that it's time for breakfast.

It is true that not many youthworkers- full-timers in fact- get to stay in posh hotels at conferences. For this I am very thankful that our elders love to bless the workers. It's the best.
