Nice looking job there Iain.

Having spent a grand couple of weeks up near there recently, my wife would love me to uproot from the big smoke and get a post like this.

 

If I wasn't so attached to the Heath, I'd be very interested.

 

Hopefully the suits will get wind of my itchy feet and chuck me a nice raise to keep me

 

Yorkshire definately needs a good few more monoliths imo

Thats the tricky bit if you haven't come from a background in planning or been an assistant tree officer.
