Boffin alert

There are a surprisingly large amount of historic buildings lying about the countryside just waiting for a keen-eyed, devilishly handsome rural planning consultant to do something with them...

So about a year ago I set out to add a heritage discipline to my existing rural and agricultural planning gamut.

I signed up to the Royal Agricultural University's Conservation and Management of Historic Buildings Course at the Cultural Heritage Institute, squeezed in additional courses at at the University of Oxford, the Canolfan Tywi Centre and the RAU's excellent Building Conservation Summer School, and have also spent the last year jumping out of the car every time I drive past anything remotely interesting in order to look at it.

Anyway, long story short, I am jolly pleased to have now added a PG Cert to my post-nominals. It is now just a short twelve-month hop of further endeavour to the PG Dip, and then the lightest of skips and jumps to another MSc...
