Seasons Greetings. Here at Brown Boots Town Planning we are taking time to reflect on what has happened over the last 12 months and The Game carries on and it is game. Those 12 months have mainly been filled with veiled threats from the judiciary, admin, mainly admin, emails, back and forth with Local Planning Authorities who on the face of it are being difficult for difficults sake, but underneath they are struggling to provide any kind of service because of the last 14 years of degradation, incompetence and the emergence of management by people who want to be managers. The best managers are the ones that don’t want to be managers (The great Bob Paisley), the art of understanding The Game, natural ability to understand people, decision making and clear judgement, knowing the consequences of their actions. This approach is rapidly being lost in a fog of self preservation and conflict avoidance or governance by people who quite simply are having their strings pulled on the promise of an extra days leave or the extra few quid we all need. I read a lot of self congratulatory posts, self praise demonstrating single mindedness of career progression or how they have reinvented the wheel, demonstrating publicly how they can do the job, I find it quite sad really, I think people are enveloped by their work (profession) more than ever, you are never away from it, the days of turning up completing a task to a good standard simply isn’t good enough anymore, maybe the seeping of academia into professional jobs, the incessant need for people to add their two pence worth, correcting people where it is really isn’t required, reminder asking a question isn’t questioning someones integrity, its about understanding or trying to understand. So here at Brown Boots Town Planning we try and see through the BS and do a job to the highest standard with the dedication to the task to get from A to B as quickly as possible, no flowery language and no farming of the wicket. Its all about respect for the job you are doing. Hopefully everyone finds the time this Christmas to get away from the prolific musings regarding the NPPF 2024, the clatter of big wigs trying have their voice heard over footnote 63, step back have a pint of bitter and a cheese and onion cob and think, that is exactly what I’ll be doing this afternoon at the Brown Boots Town Planning Christmas do. We do things different here. Have a good Christmas and New Year and give me a call if you require my services in the new year for simply straightforward advice on subjects which are made unnecessarily difficult by people who believe they are brighter than you. I leave with a link to The Game Echo and the Bunnymen, we are all in the game and the game continues in 2025. https://lnkd.in/e3NTZkZY

🌼 Is it time for a truce? On the daily, Burke races out the back door and to the fence, fur bristling on her neck and back, and viciously defends our yard, chastising Henry (“our” Great Blue Heron), for daring to be on OUR side of the pond. Of course, Henry squawks his retort and flies off, returning only after Burke has meandered back to her indoor retreat. But today, it looks like Henry decided he was done being bullied and bossed around by Burke. Henry was the louder of the two in their exchange today and after briefly retreating...decided he'd had enough of this. “Not today Burke!” I think I heard him say. Maybe it was Burke’s half-hearted barks. She just didn’t seem that into doing her job today. And now she’s paid the price... ...or maybe Henry realized that he's the one with the power. He's not held back by a fence. And even if he was fenced in, he could just fly away. Today, Henry finally stood his ground. And it even appears there may have been some playful, friendly repartee there at the end. Maybe we can all get along, overcome challenges, and see others in a new light. Need a new perspective? Have a great Monday!! (**Please excuse me if I don't interact much today: I'm on an airboat chasing alligators.) 🌼❣️ Have a project that requires Voice Over?

'Silent sports' are the holy grail, right? A deep connection to nature, the moment unfolding, uninterrupted solitude. The problem with silent sports: they're unrealistic for almost everyone. But anyone with access to a bike can experiences the soul sport juiciness we usually reserve for rock climbers, surfers, and powder skiers. Thanks to Philip at Street Wisdom for spreading the word. It's already happening: https://lnkd.in/gpdmJHN4

As we approached Orkney recently, the cliffs of Hoy were magnificently lit by the sun, and the almost-detached stack of Bre Brough was clearly seen. Hard as it is to believe, the name 'brough' suggests that the Vikings or their immediate successors recognised that this incomparable location had been used at some stage previously- possibly some time in the Iron Age- as a stronghold; if it were not some 325 metres above the sea, we would probably simply call it a 'promontory fort'. Clearly, the cliffs which surround most of the one-hectare site, defend it spectacularly well. On the narrow, landward side, a stone wall and turf bank block the only access to the flat summit. How such a dramatic and isolated location could really have been used, is very difficult to work out; peaty turf now hides any structures that might have been constructed in this vertiginous location. But it certainly provides food for thought, and adds interest to the great cliffs of Hoy.
