Conservation Officer, where art thou?


OK, possibly up to your ears in work, but the Editor of SALON, the newsletter of the Society of Antiquaries no less, is wondering what has happened to you.

http://www.sal.org.uk/salon/#section13

Mr Catling says:

Confessions of a Conservation Officer...
Of course, if English Heritage staff want to know more about life at the coal face of conservation area work, they could do worse than read the ‘Confessions of a Conservation Officer’
blog. This blogger’s trenchant reflections on the life of a Conservation Officer at a small English local council have been flowing through at weekly intervals since the beginning of 2009 and have gathered a loyal readership for their poignancy. But the blog has dried up recently — perhaps because doing the day job and writing a blog is proving too much; but if the anonymous blogger happens to be reading this, please do keep up the good work!


And so say all of us!

No more excuses, sober up, shape up, and get writing!
