Battlefield the Beautiful: Game, set and match?

Game, set and match?

I will believe this when I see it.

Gosforth reserve plans 'withdrawn' - The Journal

Mark my words, Newcastle City Council planners don't give up easily. This open land will remain in limbo unless it is placed 'irrovocably' beyond the grasp of developers. It should be purchased by wildlife interests and leased for agriculture and other approved activities.

WELCOME

I began this blog in order to have a say in the future of a piece of open ground close to my home in Newcastle upon Tyne, England. Using this humble area of 'green space' with it's view across the city as a sounding board for thoughts I have had for most of my adult life about how our built and informal environment comes together; how the places where we live need to be cherished for what they are rather than disregarded for what they are not.

Now, in 2010, I am branching out to include other parts of the city where I live and use daily.

My approach is simply that of a reasonably intelligent spectator; one who may at times be plain wrong but, hopefully, more often just frustrated. Between those twins I hope also to record my affection for and draw attention to what is too little considered; the beauty of ordinary places.
