You never know when something else might turn up. Aren't there any attractive victorian pumping staions in secluded settings coming up for sale your way? Insider information and all that...

Mostly flogged off ten years ago - I we don't get any favours - not even a water butt. When my missus gets a job I''ll start looking more seriously.

The field where our horses are kept was recently sold for �50k - it's just over 2 acres.

We've been looking for woodland and a lot of it seems to be an estate being split up and sold off...the paddocks/whatever you call things for horses are significantly more expensive than the woodland, which just seems bizarre to me., but there you are. Wouldn't a horse like to have a bit of woodland to look around?

We aren't talking lush grazing neither!

Land in this part of the country is normally a lot cheaper. However, this was at auction.

The Yorkshire Post on a Saturday has some lovely houses with land advertised for sale - I would still need to win the lottery to have a chance of buying something with a few acres.

Bugs - I've had our horses on different yards where there has been woodland and they do love it, as long as there aren't oak trees! The only time I've been frightened about them being out was in the middle of a thunder storm.

Oooh Saturday Property Post, it's almost porn. I always drop into the Playhouse for a bit of a peek and a coffee after doing my market shop (plus the beast can run around). Mmmm, out buildings.....Then I go and invest in the lottery.

The other thing with very small fields is people will by them it it allows access to a much larger field. I've seen some plots for sale for far more than a house recently. If you can get a small field and it must be kept as agricultural can fruit trees be planted or is this also change of use?

Mmmm, what about hazel trees and other fruit trees. Then there's sap producing trees. I thought you need to apply for change of use to turn a field into a woodland?

A woodland is different from a plantation or orchard if I remember correctly. Plantation and orchard are both agricultural MM might know more

It'd happen naturally if you left it long enough!
