Gimlet Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 If you want plenty of totty around, get some horses - jodhpurtastic I don't know. They're not the willowy country girls they used to be. Round here they're mostly tubby middle aged townies whose husbands have bought them a nag and matching 4X4 so they won't get bored in the country.

double10 Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 Exactly what I was going to say! dig a nice specimen lake Maybe I'll just dig a two acre lake, fill it with fish and save a fortune on day tickets... Is that per month or per year?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mungler Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 I would get some sheds on stilts on there and re-make Tenko. When not filming id make them sew Nike trainers or build a railway - that's where the money is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ME Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 (edited) What about a gay night club? There are loads of homos in Hertfordshire and with two disposable incomes there is money in the pink pound.

blowin Posted September 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 Thank you all. Some sage advice and a few laughs. I'm going to have a word – either get him to pay some rent and keep the place in shape or get shot. If the latter then I'm tempted by some sheep of my own. Finally, to all those who have justifiably reminded me how lucky I am – you're right! If only getting to this point didn't involve working my **** off I'd be doing all the 'good life' stuff out there. As it is, I think I've got a few more years before I expand from five chickens and veg patch. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old rooster Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 One thing you might need to be careful of is the length of time the guy has been using the land, there may be some sort of legal rights if it has been some time, you don't want that to deal with! Just a thought. We did consider putting sheep on the paddock at the place we moved into a couple of years ago, in the end we didn't do it because like any sort of stock they are something else to look after. Also thought about renting out but when you look at the rewards against potential for aggravation decided against it. Bought a bit rotavator in the end and made a decent sized vegetable patch, it's been quite successful. Keep thinking about putting in a small lake and stocking it with carp but guess that would cost a fair bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gimlet Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 You could plant an orchard on it and still have the sheep grazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy Galore! Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 can you build on it? if so i'd suggest building as many small units as they'll let you have and letting them, all the money being made is in renting privately, cheap and cheerful, maximized income with minimal outlay.

jayman Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 (edited) I'd give you £2000 a year to train my spaniels on it and just keep some nice short white grass or something with a nice bit of cover and maybe a small rabbit pen. No Hassel No Stress put your feet up and know your land is looked after. They say Spaniel people are the nicest people you can meet.... if you can understand them :-) Edited September 30, 2013 by jayman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
