    Not sure I like the look of the drainage in those fields.

    That is a real horsey worry!

    The price of our field has gone up ten grand...our neighbour is desperate for it - 5 horses on five boggy acres.

    Is that the field you want or the field you own?
    Paid off mortgage nine years early in 2013. Now picking and choosing our work to fit in with the rest of our lives!
    Still thrifty though, after all these years:D

    Semi joking but now Mrs Neighbour has revealed the extent of her desperation...

    Blimey, that listing seems awfully "cheap", Alchemilla! Four bedrooms, 6 acres, stables and a portakabin ... of course, its a semi, not a detached, and I'm guessing people who make that move want detached?

    Seems a crazy price compared to £400,000 for a very ordinary two bed flat in Walthamstow!

    Oh goodness yes.

    I think its all about employment though. The average salary here was 17k BEFORE the recession.

    So lots of commuters, I imagine locals don't own unless they've been around for generations?
