    Keeping schtum for now. I will tell you 12 acres, mostly grazing (although currently free range chooks) but about a coppice worth of woodland, which I'll convert to willow once moved in.

    You can see the sea from one part of the land.

    No idea on handouts as yet, but will look into it.
    Well, this goes back to the eighties but a neighbour who bought a farm back then found the Forestry Commission Very Helpful when it came to planting willows.

        Sounds like they have really taken to you in the South Hams then. First impressions are fairly pivotal south of Totnes, and I suppose that is where your slack jaw and vacant expression have really come up trumps!
        Once you get fitted out for that smock there will be no holding you!!
