You sound exactly like me. We live next to a field and spend ages gazing at it and planning where I would put the cowshed, where I'd plant my spuds, where we'd put the pigs and where we'd sink a borehole with a wind powered pump if the field belonged to us. We have various plans but as you say land prices are high which makes it all difficult.

Hiya, and welcome to SSish!
Yes, I'm good at dreaming that particular dream, too. Mind you, I'd have to give up the job if I had all that - can't even keep up with my current garden etc. No problems with a courgettes glut, though - they seem to be having a break from production.
