Field.
I bought a field. I don't know what I would do with a field, as I have no animals to graze on it, no desire to spend many months clearing it to plant vegetables, or need to camp on it as I live within walking distance of it.

I wouldn't get planning permission to build on it, and frankly its not in a particularly desirable area anyway. I doubt anyone would want to buy it from me for the same reason.

But yet I have a field and it makes me feel all Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstallish despite the obvious lack of homesteadiness.

Whereabouts are you?

Can I search it with my metal detector?

A service to the local community sir!
You might not want to camp on it & know & accept that it does not have planning permission, but we have 9 famillies of "travellers" on a local agricultrural field, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, in the greenbelt that is currently being covered in hardcore & caravans -

Please don't sell your land!!!!

Thanks!

P.S I love the Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstallish feeling you describe, I have most of his cookbooks!
