After many moths of trying to get funding for this we finally signed for it last Friday.

Click on the red thing above the word Immingham.
Its called Church Farm.

I will still have my allotment on the land so am I still welcome on here?

What a lovely place!  You've even got kennels and a cattery and so much land - you're going to be very busy!

oh lovely, congratulations.  ;D
Please don't be offended by my nickname 'Mortality'
As to its history it was the name of a character I played in an online game called 'Everquest'
The character 'Mortality Rate' was a female Dark Elf Necromancer, the name seemed apt at the time and has been used alot by me over the years.

I am green with envy ;D

Well done, hope everything goes smoothly and more importantly you have lots of fun!
Smile at your enemies.

It makes them wonder what you are up to.

Now why on earth would you go and do that when you could buy a two bedroom flat in the road next to mine for the same money!!  :P ;)

Looks great - I and a large number of us are green with envy - so you may get the odd sniping comment - but it is only out of envy - not nastiness.

What a bargain!  Aren't you lucky.  Living the dream that most of us have or have had.  I am now too old for such a project but will be really interested to see how you do!

Good luck with the move!
