Well I think the above says it all. The land owner now has other plans for the land and on those grounds has decided to reject our offer.

the plan

Long term we want to build some accomodation for the young people to stay in and a communal area. We would love to be able to live there too and maybe provide a couple of affordable houses for locals. Arround this we want productive and sensual gardens. We would also like to keep a few animals, chickens, sheep, goats and a couple of pigs maybe. With the idea that parts of the garden and the animals would earn thier keep by producing crops, eggs, wool etc. We would love to set it up in a sustainable way practically and financially. It would be wonderful if at some point young people could find employment here. Possibly tying in with another dream I currently have to set up a cafe, canoe and bike hire centre all run by and for young people. Which would to allow them to gain experience and qualifications.

We have just submitted an offer to the owner of the field, in a way that we could see our way to pay. Please pray. Very much feeling if they are not interested in this we may have got it all wrong.
