The farmer did not sell us the house and we have been back to our Notaire who confirms that he has no legal right of way over the garden. We have tried to keep things civil with the farmer at the moment but the last time we at the property the bull had crashed through the fence on our boundary and prompltly died on our front garden. The farmland is actually owned by the local hospital and it is our intention to buy the framland once it comes available - basically when the framer dies. looks like we need to sit this one out - anyway he bought us a bottle of his local brew the last time we were there, apparently he is the only one in the area who has a licence to brew alcohol
