Gamekeepers cottage, lol it still is really, not ours only rented from a large estate. We have a small field in the front and land at the side, on which we breed and rear mallard ducks. We incubate them ourselves and rear as many as we can well I say we, OH's hobby. He is into game shooting and enjoys rearing his ducks, hard work but it helps pay the bills. Not my cup of tea but I believe everyone should do their own thing.
