According to the calendar it’s been 3 months since I last posted anything but for me it’s been just over a month. I spent November and December in the UK so there was nothing for me to write about. I thought there wouldn’t have been much done when I got back, mainly because every time I looked at facebook Joe…
Chopping, scratting and juicing
I keep meaning to write a blog post roughly every month, but yet again time has just flown by and I realise it now more than 2 months since my last post, so with the weather being a bit over cast and dull it’s an ideal time to get caught up on what we’ve been up to which has basically…
What a wet summer
Firstly I must apologise for not answering some of your comments and posts, there’s no excuse really just that I’ve been having a bit of a computer free time. So after a really nice and sunny May, June and July were one thunder storm after another. Most days even if we didn’t get rain we could hear thunder storms in…
Living room, sorted!

Usually the fire in the living room also warms our bedroom as well, but with having no ceiling in the living room we obviously…

It started when the electric company came around the village to trim any trees that looked like they were going to interfere with the power lines. In the past they have given them a bit of a trim, only removing any long branches but this year they have…
The lead up to very different Xmas
Since moving to Bulgaria we have had a lot of new experiences and this Xmas was another to add to the list. Friends of ours in the village are moving next year so this is their last Xmas in the village and they wanted to make it a time to remember. The plan was to have close friends around for…
A bit of a long post
Autumn has finally arrived, not that you would notice apart from the leaves dropping from the trees and covering the ground. The weather has been very mild apart from a touch of frost on the morning of the 1st November that finished off our peppers, aubergines and fig tree for the year. The temperature drops when the sun goes down…
