Yes, I had a lot to do after Kerrie left but that didn’t stop me from taking time to enjoy what the village had to offer. Unfortunately for Kerrie, she left just before a couple of wonderful folklore days. It was Easter you see, so there was a day in Miladinovtsi and another day in [...]

As I gazed out the window this morning – I’m snowed in, so doing quite a bit of that – I couldn’t help but notice a vehicle that was sliding it’s way up the road. Actually, it wasn’t the masses of snow or the sliding car that caught my attention, it was the sheer numbers [...]

So much for getting my blog up to date before the New Year clicked over.!! Join me now as I step into my time machine and go back to 2010 and finish up a couple of bits and pieces I’ve been trying to do since before Mia became so ill. Ah yes indeed…..even before the [...]

Now, I’m sure you know me well enough by now to know that I’m not all about work…no matter how busy I am. So when Hristina came to me and asked if I wanted to go away on an overnight stay for another performance of folklore and folk dancing, of course I said yes. I [...]

God, I’m getting told off now for not keeping this up to date, but you have to be kind to me. I have a lot to do and I’ve been doing it. I’ve completely redone the third floor and it looks damned spectacular…even if I say so myself. And I’ve been out picked 5 kilograms [...]

Phew !! Nana’s been a wee bit sick. Bloody hell, I can see why they call it ‘Grip’, it gets a hold of you and won’t let go for love nor money. I’ve even had to take to my bed for extended periods during the day. But like everything in life, one can usually find [...]

Now, where was I ?..Ah, that’s right…in Bulgaria. Once I had put all my reservations about returning the Bulgaria to bed, I just had a terrific time with my sister and everyone else that I had time to catch up with. When I arrived back in the village, clearly the news of my return had [...]

So, here I was in Australia, working, catching up with great friends and my fab family. The work situation was sorted…I had tossed that fateful coin and the decision to take the radio job was made. I had a start date, but I knew there was one thing I needed to do before I started [...]

and so, after one week of some of the most bitterly cold weather I’ve ever experienced, it got warm !!! It’s truly bizarre…..one day freezing, next day standing out in the yard soaking up the warmth like a lizard…..God, it’s great… And though I dont remember planting hundreds of bulbs, I must have, because right [...]

and so we went from deep and crisp and even, to slimy, muddy, damp and downright yukky !!! And every day is now a battle against the black sticky mud that is the soil here when water is added… The weather has actually been quite nice the last couple of days, but we had day [...]
