Well it now seems that the year has really kicked off, with the warmer weather more and more people are now realising how attractive Bulgaria is. Sales are expected to increase during the summer months so prices will be rising as well. But the descerning client can bag a bargin or two. I have heard of a whole village for sale, OK, it's 10 - 15 properties requiring renovation, but imagine a gated road, a club house, manicured gardens, a swimming pool, tennis courts and a small shop. The possibilty to have a small village with around 20 properties, developed to UK standards, if someone were to buy this, they could choose who to have as neighbours!
Beer is still 60p a pint, cigerettes around a pound a packet, council tax an meare 20 pounds a year. Long hot sunny summers and cold snowy winters.
What more could you ask for?

Easter Chicks
One of our ideas was always to have some chickens of our own, fresh eggs for breakfast, how nice. When "Minty" was slaughtered we spoke to one of our nieghbours who promised to get us some chicks in May. May 1st arrives and a buzz from the door bell......our nieghbour standing there with a small box and 10 one day old chicks! very nice, but we now have to wait some time before my fresh eggs arrive. They look lovely and cute, not sure how Sally will feel when it's time for these guys to have thier neck pulled.
Today I have moved the compost heap to make room for a chicken run, Shane has found some posts in the garden and stripped the wire from them, with some help from his young lady, Abi.
It appears that now is the start of the "giving" season, the locals turn up at your gate and call you over. They give you lettuce, tomatos, cucumber, eggs, etc throughout the season. It's very nice of them, but when you try to give them something back, they come around again with another item for you, so it goes on.
The weather is warming up, some slight drizzle, but we need this for the gardens, the flowers and veg patch are coming on a treat.
Keep looking for the progress of the chickens!
