Well, we have been in the UK for three weeks during August. Just before we left I ordered 8 beers and a coke in our local bar, it cost 10 Lev (£4),during our stay we went out for dinner at a public house, I ordered a coke and an orange juice...£3.60. I almost asked the barman to check that I was not paying for the whole bar's drink's, but then remembering where I was, rip off Britain!
The weather was mild, but with plenty of the wet stuff. Family and friends made the trip worth it, but it does remind you why your living in Bulgaria. Long hot summers and cold short winters, real seasons.
Sally broke a tooth, so a dentist was needed, an appointment was made and her tooth mended, just £165, they say it could have been worse!
Arriving back home was lovely, 9pm we pulled up at our house and the neighbours were out sitting on their benches chatting, they all came over to welcome us back. They watered our garden and fed the chickens, it was nice to be home.
There is a word of warning though to anyone intending to come over to live here, it's nice to go back, but it tug's the heart strings when you leave family again!
Now it's time to ensure the wood is cut up ready for the winter and order the coal in, the grass needs cutting and the dining room requires decorating, it's nice to be home!

Red Cross Parcels
Over the course of our stay here in Bulgaria we have been very lucky to have had a lot of visitors, family, friends and client's ( new friends).
I would like to take this oppertunity to thank everyone who has brought us over what we call "Red Cross Parcels", these are good's that we miss from the UK, thing's that include, Cheddar Cheese, Pork Pie's, Sausages and Frostie's for our son Shane.
Sally's mum even post's us a parcel every couple of weeks, we even get a couple of English newspapers!
Life does go on with out these items, but you cannot believe how much we appriciate these foods for a change.
In the UK we all take everyday foods for granted, it's not until you cannot get them that you miss them.
So a big thank you to one and all.
