We are still collecting clothes for a local orphange in Debelets, the ages range from 0-4 years. If anyone has any clothing no longer required in good condition and can get it here to me, I will see the orphange gets it.
Shoes, slippers, coats, trousers, dresses, knit wear anything like this is good for them. They could also use bed sheets, small suitable for cots and small beds.
I am planning to visit there in October, the next visit will be in the new year so you have time to collect stuff if you would like to help us and them.
Thank you to all the people who send us stuff out on a regular basis, and for thos who spend time knitting jumpers and the like for them.

Christmas Trip
So the cat is out of the bag!
I have been planning a quick visit to the Uk in December, last year you may know that I arranged for our daughter and her fiance to come over for xmas, will that went down so well. Sally had no idea it was happening until I arrived back from the airport with them! Check out the video on youtube,com.
This year was harder to sort, I have had the car converted to gas and we are planning to drive back in July for Teri and Steve's wedding. So the best idea is to have a test run, I organised that Sally and I would meet Vessie in Veliko Tarnovo for a cold drink and cake in Nedelya, it's our favorite cafe.
When I told them we were going and that Teri and my parents already knew they got a bit exited of course and started talking about shopping, singing around the xmas tree in our village and having my parents make a full xmas dinner. Looks like this year Christmas is going to come early.
The ferry is booked, there is a list of places and people to visit and of course the shopping lists have started! We are also hoping to see a pantomine.
Keep checking here for our progress.

Autumn?
Well yesterday was a lovely day around 25 degrees and bright with lots of sun, however we met a local guy in the market who informed us that this was to be the last warm day and the cooler weather is set to return. Woke up today and guess what? It is still sunny and warm.......still in shorts and t-shirt!
The leaves are beginning to fall though, time to empty the swimming pool and start thinking about tidying up the garden for the winter months. Sally will start to trim her plants and arrange places indoors for them for the winter. It is still nice to be able to sit outside in the evenings and chat with friends, BBQ's are still happening and people are happy, apart from the Bulgarians who seem to think 25 degrees is cold!
We have 5 new chickens to help boost the egg count, so there are now 15 hens and a lovely cockeral, Misty is starting to spend more time indoors, a sure sign the weather is changing, Geri has more energy (unfortunatly) so needs more exercise around the field.
I love the summer, but it is nice to have the winter to look forward to as well, but as good Brit's we moan about the weather any time of the year! Still at least we don't have the rain like back in the UK!
