    Very important update... as of June 11th 2023.
    We need someone ( anyone ) to come and help us keep the lawns tidy
    so if you can hold a weed-whacker ( they arent that heavy are they )
    How soon can you get here !

    Hello Everyone, Our names are Annette and Chris, and we have now moved on from Spain, to a even sunnier Bulgaria, and yes, they actually get 300 Days of Sunshine here.
    When we left Spain, we drove up through Spain into France, and stopped off in Monte Carlo Then we drove into Italy, and stopped off in Venice for a couple of Days,
    ( but do you know what, they wanted to charge us 28 Euros for one cup of Coffee in St Marks Square ) CHEEK !
    we then left Italy and because we had Max with us, ( he was our very beautiful German Shepherd ) we decided to stay within the EU, SO instead of driving into Croatia we drove up in to Austria, and then into Hungary, we then drove in to Romania and stopped off at Dracula's castle, ( but he wasn't home that Day )
    we then crossed over the river Danube in Bulgaria and here we are.

    We have now bought a lovely little secluded farm near Byalla, in the Ruse district.
    ( that's about 50 km from the Romanian Frontier )

    We are also not slave drivers, that's to say, we wont work anyone too hard, maybe 3 hours a Day maximum.
    ( it really gets too hot to do much more )

    We have absolutely no problem of Gender,

    We now have a menagerie of Animals...and we love them all.
    We did have 2 beautiful Shetland ponies ..........Frankie, and Freddy.
    But they were both taken from our Front coral whilst me and Chris were out shopping.
    we have of course reported it to the local Police, and posted reward posters all over our village... but as yet... nothing,
    There is a very large Animal fair in KAMEN next Month... so we havent given up hope yet
    6 Chickens........................so fresh eggs everyday.
    ( at the last count I currently have 140 eggs and getting 6 more everyday )
    10 ducks.............................fresh duck eggs everyday as well.
    2 rabbits .... May and Sparkle.
    Unfortunately, Max our very beautiful German Shepherd died last June,
    and we now have 3 Bulgarian Dogs..... Abi, Bessy and Arab.
    and, last but not least.....cat, and her 2 kittens, Tiger and Scary, we also found a tiny kitten up a tree and brought her home and named her
    kit-e-kat.

    so...anyone wishing to come and help....must like animals.

    Thank you all.

    Annette and Chris.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    You will have your own bedroom, with a double bed in it. but you will have to share the bathrooms.....( 2 ) and the wet room ( shower room )
    However, only the bathrooms and wet room ( shower room ) have real doors, all the other rooms only have privacy curtains.
    the reason we installed privacy curtains is that sometimes...MAX liked to wander around making sure everyone is fine.....No other reason at all.

  • What else ...

    What else ...
