    Description

    I'm Jane an English woman living in a rural mountain village in Bulgaria with my 3 dogs. I have bought a large property. 2 adjoining houses a barn and 3000 m of land. It's a bit of a project to say the least. So I'm working in England on a month on/off rota saving money to carry on with the renovation work. Whilst I'm at work I need dog lovers to come and look after my 3 small Yorkshire terriers pixie, Charlie and Ruby.

    I live ina rural bulgarian village nestled in the foothills of the mountains. Lovely for walking and relaxing. Surrounded by lavender, sunflower and vine yards in the summer. Bulgarians love making wine! And rakia. Stara zagora city is pretty close and the city of plovdiv is easily accessible and full of culture. There is a bus that runs from the village to the town. Good walks and lovely surroundings and views. Theres a Good bar with pool table also with a garden bar and swimming pool in the summer in the next village. About 2 Kms and can also walk it over the lavender fields. also a great local produce market on wed and Fri in the town of chirpan. For people with vehicles there is a spa hotel 11 Kms from the house in Mogilovo, Stara Zagora is about 40 mins drive and Plovdiv about the same.

    When im at home I have some inside and outside work to do renovating the house. Example i am renovating a room which needs a wall removed and then needs to be plaster boarded plastered etc. There is an old small barn that needs a bit of demolishing. Or always plenty of gardening if you prefer that.

    There are beautiful walks and hikes if you enjoy walking. The next village 3 km away has a great bar with a pool table and garden bar with a swimming pool and free WiFi. Cheap beer and food it's also walkable across the lavender fields The beautiful historic city of Plovdiv with it's Ancient theatre of Philippopolis is about an hour away and has regular buses and trains from chirpan town. It was the city of culture a few years ago and has since become very popular and well worth a visit. There is a bus service from the village into the town of chirpan which is 15 mins drive and has a good food market on weds and Friday selling local grown produce honey eggs milk and more.
    The city of Stara Zagora is about 45 mins drive or a bus or train and lovely for a day out.
