Hi well we finally arrived in Ekzarh yosif in Bulgaria our new home on Wednesday afternoon after three and a half days of travelling. We got to the villiage and to the temporary house where a welcoming committee was waiting. They helped us unload the van and bring everything in to the house. The house consists of one bedroom bathroom kitchen front room and dining area it is nice and warm and we have internet and cable tv so its not really ruffing it.
In the villiage all the locals are really friendly and everytime we go out they smile and wave to us and give us fruit and veg we have boxes of it now but you just cant say no. they all speak to us in Bulgarian and when you try and explain that you dont understand they still just keep talking. We seem to be picking up a little bit of the language now although Ken is doing better than me probably because he goes down the local bar more than i do and he talks with the locals they all know him now and he has become the arm wrestling champion of the bar when we go in there they all call his name. Everything is so cheap here to go out to the bar for a drink for the two of us costs around £2.50 you just cant belive it.
We have met some really nice English families who are living in the villiage and they just cant do enough to make us feel settled they have even invited us round for Christmas dinnier which is nice although it wont be the same as being with our families.
Ginger and Bailey our two dogs have settled in really well ginger is spending her retirement years laying on the porch snoozing and bailey who now thinks he is the king of the manor has a girlfriend who comes to call for him every day and off he goes and doesnt come home until he is hungry.
