Three days left before we have to go back to chilly UK!  Had a productive day cutting the vines back and mounding them up for Winter  thanks to our Bulgarian neighbour who kept us right!  We have learnt so much.  I had no idea how prolific aubergine and pepper plants were.

Work on the other house is moving along windows and doors all now in.  Drainage pipes and then concreting floors will be the next job.  Paid the Council Tax for the year on both properties about £55!!

Tomorrow night we are going out with some of our Bulgarian friends - I reserved a table for eight in my best Bulgarian and gained a clap from the restaurant owner!!!

Now off to cook - everything bar the meat from our own garden - so what are you waiting for come on out it's great!!!

Another bright sunny day!!  As I write, my other half is digging away in the garden ready for Winter.  Before we leave for UK it will all be turned over ready for planting in Spring.  Still have some peppers and aubergines to pick.  A friend gave me a great recipe for aubergine meat balls - delicious.

 So, back to UK at the end of the month for 3 months to help out on the farm when required and, visit all our family around the UK. Can't wait until we can hand over the farm completely!!!

We have sold the other house now but will be here to oversee the renovation - our first project!!!

Catch you later better go and look busy!!
