I had a 'fish pedicure' once, sitting with my feet in a waterfall fed pond in Thailand. Hundreds of butterflies flittering about and dozens of fish nibbling on my toes. Weirdest feeling in the world lol. Beautiful scenery though. A fond memory you reminded me of!
Great to share such an emotional moment! Also I imagine it can be very stressful when you dive in head first in such a big project. I hope you find a resolution that'll make you happy. I can only tell you that Bulgaria has so many magical places to discover and relax at (such as the simple river shore you enjoyed) that you can stay here for years and travel regularly without the need to always tie yourself to the house. I've been here my whole life and I haven't explored half of it all or even a third or a quarter. There's plenty to enjoy when you're down, no matter the reason.
Thank you 🙏 There's so much beauty to see in Bulgaria..what ever you need to quiet your troubled mind and soul, it's there. The property is amongst the best as far as condition, but we need to learn that we can and should step away and find those tranquil places BEFORE we get so unhappy and torn up. Take care and thanks again
I'm a bit behind with the videos and didn't realise the dilemma you faced over the house. It certainly is a massive project but you have time - and cooler weather hopefully - to make your mark on it. And it's a base for you to come back to. With both your work ethics and your numerous friends you will get there. The only thing I would say is you don't seem to wear gloves and I worry about you getting spells 🤣
We went through the mill with it, Julie, but we're back on track now, so it's all good, thank you ❤️ We wear gloves for a lot of the work, so we're covered most of the time for splinters 😉👍❤️
touched my heart that you honoured your friend and by doing that you included his family in letting him sore with the wind...you deserve all the luck in the world bless yous on new chapter in your. Life's
Thank you Kevin, I'm sure he'll have been smiling down on that one 😊 I hadn't realised how much dust there was in the cupboard until I started taking it apart and seeing it back on video is certainly an eye opener.. 👍
Thank you so much 😊🙏 It turned out so well up there..the weather, the wind and the fact that we could contact Patty and Anji that day too..so glad it all came together.. 👍
I hope the break re-charged your batteries, gave you time to plan and think Karen and Phil. Broight a tear to my eye watching you scatter your friend Ray; what a lovely thing to do. Miss ya both, love ya both. Xxx
The break gave us time to think and discuss what we actually wanted to do with our lives, certainly Mandy..it was simply nice to get away from both the heat and the constant daily graft.. Ray would have been looking down on us with a smile I'm sure..he loved flying and it would have been a great place for him there.. ❤️ Love back to you both..hope you're doing well 🙏🥰 xxx
Hi there guys,It's the guy that greeted you in Praktiker today.I did not want to disturb you.That's why my greeting was so quick and cringy lol.I admire your work and would love to see more videos. What you are doing will pay off at the end! It is weird because I've just started watching your videos about 3 weeks ago and then I meet ya in Praktiker. I am based in Apriltsi so we were just doing a small trip for the day in the area. Wish you much fortune whatever the perspective. Sincerely Daniel.
Hi Daniel, thank you for the comment 🙏 I'll admit I was a little shell shocked when you said hi..I know people watch but I never really expect to bump into them..lol 🤷🏻♂️ Thank you for the encouragement..it means a lot 😊 If we bump into each other again, feel free to come and chat, it's no bother.. I hope that your day was a good one..take care.. Regards Phil
You two are the most beautiful souls , what a great gift to give to your friend and his family ❤ Gorgeous spot to rest up in, hope you found the clarity that you need to continue. Sending love to you both and to Sharon for all the help too. ❤🎉xxx
Thank you so much Maria..Ray would have loved his send off, I'm sure.. 🙏❤️ The river stop certainly gave us some clarity..we had a good few days away in total, although I didn't really film much at that point..I don't really film when I'm stressed.. Love back to you and I hope you're staying warm now.. Take care ❤️ xxx
You've done so much at the house, you need to try and relax too and enjoy everything. Teared up when you released your friends ashes, such a lovely thing to do xx
Thank you Zoe, we didn't really take any time to relax until we drove away from the house and it was such a relief when we did..just to realise that we could do that was amazing. Ray would certainly have approved of his send off..he was very much into flying as a pastime and the views from up there are stunning.. Take care 💜 xx
Really good crisis management guys! You did so so much in really short time, so well - deserved break! I also want to say locals will do nothing but hide inside between 1 and 4 pm in the summer. I hope you are feeling a bit better, and if i can say something from my humble experience, there isn't a right or wrong decision, there is something wright in every decision, just sometimes it takes time to see it. I remain positive and send a good vibes. See you soon!
Thank you so very much..I guess we were just focussed on each task and it was hard to take the time that we should have for ourselves. The heat certainly takes it's toll, especially as we aren't really used to it.. Take care 😊🙏
Watch out for the burn out absolutely. Great to hear brutal ,honest truths. We know its not all celebrations and success doing what your doing, taking a house from what it was to your minds eye. A breather will do you the world of good.
I can see how your land could be overwhelming. Just clear out the shite and renovate what you need for now. Then just a bit at a time. Do you have a Dedemans near you? Their stores were one of my Romanian highlights.
That's exactly what we should have been doing Kieth..I think we simply got carried away and bit off more than we could chew.. Not heard of Dedemans at all..just did a Google maps search and it looks like they're a Romanian thing.. 🤷🏻♂️ Take care and safe travels to you mate.. 🍻😊👍
Buzludzha is the monument that represents the current situation in the country. In 1984, when I was in elementary school, I was on Buzludzha, and at that time it was brand new, it looked very, very good. The monument was built with voluntary donations from the Bulgarians, the communists who ran it looted and destroyed it. This simply shows that they were pseudo-communists as we are now ruled (robbed) by pro-Western pseudo-democrats. In 1989 we were almost 9 million, now we are actually at half. That's why there are so many empty houses. The Bulgarians got tired of being ruled (robbed) by pseudo-communists and pseudo-democrats, and many people simply left everything behind and left for the world. If you don't like the translation that Google's artificial intelligence made, don't use autopilot in modern cars. It is very likely that autopilot has the "intelligence" of google translate
Thank you so much Philip 🙏 Leaving the house behind was very much needed and it gave me the time to give Ray the sendoff I'd promised. The decision was made over the next few days.. Take care
What a gorgeous country Bulgaria is!! No wonder you both wanted to get away for a bit. Must have been exhausted! And good to just chill for a bit. Plus the pedicure would have somewhat less expensive than in the UK. 😃 Stay safe you two.
We were totally whacked out, yes.. 🤷🏻♂️ Haha! I daren't think how much a fish pedicure might cost in London..lol 😂 Bulgaria is a stunning country indeed, very underrated by some, but if you see the varied landscapes and surroundings, you'll fall in love.. 👍 Take care you two and safe travels to you 🙏
Thank you Stefania 🙏 Moving into any property, never mind such a large property was always going to be a big step, seeing as we've lived in the van for 2 and a half years..quite daunting really in some respects. 💜😻💜
So beautiful mountains
They are stunning..so much cooler and such a relief from the heat we had been working in 🥵
I had a 'fish pedicure' once, sitting with my feet in a waterfall fed pond in Thailand. Hundreds of butterflies flittering about and dozens of fish nibbling on my toes. Weirdest feeling in the world lol. Beautiful scenery though. A fond memory you reminded me of!
Sounds idyllic.. 🙏💜 🫶
So glad it was a stunning memory, not some Jaws (we're gonna need a bigger boat) flashback.. 🤔🤷🏻♂️😂👍

Nice vid, whereabouts (roughly now) is this absolute land grab of yours?
Thank you mate 😊🙏 Pavlikeni area 👍
@@LillaHusVanlife Ahhh, that's where you are, I was over in Resen when I bumped into you both..! Not too far away.
Hope the break and saying goodbye to a friend helped you make the right decision for yourselves, good luck whatever you go with
