Sadly we had no guests in August, but it did give us a chance to crack on with work in the living room. I don't remember all the details but I'm sure we saw our friends here... harvested, preserved and ate a lot of veg.... walked the dog... had lots of hot weather and did more hard work!
Making rakia at the local still:
 |
| Our neighbour made us apple vinegar (we helped a bit) - she's the best! |
I'm sure you're already bored of veg garden pics, but it's good for us to see how big it all gets! Especially at this time of year (writing early May) because I'm planting tiny seedlings every day and wondering how they will take up all the space!
 |
| The fennel had blown sideways! |
 |
| Sloes growing around the village |
 |
| Tasting the cider! It was okay! |
 |
| Day in Plovdiv |
 |
| We do have a rest - afternoon at Chirpan pool |
More house updates. Continuing work in the living room and (finally) starting to make indoor stairs! I can't believe we lived so long without them!
 |
| Sanding back the floor |
 |
| Plastering |
 |
| Varnishing the ceiling in the hallway |
 |
| Priming the floor |
 |
| Big old nails! |
 |
| Now we can remove the plastic wall! |
 |
| Open plan living! |
 |
| Floor and windows painted, woodburner corner tiled |
 |
| Staining the beams |
 |
| The stairs 'platform' - made from the old, cut out floorboards |
 |
| Up-cycling an old table from the house |
Thanks for looking! :-)
Yeah a new post. The house is looking good you two. Our garden is starting to bloom too everything grows like mad here especially the weeds. On the downside the birds have already nicked all the cherries off my trees.
