Back

Hi Guys and girls,
For all of those avid readers, I am back from the back of beyond, oh and Bulgaria.
I had the best time ever. My man and I bought a 21Ft caravan and towed this along with some of our possessions on the roof rack through seven countries to our destination. This took around 4 days, sleeping the caravan on the way.
The only problem we had going over was in Slovenia, when we fueled up. The fuel had an excessive amount of water in it, which meant several stops to try and sort out the problem, which new man being as fab as he is, did. We ate up the countries, France, Germany, Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, then finally into Bulgaria.
We got to our unlivable property then tried to get the caravan in on the property which was impossible, so we had to leave it and sleep on the road outside. Until we had taken down the chicken coop, fence etc.
The next five or six weeks were working 24/7. It took us three days to get the water and electric turned on. From then on, we organise roofers and got the property re roofed, electrician for the whole property to be rewired. This included sourcing materials, which was all good fun considering we could not speak the language.
Whilst we were there the list of jobs we got through was unnatural, new fence, outside pointed and patched, chimney taken down, window taken out, whole property painted outside, including gate and garage doors, rooms cleaned, and painted. This all whilst the temperatures were around 35 plus most days.
Go back, you bet, cant wait to start on improving the inside now!!.
