Everything looks really good. You are making excellent progress. You were smart to live in the house before renovating the whole thing. This way you learn how you use each room and can create the spaces your family will be happy with. Thanks for sharing your beautiful home with us. Best wishes from Canada.
Thanks Diane! We can't wait to get into the other side of the house when the weather warms up to build our kitchen and dining area. This summer will be so fantastic. Thanks for supporting us 💕🙏✨
@@Onegreentruck thank you! Yes, lots of jealousy from other people out here and in the UK. Very sad to troll a nice young family who are trying to improve their life isn't it? Thanks for your support - it means the world 💕
Good job guys. I've been living in Bulgaria since 2010 in a small village. Practicing organic gardening and permaculture. Im near to plovdiv.i have two boys who have a lot of freedom.amazing country. Good luck and you're very welcome here. Kind regards Justin
How lovely to see your progress ;) I am so happy to find a channel like yours who shows the reality rather than beautiful and made up scenes. It is very rare and you brought such a fresh air to it. People think that they have to pretend , and shows only the amazing places, but what you are showing its natural and inspiring in the same time ;) One day everything will be finished , but you will remember your hard work and your effort ;) Lots of love xxx
Another great video! Indeed a massive progress specially considering having two kids and a job! Plus it’s winter 🤞🏻🏠 your home look very cosy and peaceful! Greetings from Varna (ex Maidstoner )
Hey guys ive just found your channel in here . Glad to see you you are trying to live in Bulgaria, i am from city near by VT . Just try to avoid big chains shops and try find any farm market or village market and buy from there from local people vegetables. Take care and keep smiling
Lol we had an escape artist too, little devil would case the boundary for weak spots, and as soon as we went inside or got occupied and not watching she would make her escape. We had a German Shepherd who could easily jump the fence though and never tried escaping ever. You're making a house into a home, it's coming along really nicely. The good weather is no doubt helping.
She's a nightmare thought it does make me laugh. Ivy is so much chunkier that you can see where she has escaped because there is a large tunnel 🤣 I think we need to build some proper kennels!
Beautiful and caring mother and modern father and so beautiful kids, they are growing slowly. Your house is becoming more and more beautiful because you are investing lots of love and details. Spring will soon be here and will be easier for you. This is your house and land and NO one will take it from you. Uff, house work almost never ends and can be a pain in the ar*se. Bulgaria is lush because it also has so much rain and sunshine. We used to have very cold winters especially when I went to the uni in the early 2000s, in the past, but guess the climate is changing everywhere. Your house is very nice, maybe one day you can afford and open an additional Airbnb with this Balkan, Mediterranean, English, medival style. I mean it was 17ºC I think in Burgas this weekend.
She is an acrobat 😆 and very clever! I have to do a lot of training with her to keep her occupied. I'll definitely look at getting a camera! Sending love from Bulgaria to Aus! 😊💕
I like your videos, you are doing a great job! My family wanna buy a home in Bulgaria too. My dad likes a small village in this video, can you please tell us where it is? ❤
@@the_phoenixprojecttake a look around your village and see how many locals store their wood outside their boundary........ I lived in Bulgaria for many years.. You should always be protective of what you own.... But enjoy your adventure you'll love it...... Lekanosht
Hi can you send me Alex's or whatever the fella is called who you bought the property from I'm coming or next week and want to see a property I can buy cheers chris
@@the_phoenixproject cheers I haven't really It will be the house that decides we're i move to that's why I'm coming with the kids for ten days too have a look and spend some time there
Watch our other videos and you will see me practicing Bulgarian (look at RUclips Shorts). We can both read, write, and speak basic Bulgarian after just 5 months. It is our passion! 💕🇧🇬 Наздраве! 🎉🥰
@@the_phoenixproject When you will learn Bulgarian, you will also understand maybe 60% written Russian but not that spoken, 95% Macedonian and maybe 50% Serbo-Croatian. Forget about Polish and Czech because they are quite different but there are still Slavic words in common. Do not complain, we are the only Slavic language (with Macedonian) that dropped the cases and so phonetic so it is a blessing for a foreigner but you all get "scared" to see Cyrillic everywhere. Once you learn the alphabet will quite easy to read and understand. Our grammar is not that complicated like Russian or Polish, but the verbs can be a pain in the ar+se. We have borrowed German, French, Italian and obviously old Ottoman words. Many words can also be like in English but with a twist e.g. constitution - конституция, repetition - репетиция, hotel - хотел, post office - поща like in French, etc, etc. You see? Not impossible to learn like Chinese or Arabic hahahah
@@kosmicheskiprah I'm enjoying learning (I've been learning for almost a year on and off) and I have my first lesson with a tutor next month! Wish me luck 😆
@@the_phoenixproject All the best of luck! I think Bulgarian sounds very nice even most Slavs admit it and not saying this because I am Bulgarian. However, it is different because of our geography. We have Latin, Greek, Byzantine, Ottoman, Russian influences and we originally came from Asia. The old Bolgars not Bulgarians. It is just a mess hahaha We simplified the language. Btw, teaching English to the locals is also a very good idea :D Who knows? Maybe Popovo becomes bilingual in 15 years time and you teach their mayor English hahahahahahah Sorry, just find this very entertaining :D :D
@@kosmicheskiprah haha my neighbours have zero interest in learning English and tell me it's my job to learn Bulgarian 😆 I have to agree. They are funny and I love it here 💖
just get a bulgarian sheperd dog,for garden and will not afraid,from predators.Dog know wat to do to scare them,just put the pupy sleep with hjkens and will guard them,as family to :)

Totally agree that living in the house prior to renovation is the best way if possible.
Welcome to Bulgaria ! You`re doing a great job ! Now it`s your place ! ♥♥♥♥♥
Благодаря ти много 🥹💕🙏❤️ наздраве 🥂🎉🇧🇬
Such a lovely family deserves to experience BG in full.❤🎉

Don't allow anyone trolling you in BG, when me and family were back from UK we experienced a lot of resistance. Never give up.

Do you have water in your village? I have heard a shortage is widespread, any alternate to cover that shortage?
It is coming along lovely - you are both making great progress x
Thank you! Just think of what we can achieve in the summer if this was done in winter! 🥰💪💖

Yes we would love to purchase the house and land nextdoor for this purpose. Thank you for your kind words! 🙏💕
Thank you for sharing, your house is really coming along nicely! My hubby and I just bought a copy of your ebook, looking forward to reading it🥰
How wonderful 😊 Let us know how you get on! ❤
good job guys!
Thanks! ☺️❤️🙏✨
Lovely vid guys. Best of luck x
Thank you! Wishing you guys all the best 🤗💕💖
Maybe to check on how Holly is getting out put up a camera that connects to your phone? Good job so far. Central Victoria Australia 🇦🇺
She is an acrobat 😆 and very clever! I have to do a lot of training with her to keep her occupied. I'll definitely look at getting a camera! Sending love from Bulgaria to Aus! 😊💕
The double windows in the living room are really cool. Is that traditionally for insulation?
I guess so! I'm not sure! It's a great place for growing plants at the moment! 😆💖
Добре дошли 🙂. Много работа сте свършили, но на село има много работа 🙂. Запознахте ли се със съседите. 🙂🍷❤❤
Which part of the country you are in? Looks like a mountain.
what about security? can you keep a fire arm? is it allowed if you are on TRP.
You can but you need to acquire a license.
I like your videos, you are doing a great job!
My family wanna buy a home in Bulgaria too. My dad likes a small village in this video, can you please tell us where it is? ❤
We live in a village near Popovo 🙂
@@the_phoenixproject great thanks!
Popovo is really lovely and there are lots of villages surrounding the town. Good luck! Успех! 🍀☺️
What happened to the rescued puppy, is he still with us?
Do you mean the first puppy? She is in our latest video. We have two - Ivy and Holly.
U put glasses in those gold holders
Yes I thought so! 🙂💕
I would strongly advise you store your supply of wood inside your boundary......
Why? We live in a very remote area. If anyone comes down here the wood will be the last thing they will try to steal. The wood is fine outside.
@@the_phoenixprojecttake a look around your village and see how many locals store their wood outside their boundary........
I lived in Bulgaria for many years..
You should always be protective of what you own....
But enjoy your adventure you'll love it......

Hi can you send me Alex's or whatever the fella is called who you bought the property from I'm coming or next week and want to see a property I can buy cheers chris
Where are you looking to buy? Our agent was Veselin Valchev from Ideal Homes in Veliko Tarnovo.
@@the_phoenixproject cheers I haven't really It will be the house that decides we're i move to that's why I'm coming with the kids for ten days too have a look and spend some time there
The outside walls of the house needs pointing, or completely plastered.
Yes agreed! It's getting done this summer 🌞
New bulgarian peoples :)))) You must also learn bulgarian language.The Bulgarians go to England and the English to Bulgaria .
