| A view of Palamartsa |
Village life here in Bulgaria is very different from our life back in Halifax, it is much slower and the people are more self sufficient. As well as having land attached to their houses, where they grow vegtables, some also have land away from the village in a large field.
This field is marked out and they have plot to grow more crops, we have been told that they have to give part of this crop to the land owner - just like Medieval Britain.
Some of the villagers also keep animals, mostly chickens and sheep, some have a few cows as well. They can also use one of the shepherds to take the sheep out of the village in the morning and he or she takes them around on grazing land staying with them all day and when they return in the evening the sheep recognise where they are and leave the flock and 'baa' outside their house to be let in.

We have also noticed the complete lack of traffic noise except for cars passing the house, 1or 2 an hour, and no contrails in the sky from passing aircraft - a landscape photograhers dream!
Lovely to have a progress report. You are missing the the good weather here, and lucky you Royal Wedding hysteria. Love XX
ReplyDeleteHi Megan and Chris
ReplyDeleteAm fascinated with what you're seeing in Bulgaria - sounds so chilled and interesting. Hopefully I'll be able to post this as I've not yet got the hang of this blogging!

Anyway....hope you are both thriving.
