Reasons to Be Bulgarian… Naz-dra-vee!
Bulgaria… a paradise that’s maybe a bit rough round the edges. This beautiful country may not be perfect but it’s the perfect home for me and Priyatelkata. We could never live anywhere else. I took my inspiration from Hristo Botev, my lovely neighbours and Ian Dury.

Hawkwind

Hello Jenny.
The garden's tidy now but very bare. A rake, a shovel and a wheelbarrow was all we needed to do the job.
I hope Hawkwind fans won't be disappointed to learn that Priyatelkata's follow up single was Pasta Dutchie From...

Nice one Paul. Your coincidental things would all be funny if they weren't such a scarily accurate description of the awful reality. And Sunak's still got a week to go so there's a strong possibility you'll have enough material for episode...

It's really sad. There aren't many leaves on the trees and their aren't many birds around since the storm. It's very quiet in a garden normally filled with birdsong. I'm hoping they've gone somewhere else but I have some doubts about their...

New shoots
