Goodbye Sunny Albion

At two minutes past eight in the morning a Serbian 7.5 ton truck appeared outside our house ready to load all our worldly possessions into it. It took 4 hours to carefully pack the contents of our house and garage into it plus one motorbike and as many garden plants and trees that I dared to take. Luckily it all just about fitted in and I was thankful that we had paired down our stuff only what we thought we would need in Bulgaria.

At midday, after providing our Serbian driver with directions to our village, we waved him off and looked forward to seeing him on Tuesday when he said he would arrive at our village in Bulgaria. Being that Serbia was next door to Bulgaria we were confident that he more or less knew the way and hoped that he wasn't going to detour to a few car boot sales on the way with our stuff.

 Everything on before the doors are shut

The lorry rounding the corner and on his way.

Of course although our furniture was on its way to Bulgaria, we were still praying that we had a house ready to load it into. However, it wasn't before long before we spoke to Billy who informed us that Bulgaria has had and is continuing to have unprecedented rain which has slowed up the work immensely. We therefore would be staying at JPs house until our house was move in able. Where our furniture will actually go is a mystery at the moment.

 

As you can see the upstairs terrace has been built but the house currently has no roof!
