It is said that a picture paints a thousand words. You will have read some things about village life here in rural Bulgaria, but until you have seen it, it can be difficult to fully appreciate it. As I was going through my Facebook photo albums I rediscovered this light hearted look at our village. Some of you might remember these pictures from a couple of Summers ago, but they will be new to the majority of you. So without further ado I ask you to join me on a guided tour of our village.
 |
| Hidden away in the depths of rural Bulgaria........ |
 |
| We find the village of Paisii ........ |
 |
| Or should that be Paisiy ....... |
 |
| Where a warm and sunny welcome awaits you ....... |
 |
| There is constant running water, 12 months of the year, even if they use it as the local launderette ........ |
 |
| Gaze in awe at some of the local wildlife ........ |
 |
| But don't get too close ..... |
 |
| You can find solace in the local church, when it's open ..... |
 |
| Or just enjoy the peace and quiet ....... |
 |
| On the right there is the Post Office (Tuesdays and Thursdays only) |
 |
| Or the Pensioner's Club, which also holds the Doctor's surgery on a Wednesday morning ..... |
 |
| Stroll amongst the farm machinery, and not a Massey Fergusson or John Deere in sight |
 |
| Take a gentle walk up the main street to the local shop ..... |
 |
| It might be pink, but they are friendly and helpful inside, but beware of the local loo on the left (not for the faint hearted or for those of a nervous disposition) ...... |
 |
| Come and meet the locals (calm yourselves ladies) ..... |
 |
| You can always try to hitch a ride ..... |
 |
| Paisii welcomes careful drivers ...... |
 |
| But try to avoid the rush hour |
