\stayin alive ??
	Author : graham (---.as43234.net)  posts : 215 Date : 11-21-11 13:23 Just a few words as to the future of this site.Firstly to those who seem intent on ruining it Go Elsewhere,secondly to those who want to retain it Please Post New Topics.Personnaly I miss Gary and his wee windups also his genuine care for Bulgaria.People like June who are always helpful should stay on this site and maybe we can salvage it.I found over the years I have been going to SB that most of the answers I got were very very helpful and any newcomers to this site should have access to same information from people like June ,Manfred and lots of others,so Please keep this site running through winter and then hopefully it will pick up again as we approach season 2012. Remember this is a Bulgarian site NOT British.Finally I may not be on here much for a few weeks as I am due to have surgery but hope to return soon and with a little bit of luck be in SB in 2012. Thanks for reading this and please reply.

	Author : June Fletcher (87.246.8.---)  posts : 475 Date : 11-22-11 08:40 We are very lucky here in the Burgas region still quite warm at night compared to the rest of Bulgaria. Watching the weather last night on the news suprised to see Vidin only going down to -4 as this is usually the coldest part. I was talking to a friend yesterday who had just driven back from the UK and they said that they had driven through freezing fog all the way through Romania and most of Bulgaria until they got to almost Sliven, this is probably why the temps have stayed so low over most of the country. Would you believe that they are still delivering wood in our village very late this year, but no worry for us as we still have a nice stock pile that has built up over the years, and the old wood burns much better. Well its still overcast and grey and the mist has not lifted yet but the sun might and I say might come out later.

No doubt we will have to pay for it.

In the highly unlightly event that I win enough to have a home in Bulgaria I find it very helpfull to hear about out of season living. My all too short visits always wet my appetite for more and people like youself can help fill the winter gap Any insight into Bulgarian life is more than welcome. Regards Allan

	Author : June Fletcher (87.246.8.---)  posts : 475 Date : 11-23-11 08:36 My fingers are crossed for you to win some money, yes you are correct the older the wood the better it burns, as the new will tar up the pipes. We are using wood that is about 3 years old now, as we have about 8 cubic each year which we always have wood left so we have a stock pile. Wood three years ago for 8 cubic was about 300lv plus this year its 600lv we have seen a large increase over the past years in price.
