Bulgaria 15 (Summer 2024): Too hot, hungover, and bitten to make any sense
July 2024 weekly Bulgarian update: temperatures in the 40s, pottering around the house and garden, bitten to buggery. I welcome anti-bug advice. Jungle Formula, Avon Skin So Soft, Johnsons Bug Off stuff, eating Marmite and adding chilli to everything have been failures so far. #bulgaria #bulgarianstory #bulgariavlog #livinginbulgaria #travel #britishinbulgaria #homesteading #ruralliving #wildfire

Bulgaria 14 (Summer 2024): devastating wild fire in our beautiful village
มุมมอง 60912 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา
Tuesday took us by surprise with a terrible fire that's devastated gardens, cars, outbuildings and rural livelihoods. We still can't quite believe it's happened but feel grateful there was no loss of life. #bulgaria #bulgariavlog #livinginbulgaria #wildfire #bulgarianstory #travel #britishinbulgaria #bulgariavillages #ruralliving #homesteading

    Try some essential oils a mixture of lemongrass, clove and lavender oil in a vinegar solution You can also use eucalyptus oil, but I don’t care for the smell of it. It does work. Not sure about what kinds of insects you are trying to repel.

    Happy birthday to Chris! Lovely plums! Aww Nikki I feel for you regarding the insect bites, the biting flies are absolutely evil! I always got badly affected by the bites with swelling, skin tightness and lovely oozing 🤢, whereas Darren just scabs only - then can't stop picking them. We did find that after some years I was less affected, but now that we're moving back again of course I will need to build up some immunity of sorts - not looking forward to it one bit. Shame about the rats eating the pool, what a pain. Would be good to have it full ready for any action for the wildfires, if required, but hopefully not.

      There are, but in the villages people do it anyway. Obviously nobody is daft enough to do it in the high summer, you're not even allowed to use outdoor machinery in a drought. But burning your garden waste in spring and autumn is considered acceptable.
