Hey guys, I am Bulgarian who used to live in Bournemouth back in 2005-2006. I worked in BarSo and 1812 just across from the BIC. I really loved Bournemouth and felt really welcome. I hope you find Bulgaria welcoming too as I am sure you will encounter a number of challenges here, as we all do. All the best and good luck!
the little wal loks god! We'll done!!
Hey, guys! I love your journey! You are making massive progress also. As a bulgarian, i hope you are feeling welcomed in our country!
that beautiful walnut tree has massive split so becareful of it, it will eventually split and fail, happy to see it's not super close to house.
This is definitely a tortoise a turtles have flippers
Turtles also live primarily in/close to water
I dont know if you kept the tortoise, but it might be a good idea to take it to the Tortoise Centre. It's a rescue, based in Banya, Burgas area. They can treat and rehabilitate, injured and sick tortoises.
We made a chicken coop on two floors, the first one was with steel bars for them to sleep there and poop below. Cement is placed at the bottom to make cleaning easier. The second floor was of boards and straw so that they could lay their eggs there. don't remove the grass they love grass. Make a path to feed them more easily and collect the eggs. You need to put a high fence net. They jump high. I hope I was helpful to you.❤
Guys! Absolutely incredible how you turned that mess into a clean working chicken coop area! Super well done!
I'm sure that is a Tortoise.
It’s a European tortoise there are millions of them throughout Bulgaria, Greece and Turkey. They are the ones that when we were kids we used to be able to buy them 50p from the shop in England, but they were being transported in inhumane conditions and now they cost about £350-£500 to buy Because they have to be looked after properly and therefore the cost goes up just a quick tip as our totally different species have webbed feet smooth. Low shells made for living in the water and swimming and tortoises spend their life on land with non-webbed feet, high non-aerodynamic shells, they are still everywhere near our house in Turkey and in spring when you go out there are literally thousand under your feet as they are hatched.
Ticks die if you put them in a jar with a bit of ooking oil. If you paint the ticks on the tortoise with a bit of cooking oil,they should fall off. Please be careful of ticks,I know a lot of People here in Spain who got tick fever,,very nasty and can mean hospital stay xx
Hi you guys ..... Im watching from Germany.... all the best to you both ,well done 😊 next time you put a layer of cement on your dry stone wall you could consider Puting some stone on the top of the cement pointing upwards this looks really good 😊
So glad you realised the tortoise is protected. Do you get many snakes in your area? LOL the wall 'discussion' was brilliant, and the didn't turn out too bad either. Looking forward to the next one, don't make us wait so long please.
The tool in the log wood is used to rivet a hand scythe
Also, we have animals that kill chickens Martes foina (белка) look it up. They are ruthless and you have to make sure there are no holes in the coop and a good door.Lock them every night.😊
Your Mrs is full of life! It's beautiful to see. I vaguely remember when my wife used to laugh
Love these videos.
Thanks

Awww so glad you enjoy them 🫶🏻. Thanks for watching and thank you for the compliments.
@@frombournemouthtobulgaria you are so welcome ☺️
Jordan is NOT a kind soul... she is a dark cloud very negative and makes me cringe with all her negative chat
Constantly moaning and chatting 💩... ugly too see.. unresolved childhood trauma
@@RdotStar1Sheesh 🙄 thank you Mr Psychologist. Jordan, you rock!

Greetings from Hull 🤗
Love how you just get on with it and learning as you go.❤
Another great video. Thank you .
Another great episode 👏🏻
Thank you ❤️
Can't wait to see how fruitful was your season with all the veggies, herbs, etc. :) About the wood thingy - I am pretty sure it is used for chopping/splitting wood.
That wall looks great, we’ll done!
Thank you ❤️
👍😀❤️
Just subscribed and wish u the best, guys.
Great series, found you after looking ourselves for a place in Bulgaria. Huge commitment to take on. Hats off to you. Looking forward to the next installment.
Excellent job on the wall well done! 👏
Thank you! Cheers!
Good to see you back, been a while.There are you tube vids for dry stone walling you might like to watch in the depths of winter. Your vids also make me yearn for Spring and summer again. from Tina in Kardam, NE Bulgaria x
What classes as a long time these days 😅. 3 weeks roughly it's been since our last post. You guys need one once a week don't you 😂. God if only I could rattle them out that fast. Don't they just! I cannot wait for the spring to return ❤😩 sick of the cold.
Send the links over to dry stone walking I'd certainly watch. 😊
You seem to be on the edge of your village, even with your dogs there be careful with foxes in the winter months if you let the chickens out, we have had foxes take chickens from our garden in the middle of the village in daylight even with our dogs not far away and donkey in the same paddock as the chickens, winter makes the foxes desperate
I believe the log you found is part of a homemade roller or an earth rammer.
These are the tools I've seen made from a log in Bulgaria.
28:05 Cementie .. lol. Love it…
🤣 The fact that's a genuine conversation/argument....
That's not a turtle!!! 😂😂😂😂
I think that those young trees around the place for chickens are too close to your house, don’t you think guys….? They may damage the foundation of the house - be careful with that. Also keep your chicken closed at night as we have animals that eat chickens like wild animals foxes and …. Don’t know how it would be on English but - белка.
Hi Jordan i hope you checked Flyn for ticks afterwards xx
i think that log /bar is part of a grinding system. Find the stones.
Just found your channel and subscribed. It seems this video was spring time. How did you guys do that previous winter in 2022? Couldn’t see any winter videos. You are still in BG, correct? Hope all is well.
Hey! Yeah we did OK, it was tough. I think if you watch the "we build a bathroom" episode you'll find out that we lost about 3 months worth of footage due to Lewis phone breaking so he couldn't record, and jordans phone didn't upload the videos we took to Dropbox like it was supposed to and then everything on that phone got deleted as we thought they were on a cloud. It was quite sad!
Is it a tortoise I thought turtles live in water x good job you did with ticks ❤
Everydays a school day 😊 you're right
haha tried to get a dry stone walling vid link to you but not clever enough, sorry but there are some good ones, try the yorkshire ones.
Hello I’m in dire need of inspiration and confidence when it comes to moving country and starting a new life just like you have, just subscribed to your channel going to watch it all. Do either of you speak the language? And if not how have you found it being English speakers? Thanks
The tree stump might be for slitting logs
Don’t know if anyone else has mentioned “tiddles” is a tortoise not a turtle 😊
Haha they haven't but they should have! Fae loves peppa
Spike in the tree stump to kill the tree?
If you didn't put cement in between the rocks the wall will eventually fall anyway with the weather over there .
Well, for now it'll have to do. We'll see how long it lasts 🤣
And when you make your first batch you could call it triple B ( Bournemouth to Bulgaria brew?
How long have you been in Bulgaria?
Don't use Roundup please - it has toxic ingredients!!!
Please don't show what will be on this episode, at the beginning. It spoils the surprise. It's a bit like knowing what youre getting for Christmas. By the time you open the present, most of the excitement has gone.
Besides that, I love watching your channel.
The coming up scenes are really important for the episode, and to be able to allow us to attract new viewers. Without it, people who scroll through, won't know what's happening and what were about. They call it a "Hook", so we take the very short clip, and give people a brief overview of what's to come. We never show too much and it's always snippets. We appreciate your feedback, and we're glad you're watching and following our journey.
That turtle is a tortoise, turtles live in water
Everydays a school day 😊
You do know that is a Tortoise... right?... Turtles go in water...
P.s. its not a turtle it's a Tortoise
Everydays a school day 😊
It's a Tortoise not a Turtle 🙂
is there that warm already in january that your in a t shirts or is this filmed last summer?
Hey, no this was filmed in May 😊. We ussually put up the film time at the top of the description but I did forget. All our footage is back dated so we have stuff to work with every month. And plus, we just can't get through everything we have quick enough with everything else going on.
Isn't it a tortoise ?
It’s a tortoise not a turtle so please don’t throw it in the river thinking it will swim.
Didn't see much chicken coop building just a lot of tin rattling.
This only part 1 it does say that in the title 😊. We can only deliver it as its recorded, we can assure the Coop is finished and the footage is recorded. This is a 2-part episode and everything is delivered on the timeline that it was done.
Turtles do not have nails
Everydays a school day 😊
