That means we treat any visitors like the Big
Deal that they are. Neatly folded guest towels? Check. Over-catering? Check. Constantly
offering them a drink every five minutes? Check. Buying enough alcohol to fuel
an 18–30s holiday? Check. Planning activities for every morning, afternoon and
evening like it’s an Everest expedition? Check, check, check.
But you know what? Sometimes the best holiday moments
for visitors are when you’re chilling in the garden, after a lazy morning at
the pool, making homemade pizza and helping the kids (theirs, not ours) toast
marshmallows. Because, sure, a random village in Bulgaria may not be everyone’s
idea of a top holiday destination – but it’s what they’ve come all this way
for. To see where we live, to marvel at the village sheep herd, and
all those little, uniquely Bulgarian things.
A few pics from our friends’ visit last week…

| It certainly helps to have a beautiful, big-ass pool nearby, especially when the temperature tips over into the thirties. This is at the RUI hotel and golf resort in Pravets, just over the mountain from us. |
 |
| Prohodna (Eyes of God) Cave in Karlukovo is a must-see. |
 |
| Any excuse to make like tourists in Sofia. |

| Makeshift fire pit in the garden. |
