Cold and snowy but warm doing piggy choresTwo goat carcasses hanging in garage – two young male goats we raised over winter… never again with goats!!Beautifully bleak road out of our villageSnow all around but in a little hay covered nest there were 3 duck eggsThe geese still need their swim, whatever the temperature is LOLMy first attempt at butchery – goat being cut up for freezerPaddock raked and picked over for stones and wood as soon as the snow had goneSame stone removal / raking in the fodder field, but we found some huge immovable rocks just under the surface
Hello Tracey, thank your your comment. Please forgive me for the slow response. I have only this week started to review and update the website – and had some technical issues with the site and with my brain! Sadly I have Stage 4 brain Cancer, but I have decided to use updating the website as mental and emotional therapy – so thank you again for forcing my hand a bit.
Alekovo is a lovely little village. Not posh at all. It is well located to both the big administrative centre (Veliko Tarnovo) and the smaller municipal hub in Svishtov – a lovely middle class well kept town on the banks of the Danube with a wide range of bars, restaurants, a reasonable hospital with a good English speaking GP.
Me, my wife and my son are 3 of the 7 foreigners in the village – An American couple and the rest are all English. The village has a well respected kindergarten and junior school which serve other villages in the close area. We have an excellent supermarket, an excellent hardware store which is incredibly helpfully run, another smaller supermarket that has a bar behind it (I have only ever been in the bar twice in 6 years).
I don’t really pay attention to people selling houses etc… but send me a link if you have one for the property so I can go see or just put it in context.
There are 3 or 4 large farms around the village, mainly growing cereal crops for the national and international markets, which I personally find fascinating.
Please feel free to keep asking questions and we will do our best to help you out. Stay warm and stay safe!!
