Welcome to the channel!
We are Laura and Anthony Phoenix. A British married couple with a passion for travel and sustainability. We bought an abandoned house in Bulgaria for £7,000 with a dream of turning it into an eco-friendly, off-grid property for our children to thrive and grow. Join us on our journey as we navigate the Bulgarian language, culture, and epic renovation project!
"Тук сме обичани и добре дошли." Желая Ви винаги да е така с Вас в Чудесната България!! Stay healthy and don't get sick! Much success and luck!🙂😀😀👍👍👍🍀🍀🍀
Good decision buying the generator . Theres even a way to set them up for as soon as the elecricity cuts off the generator automatically starts up and powers the house .
How come the British embassy are making you stay so long in the UK. As you say it impedes your income so I would’ve thought they would be more considerate. Australia 🇦🇺
It's just the waiting time for visas. It's not the British embassy, but the Bulgarian embassy in London. The waiting time for visas is up to 34 working days. We had to wait 3 weeks last time but it can be longer. Very annoying 🙈
@@the_phoenixprojectapply for Irish or Bulgarian citizenship. In BG you'll take it in few years since you live there own property pay taxes raise children & planning to stay there. BG needs ppl you're white Christians civilized educated can-do trustworthy young with small kids not even one reason to be refused or slowed just apply.
@@Uc9uE3pKsS6uQмисля че да, но в България гражданство се взима много трудно. Трябва да се доказва произход, а очевидно те са англичани. Могат след известно време с виза, да си вземат временно пребиваване или синя карта мисля се казваше …
Loved watching your journey over the year 😊 Congratulations you made it 🎉👏🏻 So good to see such a down to earth (bit rough round the edges couple,like us all), Your wonderful parents and the girls are lucky to have you as you are to have them.I find an escape in your videos to take me away from the harsh UK life.Keep doing what your doing. Hugs to you all 🤗
@@the_phoenixproject the number plate should be changed to your region and address ..I think it's VT for Veliko Tarnovo...some number plates are different...Dobrich is TX
@@the_phoenixprojectI heard that the law changed and now if you buy a car in a different region of Bulgaria to where you stay then you don't need to register it for your region you can leave it as it is as long as it's a Bulgarian plate it doesn't matter
@@blairmarriott3737 That is true. At KAT this year I was asked if I wanted to change or keep the original BG plate. It is no longer necessary to change it to your local characters.
I know you've had your ups and downs but so nice to see you guys full of life and enjoying it, hope the visa situation goes quickly. Absolutely pouring down in Sussex, enjoy the sun.
I am watching you with interest. Will miss you for the time you are away to sort kids visas. Wish you luck and keep entertaining us. I have been living in the UK for 22 years, now back to Bulgaria. If you need an advise in anything that boders you, happy to help.
@the_phoenixproject since you're going to UK why don't you check around there for market for truffles? A lot of truffles in restaurants around the world are from BG is a huge business for Bulgarian village ppl should be some ppl doing it & others buying it in your village & the area truffles should be there too. Is a big business ppl make great €€ all go for export mostly in Italy France & Rossia it'll help you to start really make very good €€ even as seasonal business with very little easy effort & guaranteed market if you whosale even small quantities to local buyers. All you need is 2-3 puppies any breed preferably small breed & train them for few months till the season comes.
Когато говорим за четене, "готово" не е подходящо, защото думата се употребява за нещо, което сами сме извършили, написали или направили (да готвя=to cook)(да приготвям=to make). По-подходящо би било да кажеш "почти я свърших", "почти я прочетох" (я=книгата).
Hello happy family! I can say you are so brave and strong together. I am following you from the beginning of your Bulgarian adventure. You have done so much work, the house was a real mess, i wont be able to start such a creepy mission! Congratulations, you are doing great, still having so much to put in order, but the progress is obvious. Keep going, fingers crossed
A great improvement for this year 💯💯💯! Happy Bulgarian anniversary and many to come ! I`ve been following your journey and I really wish❤❤❤ you all the success here !
1) So many people have tattoos in Bulgaria 2) We don't need jobs in Bulgaria, we have them elsewhere. 3) If people were ever to treat us differently for having tattoos, that's on them. Regardless of the country. Bulgarian people have only treated us with respect because we are good people. We are loved here and welcome.
The house is such a sweet cozy home now. You should be proud of yourselves. Your family is safe and happy. Your children live such a wholesome life. They are lucky that you made the decision to move to Bulgaria. The future is bright and there is so much more excitement and happiness for you all in the years to come. Thank you so much for sharing your lives with us. ❤
It has been a real pleasure following your journey what you achieved in one year with two kids is phenomenal considering the care ,time and attention they need you have done pretty well you will have my support all the way ,its just make me feel good seeing you happy. if you want to give advice about purchasing a car what would be the make to go for that is easy ,cheap to repair and find part in BG. Keep those lovely videos coming.
Happy One Year anniversary ! I still remember your tears and now I am so glad to see you with a big smile on the face. You guys really touch my heart deeply ! I am coming back home very soon for few days and if you send me the name of your village I will try to come over and say Hello in person. But my country house is in very bad condition as well and I have to do some work too, so if not this time definitely next time for Christmas I will visit you . I would like to wish best of luck for the next ONE Year and all the best ! Have a Great ONE Yours Harry from Bulgaria
Здравейте! Честита годишнина в новата/стара къща в България! Доста по-красива и уютна е станала, благодарение на вашия тежък труд, но и желанието Ви! ❤
There is no lack of enthusiasm and positive energy in your family. I admire how much you managed to achieve, considering you look after two young kids and have no help with the child care. All the best 👍
I’m really glad that you looked back at last year’s footage to see how much that you’ve done. The mic on the bottle of champagne is fantastic! You;ve done a lot over the year and your girls have learned a lot too. I’m glad you’ve involving them in the process. I had a very impatient father when I was a kid and was reminded frequently of how much he wished he’d never had kids and how useless I was. Though you occasionally say that things are challenging because of the kids, you never say hurtful things like my dad did.
