The Last Snow on the Mountain
A Slow Day in a Bulgarian Village
We live in the Rose Valley at the foot of the Balkan Mountains. Slow living is a way of life here , we feel that we can escape back to a simpler place and time.
This is a typical slow day in our village . We like to walk our five rescue dogs in the morning - where they enjoy the last snows of spring on the mountains. Returning home there is always work to do in the garden until an unexpected storm arrives and the rain drives us indoors. I decide to make homemade Easter eggs.
Life here is all about Cottagecore - a return to the land, Self-sufficiency and small farming, local customs and traditions, home cooked food from scratch, and the beautiful countryside around our home.
Would you like to escape to a simpler place and time? Maybe just for a nice relaxing holiday, or maybe to leave the ‘rat race’ for good.
We are an English couple living in a rural village in the foothills of the Balkan mountains - a place where time seems to have stood still.
We make videos about life here with an emphasis on Slow living and Cottagecore:
A return to the land, home cooked food from scratch, rustic interiors, Self-sufficiency, local customs and traditions, and the beautiful countryside around our home.
Perhaps your dream has been to take early retirement? Or to afford your own small farm or homestead? Or maybe you just want to take a relaxing holiday in a beautiful sunny location.
We have been able to realise our own dreams of doing all of the above. We have created this channel to provide help, advice and information for anyone wishing to do the same, and to celebrate this beautiful location.
Our valley is the perfect place to relax. Enjoy the beautiful surroundings and the sunny climate, and let the fast pace of the modern world fade away. Indulge in home cooked traditional food and wines in rustic surroundings. delight in the colourful customs and celebrations that are still alive here. Maybe rediscover ‘old’skills like wine making, canning, Animal husbandry, or just how to cook a traditional dish on the log-fueled ‘petchka’.
