Bulgaria, January, Sunny Beach, our village festival day!

[@vinyl57]

So good to see you guys with our Puddleduck friends at this local celebration. Great fun - lots of singing and dancing going on. The sausages & mulled wine looked really good. Thanks for sharing this with us!😉😊💓

[@sunnybeachlife5860]

Very cold so we didn't enjoy for as long as last year.

[@James-t9p2b]

It's great to see all festivities in your village hope the mulled wine kept yous nice and warm

[@sunnybeachlife5860]

Really nice local win, home made so no additives. Very tasty , couldn't wear gloves filming and it was really cold. Today we have been out working in the garden in warm sunshine.

5:27 It's great how they live their tradition...much more countries in Europe should do 🫶🏻

[@sunnybeachlife5860]

They protect it, they upset some correct people in the E U as not always accepting of doctrines issued if there is a clash with their tradition.

[@evilwigga9201]

@sunnybeachlife5860 oh yes 👍🏻

[@MarionOregan]

Looks so cold there I bet the mulled wine was welcome love to see the village and what's going on there it's so nice I like it a lot makes a change from sunny beach marion

[@sunnybeachlife5860]

We love being at home as such. In the season we do a couple of nights a week in the resort but love the 15 minute drive back to our other life.

[@ManBee999]

Great to see things are going on in your village 🌭🍷

[@sunnybeachlife5860]

It really is! Bit of life in winter

[@sunnybeachlife5860]

Thanks

[@stevewood3681]

That's the snow we had last week, I saw it coming. See you in 6 months when it's warmer ☀️

[@sunnybeachlife5860]

It was nothing, not an inch

[@Imotepth]

06:03 ah... Kamenica, my most favorite beer 🤩

[@sunnybeachlife5860]

Top seller here

[@sonja1637]

Bulgarien mal ganz anders, wir kennen es nur heiß und sonnig. Danke fürs mitnehmen und miterleben dürfen. Bald wird es wieder wärmer dann kommen wir auch wieder an den wunderschönen Sonnenstrand.

[@sunnybeachlife5860]

Beautiful , bright and sunny again today and soon summer will come. A big contrast to the holiday season here

[@LindenButters]

So lovely for the villagers to have their special day recorded for posterity.You really play a valuable role in the life of your community.

[@sunnybeachlife5860]

A few always say hello now as they know we actually live here.

[@sunnybeachlife5860]

Thanks

[@alexikonen3418]

Lot's of people about there, I just wonder what's the population of Kosharitsa? Some fresh sausages and mulled wine, that's the vibe!

[@sunnybeachlife5860]

Provided for the public free of charge as well, cannot beat that.

[@redpillbulgaria-v2.063]

Went there. Was hoping to run into you guys, but didn't stay too long because of the cold. The sausages were delicious though, especially the dry ones. Didn't try the wine because I was driving, plus I don't drink to begin with. Cheers I.

[@sunnybeachlife5860]

The sausages were tasty, really meaty as well. Yes it was freezing with snow flurries.

[@laurie9013]

Can you put a video on of what's happening to the iglika bar devastated it not going to be there 😢 this year 😢

[@sunnybeachlife5860]

We showed it in a video a couple of weeks back. Looks a mess with no front on it. Will mention it but not a lot to say, it was rented, the landlord wanted it back. Sorry that you lost a favourite bar, was mine a couple of years back but avoided it last season, liked Christmas of course, never got to know the new staff, they all left last year, but it wasn't somewhere I would have gone this year at all. I could do a video explaining why but I don't do shock, negative films and I have to give respect to James for times past.

[@martinholland2870]

We to enjoyed our night,s in there

[@martinholland2870]

So sad to hear about iglika bar having to close hope they can get some other plans for another area had some very good times in there for past years

[@sunnybeachlife5860]

I had good times in past years, didn't use it for most of last year, not surprised by the news at all. It needs a total refit, rebuild from ground up toilets , paving areas etc was getting a bit of a mess when you looked at it. Probably they knew last season as it became a different experience for many like myself.

[@martinholland2870]

@sunnybeachlife5860 it's the hotel what's having a complete refurb and by the looks of things they don't want it

[@sunnybeachlife5860]

Who would, it got busy and noisy late on when some guests would like to have a quieter experience. We know hotels who rent out the bars but they have to cut the noise after 11pm, that would kill the Iglika.

[@mcapo7664]

Lovely that you cal stroll into your local village! How do you find the language barrier, do most speak English?

[@sunnybeachlife5860]

A few speak English, sign language , a few gestures and we get on fine. We wanted to live somewhere that was fully year round and a proper community.

[@BackSeatHump]

I’d loved to join in the dancing but it looks to be only women in the circle. Is it? That sausage will taste far better than the rubbish we get over here, that I can guarantee. You can keep the mulled wine however. I’ve had some of the stuff and I’d rather drink petrol straight from the spout and it'd be less flammable too. I thank the two of you for easing my anguish while waiting for June 2025 to arrive. ☺

[@sunnybeachlife5860]

The wine was fantastic, not like the Christmas supermarket specials in UK, not spicy just hot. Local wine no additives either. Guys dance as well here, everyone joins in, there were some guys dancing at times.

[@robefc358]

Hello I've not seen your videos for a while, have you got any idea what is happening with the iglika bar.

[@sunnybeachlife5860]

It has gone, the hotel has changed owners and will be refurbished and upgraded and the bar didn't fit with the new image or clientele.

[@robefc358]

@sunnybeachlife5860 That's such a shame.

[@sunnybeachlife5860]

Many people liked it in there

[@martynsmith9482]

Do you think when they take the euro, things may drop off.

[@sunnybeachlife5860]

A lot of visitors from Ireland and Germany have euros anyway. It's put back again now anyway
