Living in Our Bulgarian House ALONE.

[@dimitrenikolov3195]

I can tell you for sure not very many young people in Bulgaria can live the life the way you live. This is so inspiring. I believe every young couple in Bulgaria should follow your blog and learn something. You have earned my respect. Hats off!

[@paulinegreen-1812]

That’s a lovely thing to say xx

[@andrewuk4813]

Set me off crying too - separation from family is so hard. You two love birds are so nice. You'll all be back together soon 😊

[@marianamanolova6461]

Dear Laura, you are doing great ! We need more people like you ! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@nikatan001]

Electricity providers have to be pestered all the time in order to fix the issues, after all you are paying for a service and they are in breach of contract. It's important to call them ASAP when a cut is observed and to enquire. If the issues continue, you can seek legal advice. All the best, Nick (Bulgaria)

[@VonL1963]

Well done Laura, you're coping so much better than I would have. Fingers crossed you'll be back together as a family ASAP. Sending hugs 😊

[@the_phoenixproject]

Thank you! 😊💕✨

[@anthonyphoenix2845]

You're welcome ❤️ I love you too 😘

[@sheilabuss8721]

All your pets are gorgeous - I loved it when your three cats were all cuddled up together on your bed - enjoy your own time xxx

Hi , English -bulgarian Madam, you are a hero! Good job, excellent!😮😢🎉

[@the_phoenixproject]

Благодаря ти много 🥰💪

[@Kitty_cat2001]

You’re doing so well there grafting on your own for the betterment of the family! It’ll be interesting when the girls start school there as they too will be exposed to so much more-can’t wait!

[@nuttermecharena]

A tip that I’m sure you’re aware of re the log burner glass….to clean it really easily use some of the ash with water on a bit of kitchen roll works a treat cleans it quick too.

[@patriciapadgett4696]

Hi from Spain. Hang on in there, it's hard on your own, but I've done it. Just stick to a routine everyday & set yourself a job to do, then enjoy relaxing with your book & cosy fire. I would go to bed early, then get up early. The time will pass quickly & you'll all be back together . As someone suggested, damp kitchen roll & ash from the fire will clean the glass & you'll enjoy watching the flames so much more. Take care & remember we are all here to keep you company. Love & hugs ♥️♥️

[@Sue-mh6wi]

Hi, they’ll be back before you know it. It is hard on your own , been on my own for 8years but you can do it. Lovely vlog ❤❤

[@dianethompson2458]

You are doing such a great job living on your own. I hope Antony and the girls get back home to you very soon. Big hug and much love to you, my dear.❤❤❤

[@r.a.3984]

Another great video! You are so brave and strong! I know life in a village can be hard specially if you are alone, BUT don’t think for this as a separation, accept it as a challenge and maybe as a gift? I understand that every mom love their kids but a little break now and then isn’t that bad, sending hugs and spiritual support from the sea side 👋🏻🙏🏻🖤

[@User1967-d7r]

Hello my british friends.This happened in UK in our house too.We spend 3days in the cold flat,till the company sorted the problem with the electricity in the region of Manchester.But es good, you have fire place.Greatings from England

[@paulinegreen-1812]

You won’t be alone for much longer 👍 You are so lovely ❤

[@philiplitchfield9625]

Hang on in,it must be very hard for you,but you will be aĺ together soon with a fantastic future ahead, keep smiling

[@the_phoenixproject]

Thank you 😊

[@amandamegarry2061]

Well done Laura 👏 you're doing amazing its so difficult without family around its like you somehow lose who u are and have to start over but you are so strong you will get through this and hopefully visa's will be sorted quickly and you guys will be back together stronger than ever you're doing great try to enjoy free time for you as you know as a wife and mother it rarely ever happens as hard as it is try to look for the positives it only makes you stronger as a person u get to know yourself again ❤

[@writerlass5924]

❤❤❤ an inspirational video as ever, Laura - I have my fingers and toes crossed that your wonderful little family will be back home soon 🤗xx

[@maggiefreestone391]

Stay strong! Your life is so much like ours, I wish I could send you a photo. We are in the mountains of N Cyprus and our house is as basic as yours. It will be freezing here too next week but😢 we don't have to split up any more. Beware, we had a cat jump on the stove once. His paws did heal though Have you thought of an inverter? Easier than a Genny . Take care❤

[@davethompson247]

Thank you Laura, much love from Darlo

[@the_phoenixproject]

Thank you ! 😊

[@carlyjonesart9815]

I've never been more than a few days away from my daughter (she's 8) so I can imagine how difficult it is. You're doing great, try to focus on positives and the lovely day they'll be back. Perhaps an Irish passport might be a good idea long term. I'm in the process of applying for my Irish residency, I think it's a 2 year wait though. Then can apply for passport. Good luck!

[@semeistvo]

Hugs ! You can do it ❤

[@legrandeileen4863]

Chin up ❤ Time goes by. 😊😊

[@iosilver9920]

I'm in the SE and still using electricity to heat my place but will soon go over to mainly the petchka. Since last year I now have 4 extra kittens that I'm dreading will jump up on to it. I don't suppose that they will hang around for long!

[@the_phoenixproject]

My cats like to sit behind it sometimes, but the kitten doesn't go near it. I'm sure they will be fine 🙂

[@iosilver9920]

@the_phoenixproject can't wait for the family to be back together...it must be hard on you both but I'm sure that the little ones are loving the adventure...such is the way that good parents make horrible situations invisible. Also, I found that this video was really good so not sure why you were so hard on yourself.

[@yvstar]

You are doing excellent job living on your own Laura 😊Time does fly quite quickly these days, you'll see they'll be back before you know it. By the way, the way you said Strazhitsa was 🔥I guess pronouncing Koprivshtitsa should be as easy as pie for you now 😊

[@the_phoenixproject]

Thank you! I speak lots of Bulgarian these days and it is helping a lot! ☺️💞

[@vladivladi6004]

Силно момиче , не бъди тъжна, не си сама, имаш си дрежки и верни приятелчета в къщи и те , те пазят. Скоро ще прегърнеш твоите любими хора и всичко ще е прекрасно😊. Още малко потърпи и дишай спокойно 😊🙂👍❤❤Поздрави🍀

[@vladivladi6004]

Дружки( приятелчета)😊

[@stoilstoilov5572]

It is good enough that you have the cat and the dog with you to help you! Put moor trees in the stove, drink something hot and enter Internet.

[@FreeSpeech-q7v]

I love your cookies! At least you have ME time.

[@the_phoenixproject]

Yes, exactly.

[@TheFayesy]

Hugs lovely.

[@numptyadventures9207]

With your electric bill. Do you pay a standing charge like the uk. ?? , your doing amazing X

[@the_phoenixproject]

It's more like pay as you go, to be honest. It's so affordable I don't even think about it 😂

[@svetoslavtodorov2427]

No standing charges, you pay whatever you used. I don't think there was a tax like the UK either(5%?). As she said leccy is rather cheap. However, if you don't pay on time, they'll cut it off and there is a fee to reconnect xD

[@psychoscotsman6536]

Can I ask why they need to be in UK until get the visa can it not be done or applied for via mail or even in Bulgaria it's self I really hope it is fast processing it as can see in your eyes how much u miss them

[@baihui7349]

Very often villages are without power .

Yes and it's usually no problem when I'm not alone 😂🙈

[@NewBulgarians]

Aww you're doing great Laura, very relaxing apart from the generator lol. Totally understand your nervousness re: driving alone, and of course you're missing your little family, but look how well you're doing. Love the perfect reason to eat cookies.

[@the_phoenixproject]

Thank you! 😊 Hope you guys are OK. I saw you are back in the UK. Everything happens for a reason, so I'm sure it will all work out as it is meant to ❤️❤️❤️
