Gostilitsa 2012

I'll be perfectly honest, I don't remember much about this trip. Maybe is was the high alcohol content of the Bugarian lager or maybe it was one of those years when I had a short-ish visit on my own and was therefore pretty lazy. I don't recall. I do remember that I created a kind of raised wall by the walnut tree which made me sweat a lot in the process. I also remember that I had quite a lot of holidays that year, so I was probably time constrained. Finally, I think my cheap labour pool dried up a bit after a number of years of complaint over conditions and lack of wages. Overall, I think I deserved their scorn and rejection. Still I've never had a bad trip to Bulgaria and this will have been no exception. I also had a disappointingly small section of concrete laid. The first of several instalments designed to cover the front garden. I haven't, to date, managed to make any further investment to progress this.
I also managed to take a trip into Veliko Tarnovo (VT) to catch a few shots of the Tsarevets Fortress, the impressive visitor showpiece complete with laser lightshow on summer nights.

Rocks are heavy. Fact.


Bulgaria started a proud tradition of concrete laying in the communist era and this is some of their finest to date.
