Shopping Trip.



After braving the cold we decided the van was going no where,so still togged up we walked to the Maga'zin(Магазин)Shop for bottled water Don't really believe in buying bottled water cos of the waste element,but we have been advised by people not to drink tape water others say its OK so not knowing we play safe.I do boil tape water and use it to cook though.Anyway we arrive at the Mag'azi and Stoyan the owner greets us with a smile.Stoyan and Elaina his wife are in their 40's,he works on the local farm ,she in Yambol, Baba(grandma)looks after the shop through the week.
Stoyan announced Go'lyam Snyak(Голям Сняг)Big snow!!for Saturday,Problem we needed more then water for big snow.


It was decided to Taxi to Yambol cars seemed to be running on the main road so I rang Mina our friendly taxi lady and 20mins later she arrived.When our new Swedish neighbours arrive in March I will pass her number on.The roads were horrendous even though Mina took it in her stride we did wonder if we would get home,but we did after shopping she collected us no prob and returned us safely home.What a day!!!
