This was such a great read. I loved getting to peak inside your life and your kitchen, Claire! Just reading about your slower paced life made me breath a little deeper and remember that even when problems and challenges arise, there's very little to get upset about. Thank you.
If only I were so zen all the time (I'm definitely not 😂). But it's fair to say that living this slower, quieter life has had a calming effect overall. I think I'm better (or getting better) at seeing the bigger picture.
My husband and I moved into an RV 6 years ago and for a while it felt like we really were living a slower life. But, then we just packed it right back up again with all the normal stressors. I guess we don’t become different people when we change our environment, do we? I do feel that the environment often helps me recognize when I need to chill out and relax.
Wow! What a difference in the before and after photos of your kitchen! You’ve done a marvelous job of renovation and it truly looks cozy and functional. I’m in awe of all the decisions and details of your move from the UK to rural Bulgaria. I moved from the US to Hungary in the 90s but it was to a Budapest, so very modern with all the conveniences.
Your kitchen looks perfect, the green is gorgeous and your cat elegant. I too use a little bowl for scraps, but I still end up with garlic an onion skin all over the floor.
Such a lovely story, Claire. And a gorgeous kitchen!
Aw, thank you, Irina! 💚

Oh yes, it's like the old saying, wherever you go, there you are!
What a wonderful adventure. And I love how your kitchen turned out.
Thanks, Mira 💚

It was a bit like indoor camping in those early days, but fun. I love Budapest. What a great place to live!
Indoor camping! I love that. And yes, Budapest was such an amazing adventure for me and I wound up meeting my future husband there.
Score! 💘

He is an elegant chap, isn't he? Thanks for reading, Lisa! 💚
