Lot's of plan and resolutions have been made in the past few weeks which have included a new property blog to show readers the delights of Hungary and what is available at unbelievably low prices. I've added a link to the blog in the links section on the right. Hopefully it will grow to become a source of information on different villages and areas in Hungary, Hungarian culture and food as well as properties for sale by local owners.
Nearly forgot to mention, we spent a lovely evening with friends in the Zala hills and to my surprise, I discovered a fellow Historian with a mutual interest in investigating our villages "battle field" with a metal detector. So hopefully (if we find a suitable detector) the children will have something to entertain them over Easter.
Not much else to mention at the moment as mostly my spare time has been spent baking cupcakes and trying out new curry recipes building a new chimney in Sprints room and fitting two new wood burners. The next job to be tackled is fitting a wood burner in the school room however, with it being an old adobe house, I would prefer to have something in fitting with the character of the building and after browsing too many sites on masonry heaters I discovered and fell in love with these and despite hubby's protests I have decided that we will attempt to build something similar - I'll keep you updated when the build begins :-)
Well it would seem it has arrived on the east of Hungary! 3 days in a row where the maximum tempeature has failed to reach -10 degs :O
ReplyDeleteAlso we had 24 hours with no Elecricity and we are now looking at being close on 48 hours with no water!
It may have been short this year but it is looking to be pretty brutal... How are things in the West?
Here also, temperatures cold but it's the chilly winds that are unusual? We sometimes get power outages during high winds but usually they repair the fault within 2-12 hours, never been without water though, hope you're managing okay? Agree, looks like it'll be short but very sharp! The children were delighted though to see some snow and loved skating on the lake. Bet you're glad you didn't put those seeds in ;-)
