HOTNITSA
Living in rural Bulgaria
restored house at Hotnitsa
 
From 30 July to 3 August, we were delighted to host our strawbale course, led by the
brilliant Barbara Jones, supported by Hywel and Paulo (equally brilliant ambassadors) and
attended by a fantastic group of participants.  

The previous week we'd had heavy storms with torrential rain but, fortunately, the weather
stayed warm and dry throughout the course.  Thanks to the tremendous efforts of
everyone involved, we had a wonderful time and achieved great things by working
together.

Thanks to everyone who participated in the building as well as the totally marvellous
catering team who produced delicious meals throughout the week.  Everything was so
good that I'm running out of superlatives!
