Thanks for pointing those dates out Ash - I have taken special note of the holidays of 6 September Unification Day/Ден на съединението (Monday)

as we will be holding our Garden Party again at the Silsitra Orphanage and do not want to get caught out again with those dates.

This year 2009 we had planned for 27th Sept but there was a sports day in Sofia so we had to move forward by a week, with only 2 weeks notice therefore, only 18 British couples could make it.

We will start planning now for Sept 2010 Garden Party so watch this space.
