As everyone must know, over the years we have lived in Bulgaria we have loved life here. However, I should add that we never considered leaving England because we disliked life there. We are now deciding to leave for the following reasons.
1. Bulgaria seems to be going backwards not forwards. EU money is not going where it should and villages are still stagnating with only cosmetic advances being made. Corruption and lack of law still a big problem everywhere from top to bottom.
2. No problems with healthcare because the doctors saved my Hero's life. However, it is a factor because of the aftercare and difficulties understanding exactly what is going on. This obviously depends on where you live.
3. As I am aging I feel the need to be nearer family and share all the things I used to love but sacrificed to live abroad like theatre and seeing my daughter's first nights.
Lastly, I have to mention other expats who have succeeded in making our lives a misery over the last few years.
What I will miss:
My lovely home and our wonderful Bulgarian friends and neighbours and the weather. Not enough to keep me here though.
