Hi Sean, are you talking about next to Panorma / Marina part of Grand Fort or over the road as Imperial/Crown & Sea Fort?

Have holiday makers flights started arriving at Bourgas UK yet? Are there any/many tourists around? How busy are you? You were going to let me know if you had time to paint our apartment this month or if you were booked up with cleans and airport transfers so too busy.

Good morning, weather has been perfect with temps in the early 20s and dry and sunny, not much cloud cover at all!! work continues here in Elenite and it looks like they are trying to get some stalls/shops up and running, nothing on the hill, chez the new build is on the beach front next to marina view and looks like they are pouring another floor today/tomorrow, cleaning up the grounds around the admiral, new water park coming on fast with plenty of slides getting fitted, aqua park in sunny beach is open, and plenty of tourists/owners came out over the weekend, have a great week...

Hi Sean,
Weather in UK has been crazy. temps during day not bad but real cold at nights, Missing the place, it feels like forever we came back home not just 2 months. Keep writing your blog even if not much happening. Take care not long till Santa's here.
bye for now

Hi all, the end of october was great weather and that continued up until yesterday with the first big rain in a while, temps for the first three weeks of november late teens with sunshine and dry!! Here in Elenite work continues on a small scale just finishing the concrete structure next to pfb, rumour has it they are going to clean their mess up? nearly completed concrete works next to grand resort and brickwork going up and plumbers and electricans are in, admiral roof on and windows nearing completion, busy winter sorting the inside out! Nothing in sunny beach, apart from some work down by djannys, at the airport there is work being carried out not sure what? looks like a new control tower?? Burgas looking good with the overhead walkways going up, very impressed as most are fed with lifts, welcome to the next century?? the new indoor athlectics arena strating to take shape!! santa,s franchises seem to have increased this year, nearly everywhere you look, couldn,t have a bought a string of tinsel 6 years ago! now you got enough to go to the moon and back several times,, not much other then that from a wet and very quiet BG,have a great week all .... I am going on line to buy some tumbleweed to put life in this place!!!!

Hi All, wether been superb for dec, onlt two bad days so far this month,, temps today have reached 14c and sunny ,dry and little wind! the last couple of weeks have been great too with pretty much pure sunshine,,cold of a night time with temps going as low as -4c. Nothing to report on the construction side of things, here in Elenite they have had some bricks delivered and still a pile of rubbish starting to spread itself around,,next to grand resort they are still working but at a slow pace,,Admiral in vlas outside insulation going on , once again a slow pace, opposite the petrol station in Vlas they have started digging,not sure what for probably more apartments( think their is a shortage not!!!!) Djannys going for a full refurb etc. Burgas looking good all ways round. The tent is up in the square in St VLAS, so a place to get warmth and have a drink and some food, that is about it,,as peaceful as you like/or not!! have a great xmas and new year ,,,, if i hear the pin drop i shall inform you!!!

Thanks for the update Sean- great to hear there's good weather somewhere, pity those of us washed out of it or worse flooded in this part of the world. Have a lovely Christmas and All the Best in 2016!

Hi All, and a very Happy New Year to you, and i hope you all have survived the festive time! I drove down from Sofia on saturday clear roads with some sunny intervals but temps around -2, got up yesterday morning to a light sprinkling of snow and temp a nice healthy -10, had a drive around in the afternoon and the temps warmed up nicely to -6 not to bad took a few pics and headed home as the weather took a turn for the worse!!!! Woke up this morning to -8 and 15-20 cm of snow ( 6 to 8 inches in old money) but with strong winds it was alot colder than -8 ( just got back in from walk abouts) roads are closed and no way of getting any vechiles out in this, also heard that sunny beach is a no go, so i should imagine st vlas the same, just started with more heavy snow, so looks like penned in for a couple of days, pics sent have a great day!!!

Happy New Year Sean! Thanks for the photos.

The forum is very quiet. I have friends looking to rent an apartment on Crown, Imperial or Sea Fort but we haven't had a reply yet. Not much on the 'net either. Most are Marina or Panorama.

H Sean,
Thanks for pics, hope you've managed to dig yourself out by now. we are just having floods over England but there is no snow up to now. temperatures here 7 - 8 degrees but with the wind feels a lot colder. all the best for 2016 from June & Ken xx

Hi All, The snow has gone, and the temp yesterday was a nice 15+c thats a swing of 25c in a week!!! crazy planet indeed. Work has started back up next to PFB here in Elenite, and the old wooden stalls accross from that have all been demolished and left the mess there ( no surprise on that front), other than that not much more happening at all, work on the Admiral continues,re-furb at D,jannys still going,Burgas looking good with new foot bridges etc, other than that not much else,,,have a great week............
