Varna, where we live is situated on the Black Sea coast. This results in really nice summer, long warm autumns and almost now spring. It is not too bad. The only thing I really do not like about our climate here is we do not have snow for more than 14-21 days a year. It snows but it is not cold enough for the snow to stay.

That is why I really loved our Christmas vocation with a frozen river beautiful water falls and a warm 12C cave - all in 10 minutes walk around. As we have both heating and hot water, I can happily look at the snow on the pictures taken in the mountain, while the snow here gets less every day. I love the way show from the trees branches was falling on the ice. It looked as if it was snowing. Read the rest of this entry »

A few weeks after the first cold days, when we had 10C here, the last two days were warm and sunny. We were walking in the neighborhood and we found a lane with several green trees. After the windy and cold days it was nice to feel the warmth of the autumn sun and enjoy pleasant temperature and the bright sky and light.

We have a warm autumn here with summer /or summer-like/ temperatures lasting almost until the end of October. We call it gypsy summer. Usually the gypsy summer saves a few days for November. The last two were some of them.

The picture is taken in the cold period, but the grass is still birgth green now. This is one of my favourite alleys in the Sea Garden of Varna.
