We're Phil and Kayleigh, a husband and wife living in rural Bulgaria with our two children, Alex and Ember. It's always been our dream to live a more self-sustainable life off grid. So, we've sold all our belongings, escaped the rental rat race and bought a plot of land. Complete with a derelict house and 3 barns, we hope to create our new life mortgage free. We've faced lots of hurdles already, so hang on tight as we show you highs and lows of moving abroad and starting again.

Greetings from a Bulgarian.
Do not feel sorry for anything - remember - health comes first. Everything else can wait.
I hope and pray for full and best recovery!
You are absolutely right. Phil's mum often says if you have good health you have everything ❤️
Well said here from England
Bulgaria is not going to escape, your property is still yours. Land is here and awaits you back, after you pass what are you going to pass thru.
We are with you!
Absolutely 😊 Our plans and vision have not changed and we will be back there as soon as we can 💪
Bulgaria will always be ready and waiting for you. I know how much of a struggle it's been for you Kayleigh with pain and movement, so it's positive that this should all be rectified so you can get back to some normalcy. Love you guys, big hugs from us xx
Thanks so much guys! Fingers crossed this sorts it once and for all. Hope you're all doing ok. Can't wait to get back over and meet up again at some point! Xx❤️🥰
just had the same operation to remove the metal in my leg last week which has set us back. Was going on a building course, to hopefully do what you are doing but that is now on the back burner. Good luck kayleigh and family
@@AlanMcsorley I hope your operation went okay. For me, it's been positive, although it has set us back and I have alot of physio and exercise to do to regain my muscle strength, I am already walking without a huge limp and the pain has improved dramatically. Good luck and listen to your body 👍
@@OffGridWithTheUdens
@@OffGridWithTheUdens Good luck to you all. Mac
Well strangely enough, I have just put my Bulgarian adventure off for a while. I realised that staying in the UK and saving more money (as you can generate a good income comparatively,) you can save a lump sum to invest in your property. Solar system? New windows? See this is as a great opportunity, not a setback. As you said, you have each other, and that'll get you through everything.
Absolutely that's exactly the way we're trying to look at it. It's all a juggling act with the kids and life but we'll make the best of what we can. Thanks for the comment. Best of luck with your plans. 👍
So sorry to hear this guys. You are certainly made of strong stuff and you will get there ❤ Hugs 💓
Thanks for the support guys - really appreciated ❤️👍
I'm so sorry to hear this and sorry you need to have another operation. But asides from that, the only thing you loose is a couple of months and your plans don't work out. That's nothing in a lifetime 😊. Keep smiling and stay strong
Thank you for the kind words. Absolutely things could be far worse, it's just a setback we were hoping wouldn't happen again. But we've got this, appreciate the support 🙂
Health is the most important everything else is in the background noise. Good luck and a speedy recovery!
You are absolutely right. We hope the rehab goes quickly and well 😊
Sorry to hear of your sad news. I was actually just thinking of you today. Please stay positive, life sometimes kicks us in the teeth. You will come through this, and come back to Bulgaria with huge smiles on your faces. Yes, use the interim to stay educated, especially your language, it can slip away quickly if you stop. I may be a good idea if Phil does come back over to your property, just to keep an eye on things. You are very lucky to have been given such an early operation date. Wishing you all the very best.
Thank you so much. Yes we are very pleased they put it through as an urgent op. We already can't wait to get back. we'll try our best with the language I've already noticed some of it slipping away. Thanks again 🥰
Nicely mentioned Rosemary, Steven from England.
♥ Love you and I really hope and think a recovery will be the best for you all ♥ We are all with you in the hope - and willl stay tuned to follow you again, when you are ready ♥
Thank you so much for the kind words and support. We'll keep the channel updated as best we can. 🙂
Very sad news ,But surely Phil you can go and continue your work on the home stead keep the dream alive for when Kayleigh recovers .Hard to do being away from loved ones ,got to think ahead ,hope it all works out .🤞
Thanks for the comment and support. I am planning to head back at some point for a week or two so I can get some stuff done. But I also need to be in the UK not just for Kayleigh but for the kids too. It's all a balancing act. 🙂
Nicely thought, Steven from England.
So sorry guys 💔 this sucks on many, many levels. Hope you get back here soon!

So sorry to hear your bad news, we really feel for you. Hopefully this will get it sorted properly and you can have many great years building your new lives ahead of you. We wish you all four of you all the best.
Thanks so much guys. Fingers crossed this sorts it once and for all. We can't wait to get back over and crack on. Thanks for the comment 😊
I'm sorry for the bad news, but stay positive. It's a setback, but you're both young and you have the rest of your lives to look forward to. Good luck to you both.❤

Thanks for posting the update...it must have been a very difficult one to make.
As so many have already said, health comes first.
I have been here since last March and completely agree about how Bulgaria and the life it brings makes you not want to be away from it.
Wishing you a speedy recovery and hopefully see you all soon.
Mike in Oryahovo.
Hi Mike we’re located not far from where you are . Just saw you’re in Oryahavo. Les in Galovo
Thanks Mike, really appreciate the kind words and support. It's certainly a more enjoyable way of life for us out there. But you're right health is everything! Take care, see you soon 👍

So sorry for your troubles. We pray it will be all good again soon.
Thank you so much for taking the time to comment and support us. We really appreciate it ❤️
Your health comes first Katy. Stay strong and know that you are a powerful human being and you can heal. Sounds like the metal plate being removed will be great for your bones to heal naturally. All the best ❤
Thank you for such kind words of support. We can't wait to get back to the land and post more updates soon!
So sorry to hear this news .I was looking forward to your return and videos from Bulgaria .As a Registered Nurse having to metal removed from my hip ,ankle and tibia albeit not in the same leg .You my lovely have age in your side and obviously motivation .I wouldn’t put a time scale as to when you will return just get well .Bulgaria at the end of the day will still be waiting for you.Take care good luck for your yo and coming operation x
Thank you very much we really appreciate it. Yes health comes first for sure, we'll do our best to keep everyone updated. 🥰
Sorry you're going through this but your health is your wealth. Things really could be a lot worse. So happy you're both looking on the bright side and keen to get on with you're future in Bulgaria. 🙏 for a speedy recovery. Keep us updated
Thank you so much for the support we've been overwhelmed by everyone's kind words. It absolutely could be so much worse, we already can't wait to get back out there 🥰
Gutted for you, I know this is going to be tough but you will get there. Your health is everything, stay strong, stay positive.😊
Thank you so much, it will be tough for sure but we've got this 💪 hopefully we'll be back to it asap. 👍
Oh my goodness! I am so sorry to hear your news. Sending love and will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Xxx
Thank you very much for the kind words we really appreciate it. We've got this 😁🥰
I’m so sorry you’ve had this bad news. I wish you a very speedy recovery. Please do keep us informed & sending healing vibes to you all.
Thank you so much, that's very kind of you. We'll keep the channel updated as well as Instagram and Facebook etc. Appreciate the support 🥰
All the best guys. We hope the recovery is quick and you can get back to your home soon.
Thank you - yes we hope the same. It's something to aim for - home ❤️☺️
Omg guys so sorry to hear that. Hope you're all doing well and get back to what you love doing best really soon. Love to all 😘
Thank you so much we really appreciate it 🥰
Love you guys! ❤ We’re here for the whole ride, however bumpy!
Thanks guys ❤️ It really means alot to us.
Guys positive thinking..I wish you fast recovery… and don’t worry we will be here waiting for you…😊
Thank you so much it means a lot to all of us 🥰
Sorry to hear that, hope that recovery will be faster than previous!
Yes we do too - thank you! We feel better prepared this time 💪
So sorry to hear the bad news, we actually had a delay coming back due to Jess needing surgery. Just concentrate on recovering well and remember Bulgaria isn't going anywhere, take care, love from us at #GBtoBG
We are big believers in things happening for a reason. Time is our most valuable asset but we hope this is the best solution for the long term. 👍 Hope Jess is better now
Good luck guys, it's much better that you do this surgery in the UK now where you have already doctors who know you, who know your case, and you'll have support from the family and solve it once and for all, than rush it, going back to Bulgaria and struggling so much.
Like others have said, Bulgaria will be there, the treasure you build for your children there as well. It will actually be a safe heaven for the complete recovery once all of this is done.
Don't feel down, we Bulgarians believe that everything is happening for a reason.
Totally agree, Kayleigh has a great surgical team here and is being seen in a specialist orthopaedic hospital so she couldn't be in a better place. We have always believed that things happen for a reason ❤️ our return home is already being planned so hopefully it won't be too long. Thank you for taking the time to comment 👍
Nicely said, The same can be said from us British when you address to say "We Bulgarians believe that everything is happening for a reason." Thank You Steven from England.
I’m so sorry about that guys… I mean I’m sorry, but also I’m happy as this problem can be resolved once for all!! No more pain , please be positive and support each other. Health is the most important , the land won’t run away it will wait for you to come back healthier and stronger 🖤
Thank you. Yes health is everything. We've got this💪 thanks for the support 🙂
Isn’t life just sh@te sometimes…. Plans will change, you’ve got this and just keep talking to each other… BG will still be there, your stamp on it is just delayed ❤
You're so right - We've always said that communication is the key to the best relationships and it's something we're really good at ❤️
I am sticking with you! I believe in you. I hope things go well for you Kayleigh and that you heal quickly and fully. 🤩
Thank you so much! 🥰
So sorry guys 😢 I am super confident for you all, and you will be back in BG where you belong. ❤️🙏 X
Thank you Jess! We'll be back asap. Xx🥰
Your truly are an amazing family, I feel your pain so much, possibly not a good choice of words knowing what you are facing on your onwards journey of repeated surgery from the 8th of Feb onwards.
your forward dreams will become reality so very soon albeit a little delayed as Kayleigh is one very determined lady supported by the rest of you which in itself will spur her forward no end.
big hugs to you all.
What a beautiful message - thank you so much for taking the time to comment 🥲 ❤️
Guys this is thumbs up from me because I know how strong you both are. Dig deep, Bulgaria 🇧🇬 awaits your return, it might not seem it now, but pain free in the long run will bring bigger benefits for you kayleigh. Thinking of you both. If you need a coffee or change of face message I will make the journey to mums. Stay strong. You've both got this. Denise Xxxx
One day all of these hurdles we've faced will make an epic Netflix series 🤣🤣 ❤️ the right route is never the easiest but often the best 👍
You guys inspire us so much. We have been following you since the beginning. It’s really strange because my wife has genuinely been worried about you both since your Christmas post.
We know you will conquer this setback. Looking forward to how the journey continues to unfold . Much love. 🙌🏾 ❤️ 🙌🏾
Thank you so, so much this means the world to us. We really appreciate your support, and we're looking forward to getting back to it as soon as we can. 🥰
When you going to return to Bulgaria please come in touch with us and visit us in the region of Gabrovo ❤
Sorry to hear this guys, stay positive and you will be back in bg 🇧🇬 before you know it. Thinking of you all xx
Thank you guys 🙏 We are focusing on the positives as much as we can. 💪
Aww my heart breaks for you and no one can truly know what you are going through except you. This is a horrible set back but I held my breath thinking I was going to hear the C word. I truly hope and for some reason feel this operation will fix the issues. I’m impressed with your words and positive attitude. Your young lad is amazing but he is resilient and I think his heart will be with his Mom. You have made great strides and you will get back to your dream property. A bump in the road and yes we’d love to see your progress but don’t worry about anything other than your family…health is number one without it nothing else matters. Beautiful ending with your loving hug and the ocean.You are young , healing will happen and you’ll do it!
Thank you so much for such a lovely comment. It means a lot 🥰🥰
Guys chin up, I’ve been through it myself with health up and down, mostly down. I thought 2024 was gonna be a good year too, I’ve just been told I need to have another surgery also. I’m not letting it get me down, it’s a positive if it makes me better and same goes for you. Everything will be fine, sending lots of love!
Cheers mate, we've got this! Really hope things work out for you too this year buddy. See you back over there (or here) at some point soon. 💪👍
Heartbreaking and frustrating. Sending you lots of support and sorry our health system could not help you. BG will always be there for you. Your land, your house. There are just moments of life treating us so unfair. Please support yourselves. Health is number 1. We are honoured to have so cool and civilised Brits here. You guys give a life in our country.
This is only temporary - we ride the lows as well as when we ride the highs of life. It's part of living 😊👍❤️
Nice Words left for Phill & Kayleigh, Steven from England 👍 Thank You.
I’m so sorry to hear if this.. praying 🙏🏻 for the next couple of months
Please do let us know how progress goes
It’s also heartening and inspiring to know that life in Bulgaria 🇧🇬 so far was fulfilling and affirming, worth exploring more
So kind of you to take the time to comment and think of us - thank you. We will update the Community Page on CZcams, get another video out as soon as we can and have regular updates on our Instagram instagram.com/offgridwiththeudens ❤️
Good Luck with your Op & recovery.
Thank you very much! 🙂
Hi guys.
Sorry to hear things aren't working out at the moment.
Nevertheless it's inspiring hearing that your mindset is focussed on the little positive things that are still there.
Give each other strength...the dream will become even sweeter when time allows you to go for it without constraints.
Don't feel discouraged not being able to give us the content we like...tbh it's brave of you to have a heart-to-heart conversation with your viewers.
Well done,
Be strong and speedy recovery.
Yes, we always said we would be as open and honest as we could on our videos. We will not let this stop us dreaming or making plans and the thought of home will keep Kayleigh going whilst she is recovering 😊
Chin up guys! Speedy recovery 💚
Thanks mate - hopefully this will be worth it in the long run and Kayleigh will be able to move and be pain free again soon!
Hey both.
It is just a set back for now,your health comes first for your family.well I am doing the same as you guys,I am renovating a property in Bulgaria 50km from Varna,been renovating the last 2 years on my own and love it to bit,the weather and life style is fantastic,I will be heading back the end of April driving a camper out with materials etc,if you both would like to meet and discuss things regarding Bulgaria I would try and help you,I have learned so much regarding the building side etc things you may need to know and maybe things I have missed that you can inlighten me,I am near London so if you fancy a meet for a coffee and a bite of lunch please let me know,.
You both have the rest of you lives to build your dreams as you both are still young.
Kindest regards.
Mark.
Thanks Mark, that's really kind. It's so great to get your teeth sunk into a project. 👍
You have made the right decision. The pain was your bodies way of saying its not right. There is no point you struggling for the next 50 years limping and causing wear and tear on other body parts. Needs to be fixed. It probably wont be 100% but 99% would be better than what you have at the moment. My brother had lots of surgery on his knee over the years at a young age and touch wood they got it sorted in the end and 15 years after the last op his mobility is still good!
Our health and time are our two most valuable assets ❤️ thank you for your kind words of support.
Sending you hugs guys ❤❤❤
Thank you guys! Hope you're all doing well. 🥰
Sending love and hugs from France❤
Thank you very much 🥰
So so sorry to hear this, great idea to go back over with Alex while recovering 😢. As you will be able to come back, there’s face time etc. at least you will be able to get a start on what you wanted todo. 😩🥰🥰🥰, speedy recovery sweetheart xxx
Thank you for taking the time to watch and then comment. It's heartbreaking but I know it's important to get it sorted now so that I'm fitter for the future. 😊
Take as much time as you need, our thoughts are with you guys, we would love to meet you one day whilst you're in the UK. ❤ Look after yourselves
Thank you so much guys. Life is what you make it 😊 Would be great to meet up if we can - we'll keep in touch 🙂
So sorry to hear your bad news .
Wish you all four of you all the best🙏
Thank you very much. We really appreciate it. 🥰
Health comes first! We hate it for you all, but it seems you have a good attitude about it.
We definitely will watch every video you put out and are subscribed.
We do think it's a good idea for Phil and Alex to go back, one to prepare the place for your return, and two to keep Alex constant in his freedom and school. Being able to stay with you mum and having her help will be invaluable.
Do you have a patreon or coffee support we can join?
Rose & Michael
Thank for your kind words of support Rose and Michael ❤️ We are not sure whether Alex will join Phil or not yet - think we will wait and see how he is closer to the time.
We do have a ☕Kofi support page, thank you for asking- ko-fi.com/offgridwiththeudens
OH my Phil & Kayleigh, you don't need to say sorry at all about this news update, and Kayleigh really sorry you have to go through such a complicated surgery yet again! But from your video we can see that you are both so amazingly positive, and so very strong, and we can totally understand you missing Bulgaria for sure. We hope to be back there again for good soon so we get it. We know we've not met but really hope we will one day (very soon) in Bulgaria!
We've decided to grow our channel about our return to Bulgaria journey now, but that's purely only because of you guys, and other competition (who have also posted messages to you lol) on here doing the same thing but in different ways.
You will get there for sure, your positivity is shining through - definitely not woe is us!! And we're wishing you loads and loads of luck, just be safe, hope the op goes well and recovery is speedy as can't wait for the day you tell us you're returning 'home' to Bulgaria! BIG HUGS Nikki & Darren
Aww thanks Nikki and Darren 😊 Really overwhelmed by the support and encouragement from everyone. Good luck with documenting your journey - we can't wait for Alex and Ember to be able to look back on how they helped build their home ❤️
Best of luck for the future.
Thank you - this certainly won't stop us!
❤ you are such a strong family, whatever the circumstances are now, I believe your strength will help you going through that
Thank you very much, this means a lot to us all 🥰🥰
Am so sorry to hear of your bad news. Am praying for you and things WILL get better. Hang in there and be positive despite the setbacks. My love to all as a family ❤
Thank you very much, we really appreciate it. 🥰🥰
Brave, beautiful people❤ - such an inspiration hearing your determination to get through this and find creative ways forward - sending healing vibes and lots and lots of love 🙏🤗
Thank you very much for the healing vibes and kind words ❤️
What an aweful set back, so cool you are still in the best postive attitude which is so needed to go through. The more respect and inspirational you are. You set the example.
Big love from us,
Natasja & Rose from the Netherlands who just started our own yt channel inspired by you!
We have a house in Hungary and as our channel is called. We do it our way (onze wijze)
We keep dollowing you, you are a wonderful family sharing us the honest life.
We wish you a speedy recovery! 🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️🧡🫶
That sounds fantastic 😊 documenting your journey to look back on really helps to remind yourself how much progress you have made. Thank you for taking the time to watch and then comment- we appreciate you ❤️
For what it is worth, I feel for you guys. More than I thought I would.
Stay strong!
Thank you very much 🙏 We're a strong family unit 💪
Hi Phill & Kayleigh
I’ve stumbled across your U-tube channel and have since been watching many of the videos you’ve enlisted. Your life’s story has been quite telling if I’m to be honest and has certainly pulled at my own heart strings.
I’ve watched where Phill towed the Caravan to Bulgaria, You’ve since cleared out the Barn, Phill’s built the Porch Walk Way in front of the Caravan, You’ve experienced a near miss of a fire to close for comfort near to your newly purchased land. To the point once again Kayleigh has had a stroke of bad luck with needing to have removed the plate from her leg.
But having watched this most recent video as it is saddening to hear of the heartbreak upsetting times you once again are experiencing but your health has to be of a priority over anything. Your Bulgaria land is yours that will be there when the times right for you all.
I would like to share from here, wishing you all the very Best of luck going forward, And if Phill does go back to Bulgaria with Alex on his own this may just be a good plan of action for the needs of Alex’s Schooling because sometimes we as humans can overlook ones possible interest in too much depth but mis out on other important matters within life. I had said your land is your land but perhaps see through while Phills not there who is maintaining it keeping the vegetation under control preventing risks of potential threats of fire on your land to your caravan Etc subject fact you have already experienced this potential risk and I thought it was worth a mention here as I’d genuinely would hate to hear of anything unpleasant to happen on the land, This is just Respectful sharing thought. While Kayleigh has her operation we’re all assured parents will look after Kayleigh. Subject to today’s modern technology’s it’s much easier now as we’ve the internet for daily facial communication so you can all communicate together should Kayleigh remain in England & Phill heads off to Bulgaria with Alex to keep maintenance of the land, Plus Alex will be able to continue with his Schooling. Again, this is just a heartfelt respectful thought but seriously good luck with everything guys. It’s the first time I’ve left comment for you and yes I’ve subscribed too. Look forward to watching more of your videos.
Take Care from me Steve here in Manchester.
Hi Steve. Wow - thank you for taking the time to leave us a such a long comment. We have a very strong belief that things happen for a reason and we do not doubt we will all be returning to the land VERY soon. We are extremely determined with some big plans we are desperate to put into action. Thanks for subscribing and following our journey 😊👍
@@OffGridWithTheUdens You are more than welcome, May I also Join you with the statement having strong beliefs when things put us in a position a change of direction, Difficult at the time of it happening but memorable later in life, We should never forget as I also believe Life is About Balance. We can only plan ahead but here’s something none of us expected at least just yet, What a surprize waiting for Kayleigh on her arrival home from hospital for little one - Ember to take her very first steps right in front of Kayleigh, I was gob smacked myself guys, and clearly like you say things unknown to us all do happen, But for Kayleigh regards Ember it’s something she’ll not forget in a hurry if ever at all. Wonderful moments seeing someone in new life taking their first steps.
Since I last commented, I see you have been back to Bulgaria after me having watched the more up to date videos. Phill your roofing job excellent work their fella, Well-done. If it were me though I’d put a gutter along the front and back as it would finish it off much better, Plus it will help redirect the water away from the front and back of the Canopy and Caravan surroundings, Just a thought for you because Guttering isn’t so expensive.
And of course determination is key and you appear to have plenty of this for sure. Take care guys I look forward to see more of your future upcoming videos. I’ve never been to Bulgaria but from seeing yours and many videos on CZcams it looks a really interesting place; it may be a Place to add to my bucket list and hope for in the future.
Finally hope everyone is doing well and Kayleigh is getting much better now after her operation with Alex in mind getting his much-needed education from Bulgaria with his Bulgaria language skills etc.
All the very best and until next time:
Steve - From Manchester.
🙏
🥰
Hey guys, we love watching your videos and keeping up with how your doing, hope this time is as pain and stress free as possible x
Would love to meet up with you!
Thank you so much guys that's really kind. Give us a shout if you ever get over to BG. 🥰
We love you guys ♥️
Thanks guys. 🥰🥰🥰
You guys will get there. No worries. Just work through the medical piece, and do what you need to do. Bulgaria isn't going anywhere.
Thank you for the kind words. We're hoping to be back out there as soon as we can, this set back takes as long as it takes. Like you say the country isn't going anywhere. 🥰
❤️
❤️
So sorry that things have turned upside down. Lets hope that you ARE going to repair soon .
Thank you. Kayleigh is making a really good recovery this time around, and we're hoping to all be back out in BG soon.
Best of luck guys ❤
Thank you very much, we appreciate it. 🥰
That must have been a difficult post to make. Very brave and I feel for you both..I'm heading to Bulgaria very soon...see you on the other side guys...big healing hugs x
Thank you very much. 🥰
Sad and frustrating news for you all, hoping for the speediest recovery possible. I’m sure you’re already planning it or even doing it already but use the time to build up a reserve of cash if possible. Scan facebook eBay ect for local bargains, so much stuff has much more value here so tools, household items, old TV’s and definitely sofas but I know the last thing is incredibly bulky but there are still low cost ways of getting stuff here. When you come back and if you’re driving over then you’re welcome to stop over with us in NE BG to break the trip a little. Fingers crossed that everything goes smoothly again soon
Thanks Bob really appreciate it. We are certainly planning to make the most of being here. Thank you for your kind words and support it means a lot. 😁
Ling time since I watched your channel but my friend watches you and told me. You will be well ❤ dont worry. Don't let depression get to you nobody us really healthy even kids and 20 year olds. Life will go on. Know you have the property waiting. Women have it hard and often not believed how bad it is. In the UK waiting times are horrible BUT at such time being with family is most important and language barrier would stress you out. Be brave know strangers in Bulgaria will pray for you even if you dint comeback you won't disappoint anyone you matter the most. When your better hope Bulgaria becomes your forever home or summer holiday destination like how it is for majority of UK property owners😊
Thanks for leaving a comment of support. We will absolutely be returning to Bulgaria - it is not a holiday home for us, but our full time home. We are a strong family and will get through this 😊👍
@@OffGridWithTheUdensglad to know ❤ wishing you luck on your journey 🙏you are a young couple you can get past this
Fingers crossed guys everything goes well. Keep the faith xxx
Thank you. 🥰
Praying 🙏 for u
Thank you. 🥰
Gutted for you both but you have a great mindset and that will get you through this. Fingers crossed you heal quickly my lovely and get your asses back over to your dream. Xxxxx
Thank you very much for such a lovely comment. You will see from our latest videos that we are now back in Bulgaria fit and well ❤️🩹
You sure are, I've not long found this guy's and now have binge watched to catch up. Looking forward to seeing so much more. Love your wee chap he is so lovely
@@lizwilson6633 thank you - we are very proud of them both ❤️
Wow! Things really do seem to have been awful for you guys recently. Maybe one day you will look back on this and see that you have learned from it and it has actually made you stronger. In the meantime, may God give you the strength and the patience to get through the next few months.
Thanks very much. Yes it's tough but we always come through these things stronger. Thanks for the kind words. 🥰
I missed Bulgaria so much when we were living in China. That is why I started my blog www.bulgariawithnoodles.blogspot.com It was a kind of therapy for me, while I waited to go back to our home. Finally, finally we retired in Bulgaria and now we have TWO homes, an apartment in Veliko Tarnovo (such a beautiful and interesting city) and a country house near Elena, with lovely views of Elenski Balkan. @@OffGridWithTheUdens
Best wishes. I hope that all goes well from today forward.
Thank you so much 🥰🥰
wishing you all the best ♥
Thank you. 🥰
Sending love ❤
Thanks Nicola. 😊 Your support means alot.
So sorry hear this, I can completely relate due to health issues my husband is going through. Maybe next year when everyone’s all well we can meet across in Bulgaria and you can teach Brian about solar power etc :) take care you can get through this Bulgaria and your home isn’t going anywhere! Xxx
So sorry to hear about Brian's health problems. We all have our ups and downs and it's so good to know there's a wider community supporting us ❤️ I keep telling Phil to make another video about the solar set up - he's learnt so much 👍
@@OffGridWithTheUdens do it Phil 😝
I've only just found your channel and wanted to say how sorry I am to hear your news. I wish you much good health, quick healing and a fast onward journey back to Bulgaria, and your home. As someone who has faced multiple challenges myself over the years, please be assured that you can overcome this seemingly impossible hurdle, and you will be on your path again soon ❤
Thank you for the kind words. Absolutely we're remaining positive and making the most of being here with family and friends. We're all looking forward to getting back and cracking on though. 🥰
Speedy recovery !

Stay strong guys Bulgaria will be here when you get back. Speedy recovery.
Thank you. The thought of home is keeping us going - we have so much we want to get on with 😊👍
It's only a small blip - we wish you a speedy recovery, and look forward to seeing you back in Bulgaria, living life to the fullest : )
Thank you so much 🥰
Thanks for the video clip. And I am sorry to hear that things have gone T*Ts up. But I am sure you will get back on track in the future.
It certainly won't stop us and we are already looking for opportunities to grow and learn whilst we are here.
Im so sorry to hear its so bad for your wife Kayleigh, I really hope removing it will solve the issues, but the bone recovery would indeed take along time, might wanna check into certain supplements to help the process while doing the fysio that is neded? I know she is strong and im confident you will get trough this together cant wait to hear more from you when its all better again
Thank you so much. Kayleigh is on the mend and all is going well so far. It's certainly a setback but we're remaining positive and doing what we can to make the most of the time here. Alex is extremely resilient and seems to handle everything thrown at him, he's a cracking lad and loves being in the videos too 🤣. Really appreciate you following our journey. There will be an update video soon. 😎👍

I wish you get better soon ❤
Thank you. I'm recovering very well - be sure to check out our latest video out tonight at 5pm (GMT)
Hey guys, well, that brought a tear to my eyes. I truly feel your pain despite not actually feeling your pain. I’m myself am currently trying to plan, research and learn about progressively getting over to Bulgaria. My uncle has bought a property a few years back and is also planning to get over there fully within a year and I’m also looking at various options and availability for purchasing a property myself. This is literally the first video I’ve watched of your journey and it must be heartbreaking to know that you were so close, despite now the setback for a good few months. I’m sure you’ve heard it million times, but keep up the positivity and focus on the good things to look forward to in the future... 😊
Just out of curiosity, which is the area that you live in as the backdrop there is stunning. Also, whereabouts in Bulgaria, have you purchased? 😊
Thanks for taking the time to comment ❤️ This is down on the coast in Eastbourne. We live in the south of Bulgaria in the Haskovo region. Do make sure you check out our other videos - we've documented everything up to now and as soon as we get back we will be releasing weekly videos. 👍
Come on guys, six months out of your young lives will change nothing. You have it all ahead of you to look forward too. You'll be back before you know it. Try and enjoy the extra time with your famo in the meantime :-)
Absolutely we're making the most of being here as much as we can. Thanks for the comment 👍
❤❤❤
Thank you 😊
That’s distressing news. Is the future surgery due to mistakes from the last surgery? I hope everything goes well.
Thank you, I don't think so but we were told that the plate they put in there will be there for life and it hasn't managed a year 🫤. Sometimes these things just happen and its hard to accept but that's the way it is, onwards and upwards 🙂
I hope that's not too invasive. But I also went through health problems and I learned a lot from them. every illness has a cause. and a lot can be cured with proper nutrition. I was vegan for a few years and it cost me a lot. so let me tell you a few things. Eat vegetables, but make sure to only eat those that are low in lectins. These with lectines need to prepared RIGHT. (Nightshades like tomato, cucumber, paprika, legumes), like this is SO important. I recommend the book “Plant Paradox”. eat good sources of protein such as grass-fed beef, organic chicken, bone broth, good eggs, collagen. Raw milk, raw milk cheese and NO pasture milk. Avoid conventional milk and milk products that are completely heated. It is easiest for our body to absorb all the important amino acids from animal products. GLUTEN is also an issue, today's grain products are highly processed and are no longer real food. Try to avoid it completely for a few weeks. if bread, then sourdough! buy or make your own. and organic flour. everything else is full of pesticides and poisons us. Don't use too much vegetable oils, as they are highly inflammatory. There is a lot of research to do on this. Instead, use gee, organic beef tallow, organic butter, coconut oil and if plant-based, then VIRGIN. Books to read: “Nutrition and Physical Degeneration” by Weston A. Price, Barbara O’Neill also researches. Also important topics are supplementing vitamins such as vitamin D, good sleep, physical exercise, breathing exercises, meditation, healing the nervous system. This is the path to holistic healing. but diet and the daily poisoning by western, “modern” diet is a very big part. I hope that’s not too much and that the message reaches you. I wish you all the best! ❤
Thank you for the information. Moving out to BG is part of a massive lifestyle change for us and we are planning to adopt some of these things already 😊 thanks for the comment.
👍👍
Are you OK with the NHS as you said you were resident in bg. I was in Spain for awhile and they made me wait 6 months before any NHS services
Thanks for the comment, Kayleigh is still under consultant care since the last operation so we've been put on an urgent list.
♥️♥️🙏🍀
🥰
Have you thought about reselling?
Never say never, but our property is really one of a kind because of the land type. We know we would be hard pushed to find something like it elsewhere. We love our home so right now it is not an option for us.
