Spring comes to Geshaview...

Although Bulgaria had a very harsh winter with temperatures of -20ºC the spring sunshine brings out the greens of the trees coming into leaf.

Good health and luck for the coming year!

On the first day of March and for a while afterwards, Bulgarians exchange and wear white and red tassels or small dolls called "Pizho and Penda". In Bulgarian folklore, Baba Marta (or Grandma March) is a grumpy old lady whose moods change rapidly.

This is an old pagan tradition that remains almost unchanged today. The common belief is that by wearing the red and white colours of the martenitsa people ask Baba Marta for mercy.
The hope is that winter will pass faster and bring spring. A Martenitsa is usually worn pinned on the clothes or tied around the wrist. The tradition calls for wearing the martenitsa until the person sees a blossoming tree.

Some people tie their martenitsa on a branch of a fruit tree, thus giving the tree health and luck, which the person wearing the martenitsa has enjoyed himself while wearing it.

The colours of the martenitsa are interpreted as symbols of purity and life, as well as the need for harmony in Nature and in people's lives.

The snow at Geshaview

After a period of sub zero temperatures and heavy snowfall, the sun came out and the snow started to melt. The pictures below give a flavour of just how deep the snow was.

Picturesque view of the village.

Melting snow creates a half frozen waterfall.

The pathway to the office shows how deep the snow was.

A video of picture taken earlier this month can be seen on the Geshaview YouTube channel.

Heavy snowfalls blanket Geshaview...

Geshaview at the end of 2011

The past year saw the landscaping at Geshaview continuing with the construction of the bridge and pond as well as the stone walling and paths for access to the View Cafe. The roads and pathways around the village were also completed. Work on the Courtyard continued with the cobble stone flooring being laid and the balconies and balustrading installed. The interiors of the shops were also prepared for use.
We take a brief tour of the village to see how it has matured during 2011.
