Macedonia
Hello from Macedonia! Is there anyone else here from the Balkans? Or anywhere around Southern Europe?

I am originally from Scotland, married to a Macedonian guy after we both met in Greece. We've been living between Crete, Scotland and Macedonia over the years but we're now settled in Macedonia with our two kids. We bought some land and are trying to be as self sufficient as possible. It's lovely here, although we've had so much rain recently that we've lost like 90% of our cherries, not good, and apart from all my salads which seem to be loving all the water everything else has taken a battering and my veggie plots are not looking as good as they should be :( But at least we didn't get all the flooding that they got in Serbia! People have died, there's been landslides and major flooding from all the rain and they are making appeals for aid. The weather is getting crazier every year - the effects of global warming are already upon us. Scary stuff, and a disaster for farming!

On a more positive note, it's lovely and sunny and hot today. I need to go out and do some weeding and earthing up. What's going on where you live?
 
Hello Macedonia from Tonganoxie, KS in the US. My family originates from Scotland. I am related to William Wallace. My husband is from Croatia so I am guessing you are about 7-8 hours ahead of me. I will be going to bed soon and you will be getting up. The torrential rains over there is heart breaking! The weather is plain NUTS!!
 
It's nice to see sunshine more often than not! However out is a rainy morning here!
Hope you don't mind me saying hi from across the pond. I know you were looking for people close to your vicinity to connect with.
 
Of course i don't mind!

I know what you mean about being white!!!! I am the same way. I didn't get my father's red hair BUT I got the skin that goes with it!!! Sometimes I'm afraid I'll get sunburned from the light in the refrigerator. :)
We do go over to visit family when we can but it's expensive buying 5 plane tickets! If I had my way we would go every year, especially since my mother in law moved back there 4 -5 years ago.
