"The Village Spring, A Tiny Chapel, and the Worst Crumble I've Ever Made"

The village spring — water over stone before the world wakes up is the closest I get to church.A slow morning in rural Bulgaria: the spring, a wooded hill walk, a tiny chapel with two brand new orthodox icon paintings watching over the valley... and then home to the garden, where the rhubarb needed replanting and where a rogue jar of damson chutney turned my crumble into a vinegar casserole last Sunday. Slow living. Not the pretty kind. The real kind.🌿 In this video: • The village spring at dawn. • A walk through to the local chapel. • Two new orthodox icon paintings — and some thoughts on faith, nature, and what I actually believe. • Replanting rhubarb in the kitchen garden (spring has proper plans this year) • The Great Damson Disaster — a jar, a crumble, and the worst thing I have ever tasted📍 I'm Inky — living slowly in rural Bulgaria after a life spent between the UK, France, and Spain. No drama. No performance. Just a real life, honestly told.🌱 Visit the Inky Garden shop: www.inkygarden.com Music by: Bensound.com/royalty-free-musicArtist: Lunar YearsLicense code: LYXQDXP3S1WNRJPQ Should you wish to support my work you can do so via this link: paypal.me/inkygardenxx Thank-you ever so much! xx 0:00 Good morning from the village chapel 1:13 A dying village: from 2,000 to 60 souls 2:06 The village spring & a mysterious sign 3:16 Nature as my church 4:29 Rhubarb, a bathtub & spring planting 5:11 The worst crumble ever made 6:45 Coming soon: the Life Stories series
