Ilyan, Yanitsa and Paul raise a glass at The Bridford Inn Beer Festival
Ilyan (20) and his attractive girlfriend Yanitsa (21) from Bulgaria have moved into the Teign Valley looking for work and are now employed in a local bakery making cakes and other delicious goodies at Christow (Teign Valley Bakery) – I met them recently and took them to the Bridford Vintage Tractor Rally on the Dunsford Straight for a glass in the beer tent and introduced them to Paul Adams over a pint.
Yanitsa’s not totally sure!! Was it the Owl or the handler that was the greater worry!!!
Paul amongst many other interests is a keen ornithologist and as I didn’t have my camera to hand I asked Ilyan if he would kindly take a few photos of the birds of prey on display in one corner of the show. He was very happy to oblige and some time later downloaded them for me to add to my Blog Diary. The couple are now accommodated in Dunsford and very happily working……..they add colour, character and fun to the Village. Long may they remain.
Paul and Yanitsa admire the largest bird of prey on display – a Russian Stepps Eagle
Uncannily there’s a definate resemblance!!
‘ome ‘James’ and dont spare the ‘orses!!
