A Brand New Vilton Open now in Yambol

Brand New, Vilton, Open, Yambol,

There are numerous Vilton shops open in Yambol and now there is a new one to add their collection. This one sells Fruit and Vegetable, whereas all the other branches don't, just groceries. Good to see a Bulgarian company doing well albeit only trading in Sliven and Yambol as I found out recently.

Plastic in Plastic on Wood in Yambol

Plastic, Wood, Yambol,

Not quite sure what to make of this in terms of being eco-friendly. I guess it is halfway there with the big plastic bottle being reused as a bin, but then there is plastic within that could have also been reused or collected for recycling. I guess after 2 litres of beer that thought never occurred!

An Abandoned Car in Yambol

Abandoned Car, Yambol,
Quite often you see a scene and assume things. This car for example used to be parked further up the road in exactly the same state as it is now. It had been there for a few years. We, of course, assume the car is abandoned, but then it moved into a different position as seen. To it hasn't been abandoned as such, just being stored for whatever reason.

Walking past a cornfield in Yambol there was a great din of buzzing. As I investigated I noticed hundreds of thousands of bees gathering nectar from the flowering corn. If you zoom into the picture you can see what I mean. This, of course, is just one corn head of thousands in this field.

The Giddy Heights of Advertising in Yambol

Giddy Heights, Advertising, Yambol,

Ways to get known by advertising are wide and varied as we are controlled by these systems. However, the giddy heights of this advertisement from Mania, a second-hand clothing trader, defeats their objective to get noticed. No one notices it as is too high and not in anyone line of vision. I also think that a strong wind would bring it down, and then they'd get noticed.

A Flower Box That Needs Attention in Yambol

Flower Box, Needs Attention, Yambol,
Well, I guess some people have other things to do rather than attending to a flower box in Yambol. This particular flower box in this condition was quite a surprise considering it is situated on the Billa supermarket grounds. It is obvious no one has pointed the eyesore out to them.

In a year where the garden produce isn't very productive due to an early wet summer, you will find that prior to that the onions and garlic were more successful. Hence you will find many households with hanging onions and garlic in Yambol, usually in a garage or basement room. These seen were spotted in a garage that I spotted as it was open.

Superb Cake and Coffee Shop in Yambol

Superb, Cake and Coffee Shop,Yambol,
Although quite expensive, this cake and coffee shop is the business. We've treated ourselves probably just three times over the last 13 years here from the point of cost, but each time the cakes were superb. This would be on;;y reason for going to Kaufland supermarket as it is situated on their premises.

I fail to figure out what this strange metal system is on a street in Yambol. It is a permanent fixture going underground. I am guessing it might be something to do with water, but it remains a mystery.

This is must typical of what you will find in Yambool when it comes to being practical, economical and of course, works. I raised kerb by laying two blobs of cement and criss-cross them to prevent standing water. That is all that is needed to solve a problem and a minimum of cost and workload!
