News this week that I am taking a little break from this blog. As you all know I am very proud of the fact that I have not missed a week in 9 years but I am in a situation where it is not viable for me to continue for the time being. Briefly my Mum, Mary, has some health …
Pineapples, pizza and pouring rain – this last week we have had all three here in Eleuthera. The pineapple season is in full swing here in the Bahamas and some of the very best ones come from Gregory Town. We were gifted another 3 beauties from Philip Farm up in Gregory Town and whilst we are enjoying them I decided …

This weekend we will be watching the King’s Coronation in London on TV – I think our invitation must have got lost in the mail – plus a little look back to May 2020 when we were in lockdown. The Coronation starts at 11am UK time – 6am here – but I am always up and about around that time …
