Life on island in September has its own rhythm and pace which is quieter through until the end of October. Of course there are not nearly so many people here visiting and as I have written about before so many of our restaurants are closed. And so we rely on ourselves for cooking nice meals and being grateful for having […]
Here we are – late August already in Eleuthera. That of course means that a lot of places are closed already or are about to …. Tippy’s closed on Sunday, The Buccaneer closed at the end of last week. The Island Farm is closing this Saturday – just time to stock up on all the freezer goodies from there. I […]
This week a look at the proposed developments in Central Eleuthera. There was a town meeting last week at Workers House where the developers of the French Leave / Club Med site gave a presentation of what they are proposing. It includes a 5 star boutique hotel with residences surrounding it as well as approximately 50 – 70 houses which […]
Well dear readers – what a spectacular culinary experience at The Cove this past weekend. And not just the culinary experience – the whole weekend was wonderful. It was relaxing and a lot of fun all set in the most beautiful resort. This was the first time that Bob and I have ever stayed there and it was fabulous ! […]
Here we are in late July with a bit of this, that and the other ! Loving having Jane around – nothing special up to now but news to come later of a special treat we will be enjoying. In the meantime shocking news in that I enjoyed a football match during the World Cup ! Actually I find football […]
Just asking – what do you know about sea lice this week ? I found out much more than I wanted to know when I was stung by them last week. In fact sea lice are jellyfish larvae which get trapped inside your swimsuit and then sting you. At first it just feels itchy and prickly but within a short […]
Hello dear readers – and yes we have a hot summer here in Eleuthera ….. I’m not sure if you have read about El Nino but word is that temperatures will be very high this year – but the threat of hurricanes should be lower than normal. The ocean is a beautiful temperature – not too warm but absolutely perfect […]
Celebrating mangoes, pineapples and poincianas in Eleuthera this week…. But first I wanted to let you know – if you don’t already know – that the Island Farm had a fire two weeks ago. The new building on the right as you walk in where all the freezers were containing meat, fish and all other frozen items was the one […]
Happy June to the readers of Kathy’s wonderful blog! It seems that summer is almost upon us which is hard to believe given the winter many of us had here in the Northeast U.S. In less than 3 weeks our summer camp program will begin at Emily G. Petty Primary School in Governors Harbour. If you are new to Kathy’s […]
Hello dear readers – seeing super clearly now after last week in the US. My second cataract operation went really well – and no virus this time thank goodness. No reading glasses for even the tiniest print – and the whole world looks like it has been spring cleaned ! We stayed the first two nights down in Aventura which […]
Yes dear readers there has been plenty going on in Eleuthera this past week. Firstly there was a national election in the Bahamas – the current government was returned with a landslide victory. This is the first second term administration since 1997 in the Bahamas – and hopefully it will bring continuity which is much needed. A change of government […]
Hello dear readers – here we are meandering into May in Eleuthera. The weather has been very rainy – which is always welcome unless you are trying to get outside painting done ! But on we go and there are plenty of other jobs that the painters can get on with. We have also had some very long power outages […]
