Doral , tiles and dinner parties !

This week I had to take a quick trip to Florida to choose tile for a couple of our projects and check out some kitchen details as well …… This visit I decided to stay at the Sonesta Hotel again – right at the end of Sunrise Blvd in Fort Lauderdale. It is a while since I stayed here and […]

Upgrades at the Yellow House + a christening !

Keeping the houses in tip top shape here at Governors Estate means upgrades every now and then – the Yellow House just underwent one. The downstairs bedroom is often used by the older or less mobile so it made no sense to have a deep tub in the en-suite bathroom. As we had a 2 week break between renters we […]

A week in Governors Harbour Eleuthera

This week in Governors Harbour I was asked to go along to the annual tennis camp that Artie Johnson organises – this is the 17th ! – to give a short talk to the young participants about living a life that is happy and successful ! – no pressure then …… It is good to think about these things from […]

Governors Harbour to New York City !

So we had a wonderful time – all the way from Governors Harbour to New York City… Actually it is a pretty easy trip – we flew JetBlue from Nassau direct in to JFK. The flight is only about 2hrs 20minutes and then a taxi ride into SoHo. We were in the Crosby Street Hotel by 2.15pm. And what a […]

Getting ready for an adventure in New York !

Feeling very excited this week as we are getting ready for an adventure in New York ! We have a few chores to do in Nassau first but then we are off to Manhattan for an exciting week …… We are staying at the Crosby St Hotel in SoHo – this is a hotel designed, furnished and owned by a […]

Away for a long weekend from Eleuthera

So we just went away for a long weekend – leaving Eleuthera behind us…… it was a trip to Fort Lauderdale and Miami and was primarily to stock up on a lot of tools and such like – lovely trips to Lowes, Home Depot and Harbor Freight Tools – but it was a fun trip ! I don’t know why […]

Working hard in Governors Harbour…….

At the moment we are working very hard here in Governors Harbour. The restoration of Cornerwall House and Flora’s Cottage is going great guns. The site of the former Duck Inn is a hive of activity. The cedar shingles are just going on to the roof at Flora’s Cottage. The swimming pool at the back of the house is looking […]

Eleutheramania International 3 on 3 Basketball Tournament

This week saw the very first Eleutheramania International 3 on 3 International basketball Tournament right here in Governors Harbour. This was the idea of Bob’s elder son Joel Colman who organized it in conjunction with Demetrius Johnson – the same Demetrius who is involved with Junior Junkanoo. Joel lives in London and is involved in basketball as some of his […]

On being a competition judge in Eleuthera…..

Being a judge for any competition in Eleuthera is a responsibility – competitors always hope to win and it is hard to dash their hopes. Last week I was one of the judges in the Emma Cooper Primary School inter house reading competition. Such a delight – as many of you know – reading is one of my favorite pastimes […]

A trip to the Exuma Cays – swimming with the pigs !

It is not often enough that Bob and I take a trip around the Bahamas – but this week we did – we took a trip to the Exuma Cays and went swimming with the pigs ! We have heard about it from various sources and so when our good friends Tommy and Natasha Sands from Rock Sound asked us […]
