More travels with Kathy and Bob

More this week about our travels – with Kathy and Bob back in London after visiting Roussillon and Marseille in France.

For us taking a vacation usually […]

Travels with Kathy and Bob …..

So this week the blog – instead of being about Eleuthera – is about travels with Kathy and Bob – in France and London. Living in a place like Eleuthera means that our trips have a different slant to many people’s idea of a vacation. We usually fly to London first – as we did this time – and spend […]

Best of Eleuthera – Eleuthera Community Farms

Best of Eleuthera – Haynes Library Governors Harbour

So next in my series Best of Eleuthera here is a look at Haynes Library in Governors Harbour. The distinctive old pink building right on the harbour is a real local landmark.

A passion for reading – my favorite pastime.

Joy came to the Bahamas as a young woman in 1946 immediately after the Second World War and married local man Loraine Pyfrom a few years later. She is a wonderful […]

Gratitude – appreciating what is good every day of your life

Gratitude and appreciating what is good every day of your life is one of the things I always associate with my late father – also called Bob ! He made me understand that being happy is not found in reaching some mythical state – when you have this much money in the bank or that new car or when you […]

A day out to Nassau ……

Every now and again – not too often – I have to take a day out to Nassau – business to take care of – mothers to be sorted out – sisters to collect ! So last week with my 87 year old Mum in tow we took the Pineapple Air flight first thing in the morning off to Nassau. […]

Bat moth caterpillars in Eleuthera

Yesterday I saw this amazingly colored bat moth caterpillar right here in Eleuthera – it was at least 3 inches long … Orange and lime green – two of my favorite tropical colors !
