Hello, I'm Kathy Colman and I write about Eleuthera and other things.
Yes – here we are slipping rapidly through September – and the day after this is published we will be on a plane to London looking forward to catching up with friends and family. We are going to stay at the Ham Yard Hotel in Soho – another of the Firmdale Group of hotels owned and run by Kit Kemp …
Sad news that the Queen of England – Elizabeth 2nd – died last week. Although she was 96 years old many people just expected her to live forever. Or at least until she was a hundred years old and beyond as her own mother had. But she died quietly and quickly in Balmoral Castle – one of her very favorite …
Hello to you all dear readers – I hope that all is well with you. Here we are in September and the island is getting quieter and quieter. So not much happening here at all apart from our own building project which is moving on apace …. Last week as I think I told you Bob and I had a …

So last week we completed on the sale of our lovely home heralding the end of the Buena Vista Years. We bought the house in July 2004 and have had a very happy time there. I have written before about how I feel that the spirit of the house has a female essence for me. I am not saying that …

When your bank is in Harbour Island, Eleuthera it is not the most convenient thing. It means that there are times when internet banking just will not help. Such as when you have to collect replacement credit cards – it means a visit to the branch to pick them up. RBC has closed it’s branches in Governors Harbour and Spanish …
This week is a week to be thankful for all the good things around us here in Eleuthera. Big Dog as he was known in the US – the fire truck – is here actually in Eleuthera now – the shipping went seamlessly and we are all so very happy to see it here. It is going to be called …
This week I am bringing you a lovely update on the GHFR Fire Truck as well as other stories … Two of the members of the Governors Harbour Fire and Rescue Department took a trip over to the US to be trained on the actual fire engine that has been purchased for Governors Harbour. They were coached by the fire …
