Hello, I'm Kathy Colman and I write about Eleuthera and other things.
So this week we have a report from Dr Claire Verden about the Educators for Eleuthera Summer Camp and also news of introducing Big Dog Leon – the GHFR fire truck to the community on Friday at Fish Fry. Firstly let me hand the blog over to Claire ….. “It is hard to believe that August is upon us, and […]
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 […]
So this week we all want to wish dear Michele Johnson the happiest of happy birthdays. Many of you will know Michele from The Buccaneer , The Haynes Library and many of her other numerous involvements. She is a very special woman who has been immersed in this community in central Eleuthera ever since she first came here many years […]
Yes – you read that right – we had a date night last week at Tippy’s – and very enjoyable it was too ! I don’t know about the rest of you but we seem to have forgotten how nice it can feel to go out at night to have a meal. Since lockdown we have definitely got out of […]
Yes – great news if you haven’t heard it already that no tests or travel visas are required anymore to travel to and from the Bahamas. For us that means no antigen test to travel to the US or back home here. Of course this only applies if you are fully vaccinated – if you are not then you still […]
News this week of the rest of our trip to Florida including eating at the Surf Club and also news that Hot Buns is now open here in Governors Harbour. Hot Buns has had a quiet slide into opening. They are not quite fully operational but what we see so far is great. Bob and I had a takeout sandwich […]
This last weekend we had two public holidays – Friday was Labor Day and Monday was Whit Monday – so it made for a lovely long break. The weather was appalling for a holiday – I am talking about torrential rain – actually what we were getting was rain from Tropical Storm Alexa. So it was hunkering down time and […]
Yes – pineapples, poincianas and parties are all featured in this week’s blog. As I wrote the other week pineapple season is well and truly here – they are absolutely delicious as well. We are very lucky to be gifted with the very best pineapples – thanks this week to the lovely Eva Thompson from Gregory Town for an absolute […]
Yes dear friends – it is 8 years since I started this blog and I can’t believe that I still find things to ramble on about after all this time – right ? I am putting a link HERE to the very first post that I wrote…. Much has happened in those 8 years and I think that I will […]
Yes this week you get to hear about pineapples – back in season on island , a graduation and our bookshelves at Sprawling Towers. Pineapple season is here again in Eleuthera – the best sweetest and juiciest pineapples ever – not that I am biased in any way you understand . This week we were very generously gifted 6 pineapples […]
