This week I am going to tell you about the work that we have started on the old Cigatoo Hotel right here in Governors Harbour. But first I want to thank all of you who sent messages and emails wishing us well for the impending visit of Hurricane Irma. Well thank goodness, as you all know by now, she passed […]
Eleuthera
OK – so not a long blog this week as we are in the midst of making preparations for the visit of Hurricane Irma. As all of you know by now she is a bit of a horror – the islands that she has already hit are devastated – and the trail of human misery she is creating is just […]
News this week about how to go swimming with the pigs in Eleuthera as well as a few bits and bobs . I was talking with a friend the other day about a wonderful trip that she took with friends to go and swim with pigs right here in Eleuthera. Of course swimming with the pigs has until now meant […]
The healthiest native Bahamian dish to eat – in my opinion – is fresh conch salad – and you can get it right here in Governors Harbour. J J Hepburn – a Governors Harbour man born and bred – has a stand on the harbour ramp outside our office on weekdays and a stand at Fish Fry on a Friday […]

This week we have been on our travels – a quick trip to Key West for a wedding – but we also experience the circle of life here in Eleuthera. It was our first trip to Key West and following lots of advice we decided to drive down there. Of course , living where we do means that a road […]

It has all been a bit chaotic with plans changing at the last minute – but one thing is certain – the kids expect and deserve their party ! Fortunately the Buccaneer is within easy walking distance for them […]
Usually my blog is pretty upbeat, bringing you good news of what we have been up to and what is happening – but this week I am feeling the sad times as well as the good here in Eleuthera….. Often on social media everything looks good and positive but we all know that our lives are also interspersed with terribly […]
This week we visited the Other Side – right here in Eleuthera – no not some strange other worldly experience – but a visit to a fabulous resort called The Other Side ! It is on the mainland of Eleuthera – just across from Harbour Island – and has just been given a great write up Conde Nast Traveller magazine……. […]
This week I want to bring you up to date with the latest progress at the former Duck Inn site – right here in Governors Harbour. The landscaping is taking shape beautifully – parking areas are now well defined and the houses themselves are looking very pretty. I am a bit of a pain when it comes to colors for […]
