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 […]

This week I want to flag up what is upcoming for the children who attend the Centre for Exceptional Learners in the Best of Eleuthera series – the Special Olympics Bocce Tournament here in Eleuthera. They take part every year in the Special Olympics – mostly a track and field event that happens in Nassau in the summer. But the […]
This last week saw the 4th annual Eleuthera All That Jazz Festival here in Governors Harbour – fantastic ! Every year it grows more – events spanned over 5 days and there appeared to be record numbers of people attending at the different venues. The weather was very kind to us – not too hot and thankfully the rain held […]
We get to meet some wonderful people here in Eleuthera – and this week I am writing about one special person – the chocolatier Oliver Kita. We first met Oliver about 18 months ago – he was visiting Governors Harbour and staying with friends at Wykee Estates. We were invited for a fabulous dinner party – the food was delicious […]
In the Best of Eleuthera series I want to highlight the upcoming festival of Eleuthera All That Jazz 2016 – happening all over Eleuthera from March 30th – April 3rd.

The gift shop is situated right in the center of Governors Harbour on the corner opposite Da Perk cafe – facing Queens Highway and right on […]
Now a tongue in cheek look at the Governors Estate, Eleuthera Art Appreciation society – 2 members so far – Bob and myself – plus hopefully some of our renters. Sometimes trying think of what to blog about can be frustrating – mostly it is about the island of Eleuthera and what goes on here or about our travels. But […]
The Harbour Boutique – right here in Governors Harbour is the latest place to feature in my Best of Eleuthera series. It is on Cupid’s Cay – sitting right in between Paul Simmons Customs Brokers and Judy Simmons Waterfront Cafe in the block overlooking the harbor. The Waterfront Cafe is the perfect spot to sit and enjoy a delicious ice-cream […]
Lakia’s Variety Store in Palmetto Point -another hidden treasure I want you all to know about in my Best of Eleuthera series…… Run by Lorraine Thompson and open since 23rd March 2006 it is named after one of her 4 daughters. Don’t you think it’s great the way Lorraine wrote the date in the cement of the step at the […]
