The week before Christmas in Governors Harbour– how quickly that has come and how much there is to do and enjoy ! Always important to remember in the rush of everything to savour these times…… There are so many people in the world who, for one reason or another are not able to enjoy the season, that it is important […]
Christmas is coming to Governors Harbour – and fast ! Last Thursday we had our regular Christmas pizza Party at Tippy’s with the children and staff from the Exceptional Learners Centre. Sadly the fantastic students from the US University who have been working there had to leave before the party so it was just Mr Bill Holland and Ms Dolly […]
So we decided that a visit to the famous Art Basel in Miami was on the cards for the Colmans especially as Bob’s son Cassius and his gorgeous partner Jessie were there researching new artists for their London Gallery – Nelly Duff. The show is enormous with numerous venues in South Beach as well as spreading over into the design […]

This week I thought it would be fun to tell you about the blogs I like to read here in Governors Harbour.

Well – what a week it has been in Governors Harbour ! At the end of last week’s blog I was saying that we were watching, waiting and preparing for the imminent visit of Hurricane Joaquin. We went to bed on Wednesdy evening with Tropical Storm Joaquin heading our way – but when we woke up on Thursday morning he […]
This week in Governors Harbour – what’s been happening apart from Bob’s birthday ? So Tuesday 29th September was Bob’s birthday and he had a mostly relaxing day…… Breakfast in bed, lots of birthday cards to open, including one from Sami his daughter – except when he opened it – it was a Father’s Day card – posted in London […]
