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 […]

So every now and then we find ourselves taking a break off the rock of Eleuthera to visit Florida – Fort Lauderdale and Miami. This year we are not taking a vacation to Europe as we have done over the last few years – family are visiting us from London instead, so we just took a short 5 day break […]
This week I have been styling a couple of houses in Governors Harbour for photographs – here is how I do it…. The photographs are to be used for vacation rentals and I have 2 clients that I have set up the houses for. I have worked with this particular photographer a good few times so it is now quite […]
Here we are now near the end of August and the rhythm of the summer in Eleuthera is changing pace. The weather is still extremely hot and the ocean is scarily warm – never a good sign in hurricane season. At the time of writing Hurricane Erika is heading our way. We try to balance taking sensible precautions without scaremongering […]
This week we have been celebrating a birthday in Governors Harbour Eleuthera- mine ! I know that plenty of people do not share my enthusiasm for celebrating their own birthdays – but I have always found it a joy and a reason to bring out the bunting. For me and my two sisters birthdays have always been a joyous celebration. […]
I was recently reading in a magazine how different people relax so I decided that a blog on how I relax here in Governors Harbour would be fun….. Becoming aware of the things that we do to recharge our batteries is a very important step to making sure that we do them on a regular basis. Life is busy and […]
So after last week’s warm up here is the news on travels to Toronto with Kathy and Bob ! What a great city – friendly, clean, safe and very visitor friendly. We flew with WestJet from Nassau – just under 3 hours – an airline I vowed I would fly with after seeing their Christmas promotion a couple of years […]
So the latest travels with Kathy and Bob began with a night in Nassau. When we travel I absolutely hate to start with early morning flights – so now as a gift of kindness to ourselves we will take a sensibly timed flight and stay the night near the airport….. Flying to Toronto at 2pm would have meant taking the […]
This week’s Best of Eleuthera post highlights a chef in my kitchen – cooking a meal for Bob, myself and friends. I love to entertain but sometimes the pressure of work can make what should be a pleasurable experience into a tiring exercise. So when I heard that talented chef Stephanie Mariscal – formerly Burrows – had moved back to […]
So one of my not so secret passions is Indian Food – not too easy to indulge when you live in Eleuthera ! When I first left home at the age of 19 – nearly a hundred years ago !!! – I went to live in city in the UK called Leicester. Even then it had a large Asian population […]
