So this week saw Hurricane Matthew passing us by in Eleuthera and then travels with Mary – to Fort Lauderdale. Firstly we are all so incredibly grateful that Hurricane Matthew took a turn to the west and barely brushed us really. We had some incredible horizontal rain – for long periods of time and some very strong gusty winds – […]

Some weeks there is very little news to write about – Bob calls these blogs – much ado about nothing here in Governors Harbour ! Except of course to bring you up to date on what is happening at the various sites we are working on …… And there is plenty happening. At the old Duck Inn site we are […]
Although living here in Eleuthera is really wonderful, sometimes you need to find the time for a short break and so last weekend we took off for a few days to Florida….. there were chores to be done of course – all the usual – Home Depot, Lowes, Harbor Freight Tools and of course Ikea as well. Plus a very […]
Rudge has finally landed here in Colman Towers right into his Gucci slippers ! Rudge for anyone who has not been paying attention is our gorgeous new Potcake puppy – just about 8 weeks old now. We picked him up last weekend – and bought him home. He was bathed and fussed and petted – well the fussing and petting […]
Now it is nearing the end of the season here in Governors Harbour, this week I am giving a quick roundup of what’s happening. Well the weather is still very hot and we are all hoping that a lot of rain may come our way but we will see. There are still visitors here on the island – but it […]
So we found our new potcake love story right here in Eleuthera…. Well more accurately in Tarpum Bay …. As I said in last week’s blog we were starting to look for a new puppy. It is six months now since our very special potcake Joe Loius died and although he will be impossible to replace, for both Bob and […]
Well – it is my favorite time of year – my sister Jane is here in Eleuthera for a month – yippee ! She has come out every year since we moved here twelve years ago – on her own this year …. Sam, my nephew, did come out last year but at 24 he has a busy life and […]
This week I had to take a quick trip to Florida to choose tile for a couple of our projects and check out some kitchen details as well …… This visit I decided to stay at the Sonesta Hotel again – right at the end of Sunrise Blvd in Fort Lauderdale. It is a while since I stayed here and […]
Keeping the houses in tip top shape here at Governors Estate means upgrades every now and then – the Yellow House just underwent one. The downstairs bedroom is often used by the older or less mobile so it made no sense to have a deep tub in the en-suite bathroom. As we had a 2 week break between renters we […]
This week in Governors Harbour I was asked to go along to the annual tennis camp that Artie Johnson organises – this is the 17th ! – to give a short talk to the young participants about living a life that is happy and successful ! – no pressure then …… It is good to think about these things from […]
