Hello, I'm Kathy Colman and I write about Eleuthera and other things.
A quick trip to Florida for the Colmans this week. So guess what – a few details of meals we have eaten and things we have done. We flew on Monday – of course with Aztec – and let me tell you it was a long and bumpy ride. There was a weather system over Fort Lauderdale and the surrounding …
Yes friends – Happy Easter to you all who celebrate it and happy day off or 2 to those of you who don’t….. Over here we have 2 days off – Good Friday and Easter Monday so a lot of people are looking forward to that break. Traditionally Easter Monday is the day when a lot of Bahamians go to …
Catch up from Governors Harbour this week with news of the HACE fundraiser and other assorted bits and pieces…. So the HACE fundraiser was scheduled for a Monday night at La Bougainvillea – but unfortunately the weather was not kind – it was extremely windy and cool with a little rain in the air – so it was rescheduled for …
This week we have a blog written by the indomitable Dr Claire Verden who as you know tirelessly organizes the summer camp here in Governors Harbour every year – please support her and her team as you have been doing – the children here have a wonderful time while they are at the camp – and as you know many …
And so dear readers this week I am telling you about a fundraiser on Monday 20th March in aid of HACE – which as you should know is the Health Association for Central Eleuthera. This is the organization that runs the free ambulance service here on the island so it is very important to support and help maintain this vital …

This week we have had the contrast of a real Bahamian funeral and family here in Eleuthera. As I told you all last week our family arrived on Thursday and so there has been lots of hugging and cuddling with out great granddaughter Cece. They are staying in Peach House apartments next to where we used to live at Buena …
News this week that Bacchus Fine Foods pizza night started on Wednesday evening and also news that there will be a coffee morning at Haynes Library on the third Tuesday of every month. Donna Allen , a winter resident here , is organizing it, so for all the many people who have missed it over the last few years – …
This week we are paying tribute to Mr Joshua Culmer MBE who has died. He was 84 years old and lived a good life fulfilling his life’s purpose of doing the best he could to help his community. He was a Justice of the Peace , a Notary Public and of course a marriage officer of which we had personal …
Well you may not be surprised to hear that this week’s blog has a definite food slant ! It all started with a lovely evening here in Eleuthera spent with friends and our host Maithili – who cooked a delicious Sri Lankan chicken curry. The company was fun and the food was great – plus I got to take some …
This last week or so I have been doing some sorting out – you would have thought with moving house that it had all been done – but thinning out what we have and getting rid of things that we no longer need or want is a very cleansing experience. As we have family coming soon I decided to put …
As we come in to February there is nothing much to report here in Eleuthera so you will be getting the minutiae of our life on a weekly basis – so be prepared to yawn and realize how exciting your own lives are in comparison….. Biggest news of the week is that I ate the very first waffle of my …
And yes – we went back to the US for a quick trip last week. Just 3 nights – flying in on Wednesday and flying out on Saturday. Never quite enough time to do what we want to but the days of cramming in way too much are over thank goodness. One of the reasons for going was that I …
