Hello, I'm Kathy Colman and I write about Eleuthera and other things.
After returning from London at the beginning of last week we found out we had to make a quick zip back into Nassau on Wednesday – and returned to Eleuthera on Thursday. Not ideal given that it would have been good to gently recover from the jet lag – but it was a meeting that Bob had to make – …

Yes great news – so happy to be able to tell you that Sweet and Savory are open again. This is a very popular spot for lunch – and it is just wonderful that they are serving up our favorites as well as some new items. Bob and I shared a hot sandwich on a multigrain roll with turkey, cheese …

So here we are – The Colmans Do London – and a great time we are having ! The trip started extremely well with lunch at Island House Hotel in Nassau in Yellowbell. Absolutely delicious and set the bar high for all to follow ! We relaxed in the room I had booked as the flight to the UK was …
Yes – here we are slipping rapidly through September – and the day after this is published we will be on a plane to London looking forward to catching up with friends and family. We are going to stay at the Ham Yard Hotel in Soho – another of the Firmdale Group of hotels owned and run by Kit Kemp …
Sad news that the Queen of England – Elizabeth 2nd – died last week. Although she was 96 years old many people just expected her to live forever. Or at least until she was a hundred years old and beyond as her own mother had. But she died quietly and quickly in Balmoral Castle – one of her very favorite …
Hello to you all dear readers – I hope that all is well with you. Here we are in September and the island is getting quieter and quieter. So not much happening here at all apart from our own building project which is moving on apace …. Last week as I think I told you Bob and I had a …
This week I am looking back over what I wrote about in some of the years gone by of blog writing. At this time of year it is hard to find much to write about as everything has wound down so a little nostalgia doesn’t go amiss – does it ? First one I looked at was in August 2016 …

Firstly the Island Farm – they are closing on Saturday September 3rd – and although they do not have a definite date for re-opening I was told that it will be probably late October . We will miss …
So last week we completed on the sale of our lovely home heralding the end of the Buena Vista Years. We bought the house in July 2004 and have had a very happy time there. I have written before about how I feel that the spirit of the house has a female essence for me. I am not saying that …
Hello dear readers – and here is all the latest news from Eleuthera this week. I know I have been banging on about our fire truck for the last few weeks – but this is a very big deal. If you own a home here in the Governors Harbour area or indeed if you rent property here then you need …
So this week we have a report from Dr Claire Verden about the Educators for Eleuthera Summer Camp and also news of introducing Big Dog Leon – the GHFR fire truck to the community on Friday at Fish Fry. Firstly let me hand the blog over to Claire ….. “It is hard to believe that August is upon us, and …

When your bank is in Harbour Island, Eleuthera it is not the most convenient thing. It means that there are times when internet banking just will not help. Such as when you have to collect replacement credit cards – it means a visit to the branch to pick them up. RBC has closed it’s branches in Governors Harbour and Spanish …
