Hello, I'm Kathy Colman and I write about Eleuthera and other things.
Latest in my Best of Eleuthera series I am delighted to write about the Glass Window Bar and Grill. This week Jane and I decided to have a day down north here in Eleuthera. I wanted to visit North Eleuthera Shopping Center to stock up on bulk buys of cleaning items etc – really exciting stuff – toilet rolls, kitchen […]
This week we have been working hard to give a face lift to the Center for Exceptional Learners here in Governors Harbour. Thanks to a very generous donation from Mr Simon Hitchins – based in Monaco – but a regular visitor to Eleuthera – the school is getting a revamp of the exterior. Simon’s vision was to make the school […]
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 […]
So we had a wonderful time – all the way from Governors Harbour to New York City… Actually it is a pretty easy trip – we flew JetBlue from Nassau direct in to JFK. The flight is only about 2hrs 20minutes and then a taxi ride into SoHo. We were in the Crosby Street Hotel by 2.15pm. And what a […]
Feeling very excited this week as we are getting ready for an adventure in New York ! We have a few chores to do in Nassau first but then we are off to Manhattan for an exciting week …… We are staying at the Crosby St Hotel in SoHo – this is a hotel designed, furnished and owned by a […]
So we just went away for a long weekend – leaving Eleuthera behind us…… it was a trip to Fort Lauderdale and Miami and was primarily to stock up on a lot of tools and such like – lovely trips to Lowes, Home Depot and Harbor Freight Tools – but it was a fun trip ! I don’t know why […]
At the moment we are working very hard here in Governors Harbour. The restoration of Cornerwall House and Flora’s Cottage is going great guns. The site of the former Duck Inn is a hive of activity. The cedar shingles are just going on to the roof at Flora’s Cottage. The swimming pool at the back of the house is looking […]
This week saw the very first Eleutheramania International 3 on 3 International basketball Tournament right here in Governors Harbour. This was the idea of Bob’s elder son Joel Colman who organized it in conjunction with Demetrius Johnson – the same Demetrius who is involved with Junior Junkanoo. Joel lives in London and is involved in basketball as some of his […]
Being a judge for any competition in Eleuthera is a responsibility – competitors always hope to win and it is hard to dash their hopes. Last week I was one of the judges in the Emma Cooper Primary School inter house reading competition. Such a delight – as many of you know – reading is one of my favorite pastimes […]
