Hello, I'm Kathy Colman and I write about Eleuthera and other things.
In the series Best of Eleuthera I want to share with you my top tips for the Banks Road deli….. One of the places that I always recommend to our renters at Governors Estate is the Banks Road Deli – about a mile and a half out of Governors Harbour – heading south – you will find the deli just […]
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 […]
The Harbour Boutique – right here in Governors Harbour is the latest place to feature in my Best of Eleuthera series. It is on Cupid’s Cay – sitting right in between Paul Simmons Customs Brokers and Judy Simmons Waterfront Cafe in the block overlooking the harbor. The Waterfront Cafe is the perfect spot to sit and enjoy a delicious ice-cream […]
One of the great pleasures in life is spending an evening eating and drinking with friends – especially when it is spent with Dan and Larry on Cupid’s Cay in Eleuthera. They are among the finest hosts I know and a good time is always guaranteed when you are in their company. They have a charming cottage on the Cay […]
So this week’s blog is in the form of a diary about a trip we just took to Florida – well Fort Lauderdale and Miami…. We flew from Governors Harbour with Silver Airways to Fort Lauderdale – and this time it worked a treat. The flight was on time and we got through passport control swiftly and efficiently. Picking up […]
Cerasee – the gift store and boutique in Gregory Town definitely deserves featuring in my Best of Eleuthera series. This charming little store tucked away in Biscuit Street – how’s that for an address – is an absolute treasure trove. If you are heading north – just look out for the sign immediately after the Island Made Gift Shop – […]
Next in the Best of Eleuthera we take a look at Pops Body Shop in Tarpum Bay. Unfortunately I have had several experiences of using Pop’s place because I have once too frequently reversed a car into something – a metal bollard at Eleuthera Supply, random walls and even another car ! Anyway this time I turned into our own […]
This week I took a trip up to the North Eleuthera Shopping Centre or Burchie’s as it is more commonly known. Burchie’s is the closest Eleuthera has to a department store ! It sells groceries, fruit and vegetables, hardware, home goods, appliances, clothing and most other things you can think of. Fresh deliveries come in on a Friday or Saturday […]
Now I want to let everybody know about a great new shipping service for Eleuthera – The Pineapple Express. Most of have an emergency – of kinds ! – every now and again. Well last weekend Bob’s laptop suffered a very big hissy fit and the track pad on his MacBookAir just would not respond no matter what. Fortunately for […]
Lakia’s Variety Store in Palmetto Point -another hidden treasure I want you all to know about in my Best of Eleuthera series…… Run by Lorraine Thompson and open since 23rd March 2006 it is named after one of her 4 daughters. Don’t you think it’s great the way Lorraine wrote the date in the cement of the step at the […]
Next in the Best of Eleuthera series I share a great secret with you – the hidden treasures found at the Highway Service Station here in Governors Harbour. Situated on Queens Highway heading south out of Governors Harbour on the left hand side is the Esso gas station owned by the Griffin family. The gas station has been on this […]
