Hello, I'm Kathy Colman and I write about Eleuthera and other things.
This week I am delighted with a shipment of new artwork that has arrived for us here at Governors Estate. Bob’s son Cassius Colman and his partner Jessie Dyer have a great art gallery in London called Nelly Duff and when we saw a range of limited edition prints that they were selling by UK artist Nick Smith we were […]
This week I thought it would be fun to tell you about the blogs I like to read here in Governors Harbour. One of my favorite blogs is written by our friend India Hicks who lives here on Harbour Island . She is a really funny natural writer who manages to make you laugh out loud in recognition of the […]
Well – what a week it has been in Governors Harbour ! At the end of last week’s blog I was saying that we were watching, waiting and preparing for the imminent visit of Hurricane Joaquin. We went to bed on Wednesdy evening with Tropical Storm Joaquin heading our way – but when we woke up on Thursday morning he […]
This week in Governors Harbour – what’s been happening apart from Bob’s birthday ? So Tuesday 29th September was Bob’s birthday and he had a mostly relaxing day…… Breakfast in bed, lots of birthday cards to open, including one from Sami his daughter – except when he opened it – it was a Father’s Day card – posted in London […]
Back to the series the Best of Eleuthera – this week featuring Dr Cliff Bacchus. Now retired from Government service but with a thriving private medical practice right here in Governors Harbour. Dr Bacchus had always wanted to one day open his own private practice and after he retired in 2002 that is exactly what he did. Always having had […]
So every now and then we find ourselves taking a break off the rock of Eleuthera to visit Florida – Fort Lauderdale and Miami. This year we are not taking a vacation to Europe as we have done over the last few years – family are visiting us from London instead, so we just took a short 5 day break […]
This week I have been styling a couple of houses in Governors Harbour for photographs – here is how I do it…. The photographs are to be used for vacation rentals and I have 2 clients that I have set up the houses for. I have worked with this particular photographer a good few times so it is now quite […]
In the Best of Eleuthera series I decided to do a piece about the Levy Medical centre right here in Governors Harbour. This is the government health clinic that provides medical care for both people who live here and for visitors as well. The building is there thanks to the wonderful Mr Austin T Levy and his wife June. I […]
Here we are now near the end of August and the rhythm of the summer in Eleuthera is changing pace. The weather is still extremely hot and the ocean is scarily warm – never a good sign in hurricane season. At the time of writing Hurricane Erika is heading our way. We try to balance taking sensible precautions without scaremongering […]
This week we have been celebrating a birthday in Governors Harbour Eleuthera- mine ! I know that plenty of people do not share my enthusiasm for celebrating their own birthdays – but I have always found it a joy and a reason to bring out the bunting. For me and my two sisters birthdays have always been a joyous celebration. […]
In the Best of Eleuthera series I now take a good look at the Market Supermarket in Rock Sound. This is one of the largest food markets on the island – maybe only the North Eleuthera Food Store is comparable in size. There is a great selection of fresh fruit and vegetables thanks now to a bigger and better chiller […]
So I first wrote about the restaurant 1648 at French Leave in December 2014 – but I decided to do an update as well as re-present the original blog. Since opening last December the restaurant has gone from strength to strength and the great news for those of us who live here year round is that it is not closing […]
