Hello, I'm Kathy Colman and I write about Eleuthera and other things.
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 […]
This started out as the next in the series of Best of Eleuthera – Norma’s Gift Shop in Governors Harbour – but actually turned into the fascinating story of it’s owner Norma Griffin Johnson. The gift shop is situated right in the center of Governors Harbour on the corner opposite Da Perk cafe – facing Queens Highway and right on […]
Now a tongue in cheek look at the Governors Estate, Eleuthera Art Appreciation society – 2 members so far – Bob and myself – plus hopefully some of our renters. Sometimes trying think of what to blog about can be frustrating – mostly it is about the island of Eleuthera and what goes on here or about our travels. But […]
I was recently reading in a magazine how different people relax so I decided that a blog on how I relax here in Governors Harbour would be fun….. Becoming aware of the things that we do to recharge our batteries is a very important step to making sure that we do them on a regular basis. Life is busy and […]
So after last week’s warm up here is the news on travels to Toronto with Kathy and Bob ! What a great city – friendly, clean, safe and very visitor friendly. We flew with WestJet from Nassau – just under 3 hours – an airline I vowed I would fly with after seeing their Christmas promotion a couple of years […]
So the latest travels with Kathy and Bob began with a night in Nassau. When we travel I absolutely hate to start with early morning flights – so now as a gift of kindness to ourselves we will take a sensibly timed flight and stay the night near the airport….. Flying to Toronto at 2pm would have meant taking the […]
Finding the Best of Eleuthera – take in Da Perk Coffee Shop right here in Governors Harbour. If you are looking for a great cup of coffee – Lavazza ! , breakfast, brunch or lunch then this is a must. Situated on the corner right here in the Harbour Da Perk is the ideal spot to sit and watch the […]
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 […]
