Hello, I'm Kathy Colman and I write about Eleuthera and other things.
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 […]

He is trained as a special educational needs teacher […]
In the Best of Eleuthera series I want to take a look at the Cancer Society Wellness Centre in Palmetto Point. The philosophy of the Centre is very much based on the concept of support for people both suffering from cancer and those who have survived it , a huge focus on early detection through screening and cancer prevention – through […]
Next in my Best of Eleuthera series I take a good look at the Island Made Gift Shop in Gregory Town. Pam Thompson – the owner – has a real treasure trove here – there is something for everyone to love – I defy you to come out of this shop without at least one thing – even if it […]
Now in the Best of Eleuthera series I want to tell you about the adventures of the Antiki raft. Those of you who have visited Governors Harbour will probably have seen the raft moored up here in the harbour – but you may not be aware of the story of how it came to be here. In 2011, led by […]
So here I am , happy to be back home in Eleuthera after my travels in the UK. I have always needed to take a little time away on my own to recharge my batteries and nurture my spirit so I try, once a year, to take a trip to the UK to catch up with my girlfriends, sisters and […]
So here I am back in the UK on my travels spending a fabulous day at the Raymond Blanc Cookery School.

I was shown around the kitchens after […]
