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