Hello, I'm Kathy Colman and I write about Eleuthera and other things.
Out of season – as we are in Eleuthera right now – is a time to enjoy the quiet of the island. Most restaurants are either closed or closing this week – there are still some visitors but nothing like the usual amount we see throughout the rest of the year. Instead we are cooking delicious fresh caught fish and […]
More this week about our travels – with Kathy and Bob back in London after visiting Roussillon and Marseille in France. For a lot of people who come to stay at Governors Estate in Eleuthera their vacation is about sun sea and sand – often there are family reunions and meeting up with friends. For us taking a vacation usually […]
So this week the blog – instead of being about Eleuthera – is about travels with Kathy and Bob – in France and London. Living in a place like Eleuthera means that our trips have a different slant to many people’s idea of a vacation. We usually fly to London first – as we did this time – and spend […]
Next in the series of Best of Eleuthera we take a look at a new venture – Eleuthera Community Farms. Nearly everybody who either lives here or spends any time here is always looking to be able to find fresh fruit and vegetables – ideally locally grown. Awareness of the vital importance of fresh produce for a healthy lifestyle is […]
So next in my series Best of Eleuthera here is a look at Haynes Library in Governors Harbour. The distinctive old pink building right on the harbour is a real local landmark. It is a focal point for much of what is going on in central Eleuthera. The government owned building was slated for demolition in the early 90’s – […]
Ever since I was small my favorite pastime has been reading – I have a real passion for it. Here in Eleuthera both Bob and I – also an avid reader – often spend the evening reading – so it is always a delight for me when a shipment comes in and has a few new volumes to sit on […]
How to go from liking a color to obsession with it is just a few easy steps I have discovered ! Living here in Eleuthera I love to have bright colors around me and orange is one of my favorite colors – or so I thought . I decided it would make a fun little post to talk about orange […]
In the Best of Eleuthera series here is a fascinating dip into the oral history of the island with Joy Pyfrom – a resident here in Eleuthera since 1946. Joy came to the Bahamas as a young woman in 1946 immediately after the Second World War and married local man Loraine Pyfrom a few years later. She is a wonderful […]
Gratitude and appreciating what is good every day of your life is one of the things I always associate with my late father – also called Bob ! He made me understand that being happy is not found in reaching some mythical state – when you have this much money in the bank or that new car or when you […]
Every now and again – not too often – I have to take a day out to Nassau – business to take care of – mothers to be sorted out – sisters to collect ! So last week with my 87 year old Mum in tow we took the Pineapple Air flight first thing in the morning off to Nassau. […]
Yesterday I saw this amazingly colored bat moth caterpillar right here in Eleuthera – it was at least 3 inches long … Orange and lime green – two of my favorite tropical colors ! It was not alone either. These fabulously colored caterpillars turn into bat moths – or money bats as they are sometimes called. Amazing that something […]
So any of you who have ever rented our homes here at Governors Estate will have met Joe Louis – our communal dog ! Well he belongs to us really but makes friends with everyone and thinks that his role in life is to take the temporary place of anybody’s long missed pet. He is a potcake – the Bahamian name […]
