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

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 […]
So here is the story of the renovation of the Peach House here on Governors Estate, Governors Harbour Eleuthera. Now it is an attractive – if I say so myself !! – building with two one bedroom apartments but back in 2004 when we first moved here it was a sad and dilapidated converted water cistern with 2 studios […]
People often ask me about shipping goods to Governors Harbour – this is how we do it in Eleuthera ! With the rental homes we have at Governors Estate I often have to bring items in so the first step is usually for me buying the goods on-line. Next they are delivered to our fantastic freight forwarder Tony Poletti at […]

So in the Best of Eleuthera series here is a guide to finding the best in food shopping around the Governors Harbour area – my own top tips !
