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

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 ! Firstly right here in Governors Harbour itself we have 2 main food markets – Eleuthera Supply and Burrows. Personally I buy from both places – Eleuthera Supply has a big chiller […]
