Hello, I'm Kathy Colman and I write about Eleuthera and other things.
Yes – here we are slipping rapidly through September – and the day after this is published we will be on a plane to London looking forward to catching up with friends and family. We are going to stay at the Ham Yard Hotel in Soho – another of the Firmdale Group of hotels owned and run by Kit Kemp […]
Sad news that the Queen of England – Elizabeth 2nd – died last week. Although she was 96 years old many people just expected her to live forever. Or at least until she was a hundred years old and beyond as her own mother had. But she died quietly and quickly in Balmoral Castle – one of her very favorite […]
Hello to you all dear readers – I hope that all is well with you. Here we are in September and the island is getting quieter and quieter. So not much happening here at all apart from our own building project which is moving on apace …. Last week as I think I told you Bob and I had a […]
This week I am looking back over what I wrote about in some of the years gone by of blog writing. At this time of year it is hard to find much to write about as everything has wound down so a little nostalgia doesn’t go amiss – does it ? First one I looked at was in August 2016 […]
Yes – the season is now winding down in Eleuthera and I have news for you on which restaurants are closing when…. Firstly the Island Farm – they are closing on Saturday September 3rd – and although they do not have a definite date for re-opening I was told that it will be probably late October . We will miss […]
So last week we completed on the sale of our lovely home heralding the end of the Buena Vista Years. We bought the house in July 2004 and have had a very happy time there. I have written before about how I feel that the spirit of the house has a female essence for me. I am not saying that […]
Hello dear readers – and here is all the latest news from Eleuthera this week. I know I have been banging on about our fire truck for the last few weeks – but this is a very big deal. If you own a home here in the Governors Harbour area or indeed if you rent property here then you need […]
So this week we have a report from Dr Claire Verden about the Educators for Eleuthera Summer Camp and also news of introducing Big Dog Leon – the GHFR fire truck to the community on Friday at Fish Fry. Firstly let me hand the blog over to Claire ….. “It is hard to believe that August is upon us, and […]
When your bank is in Harbour Island, Eleuthera it is not the most convenient thing. It means that there are times when internet banking just will not help. Such as when you have to collect replacement credit cards – it means a visit to the branch to pick them up. RBC has closed it’s branches in Governors Harbour and Spanish […]
This week is a week to be thankful for all the good things around us here in Eleuthera. Big Dog as he was known in the US – the fire truck – is here actually in Eleuthera now – the shipping went seamlessly and we are all so very happy to see it here. It is going to be called […]
This week I am bringing you a lovely update on the GHFR Fire Truck as well as other stories … Two of the members of the Governors Harbour Fire and Rescue Department took a trip over to the US to be trained on the actual fire engine that has been purchased for Governors Harbour. They were coached by the fire […]
So this week we all want to wish dear Michele Johnson the happiest of happy birthdays. Many of you will know Michele from The Buccaneer , The Haynes Library and many of her other numerous involvements. She is a very special woman who has been immersed in this community in central Eleuthera ever since she first came here many years […]
