Pineapples, pizza and pouring rain – this last week we have had all three here in Eleuthera.

News this week that Bacchus Fine Foods pizza night started on Wednesday evening and also news that there will be a coffee morning at Haynes Library on the third Tuesday of every month.

This week’s blog finds us in that sweet spot between Christmas and New Year – that no mans land that I enjoy a great deal…..

And just like that – here we are – it’s 2022. We hope that you had an enjoyable break over the holidays – we certainly did.

Yes – news at the end of last week that the government has called an election early – it will be on September 16th.

I have already told you that the theme was around the world in 30 days – well the last week after having been all around the world they made rockets to go off in to outer space ! They were made with Alka …
It really is a sizzling summer here in Eleuthera – and we had a spectacular thunderstorm and plenty of rain to prove it.

This week there is a …
