Sauntering through September in Eleuthera….

Here we are then – sauntering through September – the middle of the month already !! Last week I was told about a great new centre opening in Palmetto Point – so I went along and had a chat with Betera Taylor who along with her husband Owen Taylor is behind the new venture. It is called The Myriad and […]

Big thank you to the Leon Levy Preserve and Shelby White

This week I want to say a big – very big – thank you to the Leon Levy Preserve and Ms Shelby White for a very generous donation to Project Text – run through Haynes Library here in Governors Harbour. The donation means that around 110 tablets – with a hotspot – can be provided to children whose families do […]

Living in the moment in Eleuthera

This week I am very conscious of living in the moment right here in Eleuthera. Being totally aware of what you are doing and where you are is a practice that I think is very important at this particular time. It is so easy to race through our days worrying about what may or may not happen in the future […]

Opening up again in Eleuthera

So here we are opening up again in Eleuthera after a 3 week lockdown. Absolutely no inter island travel – although charter flights can still bring people in from the US – as long as they have a negative Covid test done within 5 days of arrival – and then they quarantine for 14 days. But it is great news […]

A birthday and a trip to the dentist – but not on the same day !

So this week saw a birthday – mine ( 67 if you were wondering ! )- and a trip to the dentist – but fortunately not on the same day … Monday was my birthday and with everything pretty much – bar construction – on lockdown it was a pretty quiet and laid back day. We had a couple of […]

First Covid case in Eleuthera and childhood holidays

So first news of the week is that there is an official case of Covid here in Eleuthera – we made the Bahamas chart in a way we never wanted to – and then reminiscences from me of childhood holidays ! Not really any major news about the Covid case apart from saying that it has obviously been brought in […]

Hurricane Isaias, lockdown and the grand unveiling !

Plenty to write about this week with news of Hurricane Isaias, more lockdown and the grand unveiling of our screened garden room….. So last Thursday and Friday were spent putting everything away for the impending Hurricane Isaias – which thankfully seemed to dissipate during Friday night and left us just with high winds and plenty of rain. We dodged another […]

No more commercial US flights to the Bahamas for now……

The Prime Minister announced at the weekend that all commercial flights from the US were to be stopped from bringing passengers into the Bahamas. This is because the number of cases has risen again in New Providence, Grand Bahama and Cat Island. We have stayed free from any cases in Eleuthera – but obviously the threat is growing. Fortunately for […]

Getting on with life in Eleuthera

This week’s blog is really just about how we are getting on with life in Eleuthera these days. Last Friday was a public holiday here – Bahamas Independence Day – and as a result of the Prime Minister closing all the beaches in Nassau and Grand Bahama – we were fully booked with visitors for the long weekend. Thankfully people […]
