So Saturday January 9th ’16 saw the annual Junkanoo Festival here in Governors Harbour. It was a spectacular sight and went on for several hours along a stretch of the Queens Highway outside the Royal Bank of Canada.

At the time of writing this we are experiencing a cold front here in Governors Harbour. Strong winds and heavy rain – the sort of rain that comes in horizontally and will find any gap it can to seep through and flood into your house in unexpected places ! Temperatures are much lower than normal and the wind whips […]
The week before Christmas in Governors Harbour– how quickly that has come and how much there is to do and enjoy ! Always important to remember in the rush of everything to savour these times…… There are so many people in the world who, for one reason or another are not able to enjoy the season, that it is important […]
Christmas is coming to Governors Harbour – and fast ! Last Thursday we had our regular Christmas pizza Party at Tippy’s with the children and staff from the Exceptional Learners Centre. Sadly the fantastic students from the US University who have been working there had to leave before the party so it was just Mr Bill Holland and Ms Dolly […]
So we decided that a visit to the famous Art Basel in Miami was on the cards for the Colmans especially as Bob’s son Cassius and his gorgeous partner Jessie were there researching new artists for their London Gallery – Nelly Duff. The show is enormous with numerous venues in South Beach as well as spreading over into the design […]

They were such a great example of how you can plan a really great trip…… So 4 of the group had stayed with us […]
I have been wanting to write on blog for ages about marvelous Millie Johnson – the mistress of the bedchamber here at Governors Estate Eleuthera. One of the great things about writing a blog is the time you get to spend chatting with people – all in the name of research of course ! I learned at a very young […]
Halloween always surprises Bob and I – in the UK it is not really celebrated in the same way as Halloween in Governors Harbour is ! This year we were pretty well prepared. During a recent trip to Florida we stocked up on hideous tooth rotting candy, our animated dog skeleton as well as various decorations to festoon the front […]
I recently went to chat with Governors Harbour resident Bill Burrows to hear his memories of the Potlatch Club in Eleuthera. Bill was born and bred in Governors Harbour and he worked at the Potlatch Club from 1961 until 1971….. Potlatch for those of you who don’t know was on the Banks Road – just before Tippy’s restaurant and Pineapple […]
