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 […]
This week I am delighted with a shipment of new artwork that has arrived for us here at Governors Estate. Bob’s son Cassius Colman and his partner Jessie Dyer have a great art gallery in London called Nelly Duff and when we saw a range of limited edition prints that they were selling by UK artist Nick Smith we were […]
This week I thought it would be fun to tell you about the blogs I like to read here in Governors Harbour. One of my favorite blogs is written by our friend India Hicks who lives here on Harbour Island . She is a really funny natural writer who manages to make you laugh out loud in recognition of the […]
Well – what a week it has been in Governors Harbour ! At the end of last week’s blog I was saying that we were watching, waiting and preparing for the imminent visit of Hurricane Joaquin. We went to bed on Wednesdy evening with Tropical Storm Joaquin heading our way – but when we woke up on Thursday morning he […]
This week in Governors Harbour – what’s been happening apart from Bob’s birthday ? So Tuesday 29th September was Bob’s birthday and he had a mostly relaxing day…… Breakfast in bed, lots of birthday cards to open, including one from Sami his daughter – except when he opened it – it was a Father’s Day card – posted in London […]
Back to the series the Best of Eleuthera – this week featuring Dr Cliff Bacchus. Now retired from Government service but with a thriving private medical practice right here in Governors Harbour. Dr Bacchus had always wanted to one day open his own private practice and after he retired in 2002 that is exactly what he did. Always having had […]
So every now and then we find ourselves taking a break off the rock of Eleuthera to visit Florida – Fort Lauderdale and Miami. This year we are not taking a vacation to Europe as we have done over the last few years – family are visiting us from London instead, so we just took a short 5 day break […]
This week I have been styling a couple of houses in Governors Harbour for photographs – here is how I do it…. The photographs are to be used for vacation rentals and I have 2 clients that I have set up the houses for. I have worked with this particular photographer a good few times so it is now quite […]
