Hello dear readers – this week a birthday and a minor brush with Storm Erin. On Sunday it was my birthday and my gift to myself was a day taking it really easy and relaxing followed by an early dinner at Tippy’s with great friends Dan and Larry , Amanda and her youngest daughter Lauren.

This week a few bits of catching up here in Eleuthera. The demolition of Da Perk and the HG Christie office happened over a couple of days and thanks to good friend Dan for these pictures.

This week I feel the gentle rhythm of life here in Eleuthera. Sometimes it is good to acknowledge and enjoy the quiet gentle times – even if the weather is very rough and blustery. The tides are high in the afternoon when we walk the dogs on French Leave Beach and the seas are very rough and choppy. No taking […]
Yes dear readers – it is quieter and quieter here in Eleuthera. The only places open for eating out in Governors Harbour are 1648 – French Leave Resort , and Sunset Inn.

Hello dear readers – news this week that there is an abundance of watermelons here in Eleuthera, and other important information …… Could you tell that my tongue was firmly in my cheek ?
