Feeling gratitude for what we have and what we can do…..

Filling our time on lockdown in Eleuthera

So if you have been wondering how we are filling our time while on lockdown in Eleuthera here is all the latest news !!!!

Lockdown in Lutra !

Well I must say I didn’t really see the lockdown in Lutra coming ! So we started off with the 9pm – 5am curfew – some businesses closed – but construction was exempt so we kept the big site we were working on open. The office was closed but the workers were on site as I said. But come Monday […]

It has to be talked about – coronavirus and Eleuthera !
