Great news this week from Da Perk – right here in Governors Harbour ! This is under new management now – Horatio Smith – who I have mentioned on the blog here before – newly moved here from Nassau has taken over and we can expect great things I know….. He has assembled a new team and they look good […]

This week I bring you up to date about Bob’s eye and give you a tale of 2 suppers ! Thank you so much for all the enquiries about how Bob is doing after his eye surgery. Slow but sure progress is the answer – the other morning he told me that he could see the numbers on his phone […]
So Bob had his surgery – eye opening surgery or eyes wide shut ? Well a bit of both really. Dr Spratt – the lovely eye specialist – did do a great job and we were very fortunate in being able to talk with our good friend Tony Poletti who had the same procedure a few weeks ago with the […]
So many of you readers will know that I have been in England for the funeral of my young nephew – Craig Billingham. It was a sad affair of course – but very touching to see and hear what a well loved person he was. The cycling club he belonged to walked in front of the hearse as a guard […]
This past couple of weeks has been an exercise in finding the joy in everyday life as well as feeling the sorrow. My nephew – Craig – my elder sister Anne’s son – died very suddenly from cardiac arrest at the age of 47. It shocking and brutal – devastating for my sister and his wife and young family. But […]
Keeping fit and healthy in Eleuthera is not as easy as it is in many places. There are no gyms to speak of here so it takes a bit of detective work to find good ways of staying fit. Bob has found a great personal trainer that he works out with twice a week. Remorn comes to our house and […]
Fort Lauderdale and all that got off to a pretty dodgy start with our flight out of Governors Harbour. I don’t like to write anything that is very negative but I’m afraid that the situation was handled so badly I do want to make people aware of how difficult flights can be here. We were booked on Silver Airways to […]
This last weekend I spent a great day at the Special Olympics Bocce Tournament in Tarpum Bay. We woke up to torrential rain and high winds – doomed I thought ! – but then the gods smiled on us and everywhere dried up the sun shone and all was well with the world. The competitors all stayed down at The […]
So we enjoyed the 4 day break that Easter brought along with other treats here in Governors Harbour and of course Bocce coming up this weekend. On Good Friday Bob and I treated ourselves to a lovely lunch at La Bougainvillea. We shared a chicken satay followed by a huge sushi roll which was absolutely delicious. La Bougainvillea is going […]
Monday 15th April – the day after the Jazz Festival finished – was a joyous night raising funds for HACE in Eleuthera. It was held at La Bougainvillea and they were fabulous hosts. Plenty of people came and ate as well as those who just came to enjoy the music. Quite a few of the musicians had stayed on and […]
