Taking a break off the rock – to Florida

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 […]

Styling a House for Photographs – how I do it

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 […]

The rhythm of the summer in Eleuthera

Here we are now near the end of August and the rhythm of the summer in Eleuthera is changing pace. The weather is still extremely hot and the ocean is scarily warm – never a good sign in hurricane season. At the time of writing Hurricane Erika is heading our way. We try to balance taking sensible precautions without scaremongering […]

Best of Eleuthera- French Leave Restaurant update…..

So I first wrote about the restaurant 1648 at French Leave in December 2014 – but I decided to do an update as well as re-present the original blog. Since opening last December the restaurant has gone from strength to strength and the great news for those of us who live here year round is that it is not closing […]

Sometimes trying think of what to blog about can be frustrating – mostly it is about the island of Eleuthera and what goes on here or about our travels. But […]

This is how I relax here in Governors Harbour

I was recently reading in a magazine how different people relax so I decided that a blog on how I relax here in Governors Harbour would be fun….. Becoming aware of the things that we do to recharge our batteries is a very important step to making sure that we do them on a regular basis. Life is busy and […]

Travels with Kathy and Bob ……

So the latest travels with Kathy and Bob began with a night in Nassau. When we travel I absolutely hate to start with early morning flights – so now as a gift of kindness to ourselves we will take a sensibly timed flight and stay the night near the airport….. Flying to Toronto at 2pm would have meant taking the […]

In the series Best of Eleuthera I want to share with you my top tips for the Banks Road deli….. One of the places that I always recommend to our renters at Governors Estate is the Banks Road Deli – about a mile and a half out of Governors Harbour – heading south – you will find the deli just […]

Best of Eleuthera – chef in my kitchen – Heaven !

This week’s Best of Eleuthera post highlights a chef in my kitchen – cooking a meal for Bob, myself and friends. I love to entertain but sometimes the pressure of work can make what should be a pleasurable experience into a tiring exercise. So when I heard that talented chef Stephanie Mariscal – formerly Burrows – had moved back to […]
