This week a quiet blog celebrating the gentle rhythm of life here in Governors Harbour….. It is very busy now with visitors – absolute peak season as it is spring break in the US – so many families come here to be together. French Leave beach has plenty of people on it all day – so the dogs have to […]

Well dear readers take a look at the Island Farm now ….. I first wrote about it in July 2014 – nearly 10 years ago which has gone by so quickly ….. The expansion of the farm and all the produce and food that they sell is wonderful. Tuesdays and Fridays – the baking days – continue to be extremely […]
Yes dear readers – late night shopping in downtown Governors Harbour ! As of this week Burrows grocery store is open from 7am till 10pm every day – including Sunday apart from Tuesday when it is open from 10am till 10pm. This is a godsend for any visitors arriving either late in the evening or on a Sunday – there […]
A few things this week, a bush fire right along French Leave Beach, a favor to ask you and High Stack is for sale now. High Stack is the house that my Mum , Mary, lived in. After her death last July we had a huge job of clearing it out first of all. Then we assessed it and realized […]
A nice week meeting a reader of the blog, visiting a great farm and sharing a lovely dinner. The weather has been pretty vile of most of this week – very high winds and a lot of rain so we have felt bad for 2 lovely women that we met on Sunday. Daphne from Montreal and her friend Lily from […]
Well have you tried The Helm yet in Governors Harbor ? They opened on New Year’s Eve but we didn’t try it until last Friday. We had our friends Justin and Lindy from Texas here for 3 nights and on the first night we had vegetarian shepherds pie here at Sprawling Towers and then went out to have a drink […]
So last Sunday Bob and I discovered Delish in James Cistern – a bit late to the party as they have been open for 3 years ! We have meant to try it but you know how the best of intentions can fall by the wayside ….. Last Sunday was very cool – for Eleuthera – and very breezy and […]
Pineapples, pizza and pouring rain – this last week we have had all three here in Eleuthera. The pineapple season is in full swing here in the Bahamas and some of the very best ones come from Gregory Town. We were gifted another 3 beauties from Philip Farm up in Gregory Town and whilst we are enjoying them I decided […]
Such sad news this week as I tell you that dear Roger Ryall from Canada has died in a plane crash. Roger was the lovely man who bought Tops House from us in January 2021 and we got to know him reasonably well. Such a kind and thoughtful person who loved his new skill of flying. He had his own […]

Plenty of storms and torrential rain as well as slow steady rain as well. Much needed and long awaited …. You can hear […]
