My sister is here in Eleuthera – yipppeeee !

Well – it is my favorite time of year – my sister Jane is here in Eleuthera for a month – yippee ! She has come out every year since we moved here twelve years ago – on her own this year …. Sam, my nephew, did come out last year but at 24 he has a busy life and […]

Doral , tiles and dinner parties !

This week I had to take a quick trip to Florida to choose tile for a couple of our projects and check out some kitchen details as well …… This visit I decided to stay at the Sonesta Hotel again – right at the end of Sunrise Blvd in Fort Lauderdale. It is a while since I stayed here and […]

Upgrades at the Yellow House + a christening !

Keeping the houses in tip top shape here at Governors Estate means upgrades every now and then – the Yellow House just underwent one. The downstairs bedroom is often used by the older or less mobile so it made no sense to have a deep tub in the en-suite bathroom. As we had a 2 week break between renters we […]

A week in Governors Harbour Eleuthera

This week in Governors Harbour I was asked to go along to the annual tennis camp that Artie Johnson organises – this is the 17th ! – to give a short talk to the young participants about living a life that is happy and successful ! – no pressure then …… It is good to think about these things from […]

Governors Harbour to New York City !

So we had a wonderful time – all the way from Governors Harbour to New York City… Actually it is a pretty easy trip – we flew JetBlue from Nassau direct in to JFK. The flight is only about 2hrs 20minutes and then a taxi ride into SoHo. We were in the Crosby Street Hotel by 2.15pm. And what a […]

Feeling very excited this week as we are getting ready for an adventure in New York ! We have a few chores to do in Nassau first but then we are off to Manhattan for an exciting week …… We are staying at the Crosby St Hotel in SoHo – this is a hotel designed, furnished and owned by a […]

Away for a long weekend from Eleuthera

So we just went away for a long weekend – leaving Eleuthera behind us…… it was a trip to Fort Lauderdale and Miami and was primarily to stock up on a lot of tools and such like – lovely trips to Lowes, Home Depot and Harbor Freight Tools – but it was a fun trip ! I don’t know why […]

Eleutheramania International 3 on 3 Basketball Tournament

This week saw the very first Eleutheramania International 3 on 3 International basketball Tournament right here in Governors Harbour. This was the idea of Bob’s elder son Joel Colman who organized it in conjunction with Demetrius Johnson – the same Demetrius who is involved with Junior Junkanoo. Joel lives in London and is involved in basketball as some of his […]

On being a competition judge in Eleuthera…..

Being a judge for any competition in Eleuthera is a responsibility – competitors always hope to win and it is hard to dash their hopes. Last week I was one of the judges in the Emma Cooper Primary School inter house reading competition. Such a delight – as many of you know – reading is one of my favorite pastimes […]

A trip to the Exuma Cays – swimming with the pigs !

It is not often enough that Bob and I take a trip around the Bahamas – but this week we did – we took a trip to the Exuma Cays and went swimming with the pigs ! We have heard about it from various sources and so when our good friends Tommy and Natasha Sands from Rock Sound asked us […]
