Marvelous Millie Johnson – the mistress of the bed chamber Eleuthera

I have been wanting to write on blog for ages about marvelous Millie Johnson – the mistress of the bedchamber here at Governors Estate Eleuthera. One of the great things about writing a blog is the time you get to spend chatting with people – all in the name of research of course ! I learned at a very young […]

This was Halloween in Governors Harbour

Halloween always surprises Bob and I – in the UK it is not really celebrated in the same way as Halloween in Governors Harbour is ! This year we were pretty well prepared. During a recent trip to Florida we stocked up on hideous tooth rotting candy, our animated dog skeleton as well as various decorations to festoon the front […]

Memories of the Potlatch Club in Eleuthera

I recently went to chat with Governors Harbour resident Bill Burrows to hear his memories of the Potlatch Club in Eleuthera. Bill was born and bred in Governors Harbour and he worked at the Potlatch Club from 1961 until 1971….. Potlatch for those of you who don’t know was on the Banks Road – just before Tippy’s restaurant and Pineapple […]

Back to the series the Best of Eleuthera – this week featuring Dr Cliff Bacchus. Now retired from Government service but with a thriving private medical practice right here in Governors Harbour. Dr Bacchus had always wanted to one day open his own private practice and after he retired in 2002 that is exactly what he did. Always having had […]

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 […]
