This last week or so I have been doing some sorting out – you would have thought with moving house that it had all been done – but thinning out what we have and getting rid of things that we no longer need or want is a very cleansing experience. As we have family coming soon I decided to put …

Yes dear friends – it is 8 years since I started this blog and I can’t believe that I still find things to ramble on about after all this time – right ? I am putting a link HERE to the very first post that I wrote…. Much has happened in those 8 years and I think that I will …
This week’s blog is really just about how we are getting on with life in Eleuthera these days. Last Friday was a public holiday here – Bahamas Independence Day – and as a result of the Prime Minister closing all the beaches in Nassau and Grand Bahama – we were fully booked with visitors for the long weekend. Thankfully people …
So Saturday saw a good sized group of us meeting up at 7am outside CIBC First Caribbean Bank in Governors Harbour to Walk For the Cure Eleuthera. This walk raises money locally here on the island to help support people with cancer – paying for traveling expenses etc. When someone in your family has cancer it is a super stressful …

It was was extremely well supported – plenty of people – in fact around 280 – attended the Leon Levy Preserve on a beautiful sunny Saturday afternoon to look at and buy some of the varied art work …
So we found our new potcake love story right here in Eleuthera…. Well more accurately in Tarpum Bay …. As I said in last week’s blog we were starting to look for a new puppy. It is six months now since our very special potcake Joe Loius died and although he will be impossible to replace, for both Bob and …
So – Potcakes – a love story right here in Governors Harbour. Many of you will know already that our lovely, lovely potcake Joe Louis died last Saturday. He was suffering very badly so we called the vets at Palmdale Veterinary Clinic to come and put him out of his misery and help him on his way……. In the end …
So any of you who have ever rented our homes here at Governors Estate will have met Joe Louis – our communal dog ! Well he belongs to us really but makes friends with everyone and thinks that his role in life is to take the temporary place of anybody’s long missed pet. He is a potcake – the Bahamian name …
