Sometimes it’s the little things in life !

Don’t you find that sometimes it’s the little things in life that bring a disproportionate amount of delight ? That happened to me this week …… I had to take another trip to Fort Lauderdale to buy a lot of stuff for the projects we are working on – I knew it would be a pretty hard slog so I […]

Fresh conch salad in Governors Harbour

The healthiest native Bahamian dish to eat – in my opinion – is fresh conch salad – and you can get it right here in Governors Harbour. J J Hepburn – a Governors Harbour man born and bred – has a stand on the harbour ramp outside our office on weekdays and a stand at Fish Fry on a Friday […]
