Furnishing the houses at the Old Duck Inn Eleuthera.

I am now in the thick of furnishing the houses we have renovated and built at the Old Duck Inn site right here in Eleuthera. Usually I buy pretty much everything from the US and ship it over but this time I decided to have all the bed frames and nightstands made here on the island by one of our […]

Latest progress at the Duck Inn site in Governors Harbour

Five days in the Land of Plenty !

Bob and I have just spent five days in the Land of Plenty – aka the US – more specifically the Fort Lauderdale area. Although we really love our life in Eleuthera, sometimes it is good to get away for a short break….. We combine slaking island fever with shopping and researching for the various projects we have on at […]

Raclette party, flea market and a random act of kindness !

This week as the title says there is news of a great raclette party, the flea market and a lovely random act of kindness…….. Do you know what a raclette party is ? – neither did I until we went to one ! Raclette is a semi-hard cow’s milk cheese – and it is simply delicious when melted on a […]

This week is a compendium of family visits, a trip to the Surf Shack and All That Jazz – phew – quite a week…… I had heard that Chef Bill Stack and his wife Jennifer had opened a small cafe in Gregory Town and I found the perfect excuse to visit there last Saturday on the way back from a […]
