Now it is nearing the end of the season here in Governors Harbour, this week I am giving a quick roundup of what’s happening. Well the weather is still very hot and we are all hoping that a lot of rain may come our way but we will see. There are still visitors here on the island – but it […]

Our new potcake love story in Eleuthera

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 […]

Best of Eleuthera Glass Window Bar and Grill

Latest in my Best of Eleuthera series I am delighted to write about the Glass Window Bar and Grill. This week Jane and I decided to have a day down north here in Eleuthera. I wanted to visit North Eleuthera Shopping Center to stock up on bulk buys of cleaning items etc – really exciting stuff – toilet rolls, kitchen […]

Face lift at the Exceptional Learners Center

Simon’s vision was to make the school […]

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
