Face lift at the Exceptional Learners Center

This week we have been working hard to give a face lift to the Center for Exceptional Learners here in Governors Harbour. Thanks to a very generous donation from Mr Simon Hitchins – based in Monaco – but a regular visitor to Eleuthera – the school is getting a revamp of the exterior. Simon’s vision was to make the school […]

Well – it is my favorite time of year – my sister Jane is here in Eleuthera for a month – yippee ! She has come out every year since we moved here twelve years ago – on her own this year …. Sam, my nephew, did come out last year but at 24 he has a busy life and […]

Doral , tiles and dinner parties !

This week I had to take a quick trip to Florida to choose tile for a couple of our projects and check out some kitchen details as well …… This visit I decided to stay at the Sonesta Hotel again – right at the end of Sunrise Blvd in Fort Lauderdale. It is a while since I stayed here and […]

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 […]

So we just went away for a long weekend – leaving Eleuthera behind us…… it was a trip to Fort Lauderdale and Miami and was primarily to stock up on a lot of tools and such like – lovely trips to Lowes, Home Depot and Harbor Freight Tools – but it was a fun trip ! I don’t know why […]

Eleutheramania International 3 on 3 Basketball Tournament

This week saw the very first Eleutheramania International 3 on 3 International basketball Tournament right here in Governors Harbour.

Joel lives in London and is involved in basketball as some of his […]

Fun in the sun – the Special Olympics Bocce Tournament

This past weekend we had plenty of fun in the sun with the Special Olympics Bocce Tournament in Tarpum Bay Eleuthera. Teams came from Abaco, New Providence, Grand Bahama and of course Eleuthera. They arrived on Friday and got settled in to their accommodation before playing their first few matches on Friday afternoon. Later on Friday afternoon they were driven […]
