Life beyond my comfort zone in Governors Harbour

This week found me living life beyond my comfort zone as it is in Governors Harbour. Even though I said I wouldn’t bore you with the details of my trip to the dentist – I thought I was up for a scale and polish and discussion of a little vanity work – hah ! – the result was that I […]

Eleuthera Island Farm – Best of Eleuthera

Back to the Best of Eleuthera series and one of the very best ! – Eleuthera Island Farm. Many of you will be familiar with the farm – just south of Palmetto Point crossroads on Queens Highway. It supplies us with fabulous fresh seasonal produce, all sorts of bottled sauces and marinades and BREAD. Proper bread – not squishy and […]

Best of Eleuthera – Ocean Fox Diving

Back to the Best of Eleuthera series – it’s been a while – and a look at Ocean Fox . Plenty of people who come to Eleuthera want to experience the beauty of the underwater world – and Ocean Fox is a very popular choice amongst our own renters at Governors Estate for doing just that……. They offer a great […]

Junkanoo Festival in Governors Harbour

So Saturday January 9th ’16 saw the annual Junkanoo Festival here in Governors Harbour. It was a spectacular sight and went on for several hours along a stretch of the Queens Highway outside the Royal Bank of Canada. Junkanoo, for those of you not familiar with it, is a type of Carnival parade with fantastic costumes mainly made from cardboard […]

Cold front and warm tummy in Governors Harbour

At the time of writing this we are experiencing a cold front here in Governors Harbour. Strong winds and heavy rain – the sort of rain that comes in horizontally and will find any gap it can to seep through and flood into your house in unexpected places ! Temperatures are much lower than normal and the wind whips […]

A visit to Art Basel Miami for the Colmans

So we decided that a visit to the famous Art Basel in Miami was on the cards for the Colmans especially as Bob’s son Cassius and his gorgeous partner Jessie were there researching new artists for their London Gallery – Nelly Duff. The show is enormous with numerous venues in South Beach as well as spreading over into the design […]

Marvelous Millie Johnson – the mistress of the bed chamber Eleuthera

I have been wanting to write on blog for ages about marvelous Millie Johnson – the mistress of the bedchamber here at Governors Estate Eleuthera. One of the great things about writing a blog is the time you get to spend chatting with people – all in the name of research of course ! I learned at a very young […]

This was Halloween in Governors Harbour

Halloween always surprises Bob and I – in the UK it is not really celebrated in the same way as Halloween in Governors Harbour is ! This year we were pretty well prepared. During a recent trip to Florida we stocked up on hideous tooth rotting candy, our animated dog skeleton as well as various decorations to festoon the front […]

Memories of the Potlatch Club in Eleuthera

I recently went to chat with Governors Harbour resident Bill Burrows to hear his memories of the Potlatch Club in Eleuthera. Bill was born and bred in Governors Harbour and he worked at the Potlatch Club from 1961 until 1971….. Potlatch for those of you who don’t know was on the Banks Road – just before Tippy’s restaurant and Pineapple […]
