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 […]

New artwork in Governors Estate Eleuthera

This week I am delighted with a shipment of new artwork that has arrived for us here at Governors Estate. Bob’s son Cassius Colman and his partner Jessie Dyer have a great art gallery in London called Nelly Duff and when we saw a range of limited edition prints that they were selling by UK artist Nick Smith we were […]

The blogs I read here in Governors Harbour

This week I thought it would be fun to tell you about the blogs I like to read here in Governors Harbour.

The building is there thanks to the wonderful Mr Austin T Levy and his wife June. I […]

The Market Supermarket Rock Sound – Best of Eleuthera

In the Best of Eleuthera series I now take a good look at the Market Supermarket in Rock Sound. This is one of the largest food markets on the island – maybe only the North Eleuthera Food Store is comparable in size. There is a great selection of fresh fruit and vegetables thanks now to a bigger and better chiller […]

Norma’s Gift Shop Governors Harbour – Best of Eleuthera

This started out as the next in the series of Best of Eleuthera – Norma’s Gift Shop in Governors Harbour – but actually turned into the fascinating story of it’s owner Norma Griffin Johnson. The gift shop is situated right in the center of Governors Harbour on the corner opposite Da Perk cafe – facing Queens Highway and right on […]

Governors Estate Eleuthera Art Appreciation Society !

Now a tongue in cheek look at the Governors Estate, Eleuthera Art Appreciation society – 2 members so far – Bob and myself – plus hopefully some of our renters. Sometimes trying think of what to blog about can be frustrating – mostly it is about the island of Eleuthera and what goes on here or about our travels. But […]

This is how I relax here in Governors Harbour

I was recently reading in a magazine how different people relax so I decided that a blog on how I relax here in Governors Harbour would be fun….. Becoming aware of the things that we do to recharge our batteries is a very important step to making sure that we do them on a regular basis. Life is busy and […]
