It was a spectacular sight and went on for several hours along a stretch of the Queens Highway outside the Royal Bank of Canada.

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 […]
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 […]

Potlatch for those of you who don’t know was on the Banks Road – just before Tippy’s restaurant and Pineapple […]
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 […]
This week I thought it would be fun to tell you about the blogs I like to read here in Governors Harbour. One of my favorite blogs is written by our friend India Hicks who lives here on Harbour Island . She is a really funny natural writer who manages to make you laugh out loud in recognition of the […]
