Celebrating in style at Governors Estate Eleuthera

This week I am sharing with you a great group of people who really showed how to celebrate in style at Governors Estate Eleuthera. They were here to celebrate the fiftieth birthday of one of them. They were such a great example of how you can plan a really great trip…… So 4 of the group had stayed with us […]

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 […]

The Levy Medical Clinic – Best of Eleuthera

In the Best of Eleuthera series I decided to do a piece about the Levy Medical centre right here in Governors Harbour. This is the government health clinic that provides medical care for both people who live here and for visitors as well. 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 […]
