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 […]

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 […]
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 […]
So the latest travels with Kathy and Bob began with a night in Nassau. When we travel I absolutely hate to start with early morning flights – so now as a gift of kindness to ourselves we will take a sensibly timed flight and stay the night near the airport….. Flying to Toronto at 2pm would have meant taking the […]
Every now and again I indulge myself with a blog which is really quite personal and this week’s – Inspirational People is one of those for me. I have a Pinterest board which is called Inspirational People and it is like having a grown up version of a childhood scrapbook. I am sure that most of you are familiar with […]

For a lot of people who come to stay at Governors Estate in Eleuthera their vacation is about sun sea and sand – often there are family reunions and meeting up with friends. For us taking a vacation usually […]
Ever since I was small my favorite pastime has been reading – I have a real passion for it. Here in Eleuthera both Bob and I – also an avid reader – often spend the evening reading – so it is always a delight for me when a shipment comes in and has a few new volumes to sit on […]
How to go from liking a color to obsession with it is just a few easy steps I have discovered ! Living here in Eleuthera I love to have bright colors around me and orange is one of my favorite colors – or so I thought . I decided it would make a fun little post to talk about orange […]
Every now and again – not too often – I have to take a day out to Nassau – business to take care of – mothers to be sorted out – sisters to collect ! So last week with my 87 year old Mum in tow we took the Pineapple Air flight first thing in the morning off to Nassau. […]
