Halloween is a big excuse for a party and Halloween 2016 in Governors Harbour made the most of it. It started on Friday night with what is laughingly called Happy Hour at Bacchus Fine Foods – but of course it lasts way longer than an hour ! We loaned our skeleton pirate out to Angelika – it was good for […]
Rudge has finally landed here in Colman Towers right into his Gucci slippers ! Rudge for anyone who has not been paying attention is our gorgeous new Potcake puppy – just about 8 weeks old now.

Here we are now near the end of August and the rhythm of the summer in Eleuthera is changing pace. The weather is still extremely hot and the ocean is scarily warm – never a good sign in hurricane season. At the time of writing Hurricane Erika is heading our way. We try to balance taking sensible precautions without scaremongering […]
In the series Best of Eleuthera I want to share with you my top tips for the Banks Road deli….. One of the places that I always recommend to our renters at Governors Estate is the Banks Road Deli – about a mile and a half out of Governors Harbour – heading south – you will find the deli just […]
So here we are in 2015 already – time for looking back from Governors Estate Eleuthera over 2014. In December it was 10 years since we moved to live here in Eleuthera permanently and this month it is 11 years since we first visited the island. In many ways it seems like a hundred years since we lived in the […]
