A sizzling summer in Eleuthera

It really is a sizzling summer here in Eleuthera – and we had a spectacular thunderstorm and plenty of rain to prove it. Hopefully the rain will cool the ocean down a bit and lessen the risk of a hurricane…… Meanwhile the Haynes Library Summer camp for the kids is going from strength to strength. This week there is a […]

Second eye done for Bob in Fort Lauderdale.

So this last week we took another trip to Fort Lauderdale for Bob to get laser surgery on his second eye. I am so pleased to say that it went even better than the first one with much less discomfort and soreness. Dr Spratt and his team at the South Florida Eye Health Clinic do a wonderful job and we […]

Summer camps, lovely lunches in Eleuthera and Happy Independence Day

This week there is plenty to write about – summer camps, lovely lunches and Happy Independence Day all here in the Bahamas. So first – the summer camps. This week I went to see the summer camp being held at Haynes Library. The theme of the camp is around the world in 30 days – six weeks of camp – […]

News from Da Perk and Tops

This week I bring you news of what is happening at Da Perk and also at our rental house – Tops….. Last week I mentioned that I had persuaded Bob to get some of our workmen to do an evening shift for a couple of days plus work the whole weekend getting the roof deck built, the back deck replaced […]

News from Da Perk in Governors Harbour

Great news this week from Da Perk – right here in Governors Harbour ! This is under new management now – Horatio Smith – who I have mentioned on the blog here before – newly moved here from Nassau has taken over and we can expect great things I know….. He has assembled a new team and they look good […]

Bob’s eye and a tale of 2 suppers !

This week I bring you up to date about Bob’s eye and give you a tale of 2 suppers ! Thank you so much for all the enquiries about how Bob is doing after his eye surgery. Slow but sure progress is the answer – the other morning he told me that he could see the numbers on his phone […]

Eye opening surgery or eyes wide shut ?

So Bob had his surgery – eye opening surgery or eyes wide shut ? Well a bit of both really. Dr Spratt – the lovely eye specialist – did do a great job and we were very fortunate in being able to talk with our good friend Tony Poletti who had the same procedure a few weeks ago with the […]

England in the spring – food for the soul…..

So many of you readers will know that I have been in England for the funeral of my young nephew – Craig Billingham. It was a sad affair of course – but very touching to see and hear what a well loved person he was. The cycling club he belonged to walked in front of the hearse as a guard […]

Keeping fit and healthy in Eleuthera

Keeping fit and healthy in Eleuthera is not as easy as it is in many places. There are no gyms to speak of here so it takes a bit of detective work to find good ways of staying fit. Bob has found a great personal trainer that he works out with twice a week. Remorn comes to our house and […]

Fort Lauderdale and all that.

Fort Lauderdale and all that got off to a pretty dodgy start with our flight out of Governors Harbour. I don’t like to write anything that is very negative but I’m afraid that the situation was handled so badly I do want to make people aware of how difficult flights can be here. We were booked on Silver Airways to […]
