Hello dear readers – and here is all the latest news from Eleuthera this week. I know I have been banging on about our fire truck for the last few weeks – but this is a very big deal. If you own a home here in the Governors Harbour area or indeed if you rent property here then you need […]
When your bank is in Harbour Island, Eleuthera it is not the most convenient thing. It means that there are times when internet banking just will not help.

Yes – great news if you haven’t heard it already that no tests or travel visas are required anymore to travel to and from the Bahamas. For us that means no antigen test to travel to the US or back home here. Of course this only applies if you are fully vaccinated – if you are not then you still […]
News this week of the rest of our trip to Florida including eating at the Surf Club and also news that Hot Buns is now open here in Governors Harbour. Hot Buns has had a quiet slide into opening. They are not quite fully operational but what we see so far is great. Bob and I had a takeout sandwich […]
This week we are gearing up for Summer Camp in Governors Harbour so I am handing the blog over to Dr Claire Verden who has written this great piece …… “As the weather gets warmer and the end of the school year comes ever closer, it’s time to think about what children will do over the long summer weeks when […]
