Starting this week with news that Colman Towers here in Governors Harbour Eleuthera is on the market. As I told you all earlier we are making big changes in our lives and building a new house a little further down the hill towards French Leave Beach – so we have put Buena Vista – as it is really called – […]
Great news this week that we are opening up again in Eleuthera – curfew is extended until 10pm and no more weekend lockdowns. Inter island flights start again on Thursday or Friday this week – so life – which has been on hold a bit can start again. Of course we hope that people are still sensible – wearing masks […]
This week I am bringing you a heartening update on the Friends of the Library program which I wrote about a few weeks ago. Latest news is that 185 tablets have been purchased and delivered to students from Hatchet Bay down to Tarpum Bay. Altogether six primary schools and Central Eleuthera High School have all benefitted from this very successful […]

Bob’s birthday was on the 29th September but we actually had a little celebratory party the Saturday before. Angelika and Sandy from Bacchus Fine Foods had a wonderful curry party for Bob – the […]
Here we are then – sauntering through September – the middle of the month already !! Last week I was told about a great new centre opening in Palmetto Point – so I went along and had a chat with Betera Taylor who along with her husband Owen Taylor is behind the new venture. It is called The Myriad and […]
This week I want to say a big – very big – thank you to the Leon Levy Preserve and Ms Shelby White for a very generous donation to Project Text – run through Haynes Library here in Governors Harbour.
