News this week that the Colmans got jabbed in Eleuthera. Yes – we have the Covid vaccine here – thanks to the government of India who donated a lot of vaccines to the countries of the Caribbean – and so we have had our first part of the Astra-Zeneca vaccine.
We heard last Sunday that a certain amount of doses were being brought to the island and that it was for front line workers and those over 65 – yippee – that meant us. I called the government clinic in Palmetto Point and registered over the phone and was told to arrive between 9.30 and 10 the next morning. Well we decided to get there a little earlier – 9.15 and the place was already jam packed.
We got properly registered and waited until we were called – by having my Mum with us I have to admit that we probably got special treatment. I got a wheelchair for her from the clinic and as we were all waiting outside they allowed us to take her into the shade and slipped us in !
I know that not everybody is that keen to get the vaccine but certainly the people in Eleuthera seem pretty keen. I feel sure that in the future unless you can prove that you have been vaccinated then international travel will be much more difficult.
It was a great day for me – surprise vaccination and a long overdue haircut !
Work is progressing at Sprawling Towers – the footings have been poured and in the next day or so they will start laying the blocks. On Saturday we are looking forward to a meeting with Ethan from the Levy Preserve about the planting plan for the land around the house. It will save a lot of time, money and wasted effort by talking to someone who really knows what will work well regarding the trees we plant…..
I am so excited about our new home – every night before I go to sleep I walk around the new house and gardens in my head – I feel like I already know it so well !
Well this weekend is of course Easter and we are looking forward to having a couple of days break and talking about the new house !! But we wish you all a Happy Easter and a a safe time if you are traveling…..

Love seeing the Sprawling Towers progress! Look forward to the finished product. I know it will be amazing!
Thank you – so very exciting for us !
Kathy, interesting that you say that you walk around your new house and gardens in your head. I always did this when we bought a new house. I placed furniture, books, paintings and even filled the kitchen cupboards. Perhaps this is a thing? Could be an interesting piece of research….
Enjoy your dreams. Eileen x
Yes – I know that not everyone can see things like this but it is such fun when you can – right ? It is definitely to do with the idea of spatial awareness but much more as well…..Lovely to hear from you x
So would you recommend Levy Preserve over Clyde Bethel? We will be needing the same help to plant flowers and fruit trees
That’s a tough question – I’m sure that both are good. I am hoping to use Levy Preserve, Doyle Sands and Dorothy at Awesome Blossoms in Savannah Sound – I think that trying to share our business around the island is a good idea. I know that Clyde Bethel has a wealth of local knowledge that is very valuable.
Being British, ever think of naming it “Faulty Towers”????
Actually that should be Fawlty Towers and absolutely not ! We want happiness and harmony not strife and nothing faulty thank you ….
