Meghan, Harry – enough already
It seems like I write a blog, but then they go and do something else to get themselves all over my news screen and I think of something i forgot to say. As a reminder, when Meghan came on the scene, she was quite well liked. Like Diana, she seemed to be a breathe of...
Finally! Allowed to donate blood!
It was a new start to a new me in 2024. I started donating blood in my earlier years, as soon as I was old enough. I think I was 16, and needed my parents' permission. Then I moved to Florida and found the American blood donation place and went there to do my civic...
Birdsong up close and personal…
One of the lovely (just one, there are lots more!) things about staying at our bed and breakfast - birds! Thom does a phenomenal job of planting just the right trees and shrubs to attract butterflies and birds. He makes sure the bird house/s are facing just the right...
London is life ?
Can't help it, London is in my life blood! On a recent mad dash over the pond to see my family (and freeze because said blood is much thinner after decades in Florida!), I picked up a charming little book of quotes such as this from Samuel Johnson. I've left it on the...

English Tea or Panamanian coffee?

Did lightning strike again?
Here at the Little English Guesthouse, we're getting a bit brassed off with daily thunderstorms accompanied by lightning strike - again. Heaving gullywashers accompanied by loud thunder and lightning. Or as Brits would say "absolutely bucketing down". In the last few...
