Finally! Allowed to donate blood!

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...

London is life ?

We get asked this question quite a lot and the answer is YES! We have all sorts of add on extras. Our most popular add on is our fluffy bathrobe! Just $65, with our monogram, all wrapped and ready to go. Folks will often use one of our bathrobes in the room, and then...

Did lightning strike again?

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...
