Could it be she's just pleased to get out of the London cab and rip off her Covid19 facemask?  Or could it be she's just deliriously joyful at being in London and not in Tallahassee, Inferno Florida? Let's be honest, August in Tallahassee is not the most pleasant...

As another hot August day turns into a hot August night (cue Neil Diamond here, for those of us old enough to remember him), we took a stroll outside to admire Thom's handiwork. Our little English garden, despite the searing triple digit heat index these days still...

For British Royalty fans everywhere Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, made her first appearance after giving birth to their second child (Lillibet Diana, in case you forgot). She turned 40 and started a new program, called 40 x 40, to ask famous people to donate 40...

I still remember that night at Wembley Stadium, London with my family. We somehow scored front row seats. (Not really "somehow". Fact is I had brothers and my mother liked them better than me, what can I say? For example, I don't ever recall a family night out at the...

Who knows what will appear in our conservatory on any given week? We were blessed to have a lovely couple stay with us while on their road adventure. (I call them adventures because life's too short not to make every road trip an adventure). This lovely lady, whom...

Our Little English Guesthouse Bed and Breakfast is in the top 10% of hotels worldwide! Tripadvisor just notified us that, according to their stats, we are one of the best. We are chuffed to bits to say the least! Of all the hotels and all the real bed and breakfasts...

If you've recently got your 2 COVID vaccinations and are itching (is that a vaccination side-effect? LOL) like a lot of people, to hit the road and return to some degree of normalcy, we've got a suggestion for you. TALLAHASSEE If you're in Florida, Georgia, Alabama or...

I watched the Oprah interview live on Sunday night. Then I read the scoop for the Monday night live- airing in Britain. On Tuesday I read the fallout. On Wednesday a breakfast TV anchor had quit over it. On Thursday a formal complaint had been filed. By Friday, I...

I do! I do! One would imagine being born and raised in London, we'd be so used to it being overcast and rainy that we would never hang clean washing on the line to dry and expect it to actually dry. But we did hang it out and it did dry (well, most of the time). We...

Being married to a meteorologist- wannabe (sorry, Thom, but it's true), I've grown used to receiving a weather forecast before a "Good morning". Even before a "Happy birthday" or a "Merry Christmas", there's a general announcement of the temperature in Tallahassee,...

It's official, Meghan and Prince Harry will not return as working members of the Royal Family. (Well, one can't really do that from California, in all honesty.) So this doesn't come as a huge surprise to those of us who follow this family (I'm assuming that means you,...

You may not know this, but if you book a hotel or B&B accommodation via an online travel agent, like Booking or Hotels dot com, Expedia etc, they charge the lodging establishment a hefty commission. In these difficult times for local (non-franchise) legal...

Last winter, I crossed pathways with a couple in a local lunchtime eaterie, close to the I-10, which is around the corner from the Little English Guesthouse. They had pulled off to grab lunch and were on their way South, returning to Tallahassee in a fortnight. I got...

It's been a scorcher of a summer! Triple-digit temperatures, stifling humidity, afternoon thunderstorms that last into the night added to all the other troubles we've had this summer. It just seemed like the heat (the political, emotional, financial and atmospheric...

Come together with your family and friends on November 17th to walk for ALS. The Walk to Defeat ALS is the ALS Association's largest annual event, and the funds that are raised go to ALS research, care service programs and nationwide advocacy campaigns. Due to the...

There's less than a fortnight to go in the strangest election season ever. It's been a bit nasty, tempers have flared, in places where one might be surprised to hear such a heated argument. (A debate is not supposed to be an argument). And both Democrats and...
