….Words fail me…
I can imagine for the next few years my neighbours in Marianna, Altha, Grand Ridge, Bristol, Hosford, Two Egg (yes, it exists), Blountstown, Alford, Panama City and Mexico Beach will speak of Before Michael and After Michael. The devastation in these little Panhandle...

Vast, untamed sea – captivating to watch..
I spotted this photo in a British photography contest and had to repost it for you. It's in County Durham, in the north of England and that's the cold North Sea throwing itself against that little, skinny David of a lighthouse. Majestic, right? Beautiful,...
Love fest continues here …
We love our guests and we're realizing they might just love us too! It's our 15th year in business and we're still surprised when people are surprised to find us. Of course with all the choices out there, we know it can be difficult to "stand out" by staying at the...
What’s new at the Little English Guesthouse?
When you've just jumped off the interstate and you've driven a mile, make sure to look for our newest sign out front. What do you think of it? Shout out to ARWorkshop in Tallahassee for helping us put it together. Check them out at www.ARWorkshop.com...
Guess where we met this bloke?
Every so often one just has to break out of the routine and do something new and different. When I was younger, and my brain was probably not fully formed, I did crazy things in the name of new and different, like jumping out of a plane. Nowadays, new and different is...
Little English Guesthouse -Excellent!
We did it again! So happy that the largest online review site in the world deemed us EXCELLENT for earning consistent high ratings from our guests. Help us spread the word about the best place to stay in Tallahassee! And tell them to book direct for the best rates....
Reviews: Every opinion matters, right?
Thanks Michael O. for the true 5-star review! It certainly helps small businesses like ours stay at the top of page 1 of the Google search when folks are looking for a legal bed and breakfast in Tallahassee. Nowadays everyone reads reviews on everything. I actually...
This just touched my heart…
The life of a full time innkeeper can be a complicated one. One has to know when to stand and chat because a guest needs to pour their heart out about their awful day/week/year. One has to know when to discreetly and quickly leave because really the guest wants to be...
Have you hugged your imperfect father?
On Father's Day, it is only appropriate that our thoughts turn to Dad. For those of us whose fathers are no longer with us, it is with a wistful heart. I am fortunate that I had a wonderful father. He raised us by example. He worked hard, provided well for our family...
FSU city, back to life soon and staying at the Little English Guesthouse.
In a couple of months, Tallahassee will be awash with new students arriving to further their education and start planning their futures. I don't know about you, but living in a university town does make you appreciate young people in a way one might not before. When...
Yes, Mum…
Have you ever heard words coming out of your mouth that force you to look over your shoulder to ensure your mother isn't standing behind you speaking them? Perhaps it's a sign of growing older but how often have you said "oh my, I sound like my mother/father/grandma"....
Another reason to love Tallahassee..
Being a busy innkeeper can keep you locked within the 4 walls of your castle, as the world comes to your doorstep and you provide the hospitality that comes naturally (or should, if you're a proper innkeeper!). Every so often though, one just has to break out....
Take me dancing this weekend….
So this rainy weekend with a tropical storm threatening to spoil all the outdoor activities, do something a little different and lot more fun... There's a new place in town that's been brought in from Jacksonville. Highly successful there, methinks it should take off...
Artistic…or a bit disconcerting?
Check out this artist's sketch of Diana, Katherine and the new Meghan - lovely brides for sure. A friend recently sent it to me (I guess she knows I follow Royal happenings!), and I'm not sure how I feel about it. The fact that Diana is gone makes it seem a little...
And now for the rest of the story…
It was a beautiful wedding, that's for sure, but I'm staying tuned to this most modern couple to see how they maximize this moment in the spotlight. Just to see this official wedding photo causes a double take for those of us who are accustomed to looking at photos of...
Picture perfect British Royal wedding
Job done! And new job about to commence... It's perfect weather in Windsor today, quite a feat British meteorologists will tell you. And the ceremony seems to have gone off without a hitch. Meghan took my advice and went with a simple, minimalist look rather than the...
Tour of Maclay Gardens
The springtime tour of Tallahassee's finest public and private gardens begins at Maclay Gardens State Park (right around the corner from Tallahassee's finest bed and breakfast!) with breakfast, followed by a silent auction, a plant sale and then a self-guided tour of...
Royal wedding countdown…
So the latest news for today is that Harry's father, Prince Charles, will walk Meghan down the aisle tomorrow. Her father is apparently ill, and staying in Mexico City, where he resides. Her mother, will ride with her to the chapel, but not walk her down the aisle....
Eat dinner with the big cats?…no problem!
Up close and personal, baby! One of our recent adventures was at the Wildlife Survival Sanctuary in Springhill, Florida. What a fabulous place! This is not your Disney, perfect, a bit manufactured, experience with lions and tigers and bears, oh my! No, this was a walk...
