Where’s a good place to stay in Tallahassee?
Why the Little English Guesthouse Bed and Breakfast / hotel, of course! After 20 years in business, we still absolutely love reading the comments that our guest write in our books. This particular guest had never had crumpets and tea before. We were happy to provide...
National High Magnetic Field Laboratory Open House on Saturday!
A couple years ago before the Covid pandemic changed the world as we knew it, we went to this event. So glad they're doing it again! Even if you're not a science-y kind of person this is truly fascinating, and I highly suggest you go on Saturday, PARTICULARLY if you...
Harry, Meghan – enough already?
Spoiler alert, I haven't seen the Netflix documentary from Prince Harry and Meghan. Neither have I read (or purchased) their book "Spare". Although I recently heard that the book is one of the biggest sellers in history on the Amazon website (other than the Bible of...

Ukrainian and Russian guests, are you wondering what happened next?
Well, that's a first. Most of our guests are from the USA. Within that "most" category, the majority of them are within the tri-state region. We've noticed in the last 5-6 years that the French, German, Italian and British crowd that usually come through in the summer...
Where’s the best place to see Christmas lights?
If you're in Tallahassee, the best place to see Christmas lights would start at the Little English Guesthouse Bed and Breakfast on Timberlane Road, go past Dorothy Oven Park on Thomasville Road and end up at the Allison House just before you reach Havana. But if...
What’s so great about Alaska? Glad you asked…
Thom and I had the good fortune to check something off our bucket list. Alaska. Yes, we went North to Alaska and realized why we, and so many others, have it on their bucket list. 1) It takes a long time to get there. We flew cross country from eastern Florida to...
Tonight is the night for Revival, downtown!
Avis Berry and the Revival band, baby! I'm a Groupie I admit it. Join me tonight downtown under the stars. The Sundown Concert Series that runs from May to November is about to be over. So if you've not had a change to listen to some great FREE live music at Cascades...
Good riddance, Hurricane Nicole! Back to business now
Nicole, you did your damage and we're glad to see the back of you. No offense. Sorry, but not sorry. A category 1 hurricane in November, is almost, but not quite, unheard of in Florida. This one made landfall in South East Florida, Vero Beach, and then blew across...

We smell like….. nothing! Goal: Odor free bed and breakfast
Have you ever wandered into a place, a shop, a restaurant, a home, a church or an office and felt your sinuses plug up, your eyes water, your head instantly pound and your throat constrict? Me too. (No, not that me too -#metoo). I find myself developing allergies...
The Queen is gone, time to move on …
It's the end of a long 10 days of national mourning. Queen Elizabeth II died, is now buried and gone and it appears, it's time to move on. It's been a week of watching people from all over the world stand in line for hours upon hours, to pay their respects in...
Do you believe in the kindness of strangers?
Queen Elizabeth II died last week. I've been rather glued to the TV to grieve with my fellow countrymen from afar. It is quite a monumental event, even for those of us who left Britain, set up home and family in a new country, and accepted new citizenship. Over the...
Queen Elizabeth II died.
For Brits everywhere, including in Tallahassee, it feels like a beloved member of our family has died. Queen Elizabeth II died today. Just 2 days ago, she invited Liz Truss to be our new Prime Minister. It was the 15th time, she had invited a member of the public (the...

What are the rules for cricket?
The rules? Other than make sure there are plenty of sandwiches, and pots and pots of tea? Well the rules are pretty simple - and oh, so dreadfully complicated. To begin, there are always two teams and 11 players on each team. When the ball hits the wicket, someone is...
FSU students are baa-aack!
It's move in week for thousands of FSU students and FAMU students too! For us locals, that means that traffic is about to return to pre-summer levels. For local restaurants that means the quiet, sometimes completely dead, season is over. For freshmen who haven't...
Want to give a reason to stay at a real bed and breakfast?
Thom and I took a quick trip to Central Florida to celebrate several things we'd not had time to celebrate these last few crazy Covid years. We went to a show, ate fabulous food and stayed at a hotel (because there were no real bed and breakfasts for miles around). I...
Queen consort? Princess Consort? I really don’t care, do you?
So what's all the bruhaha about Camilla, wife to Charles, Prince of Wales and the next King of England? She's the second wife of Charles, the first was Diana, Princess of Wales. Camilla was the "other woman" that made the marriage a bit crowded for Diana, if you...
Where’s an awesome place to stay in Tallahassee?
"Due to Parkinsons, my hand writing is too poor to put into your lovely notebook that is in the London room. We just want you to know how much we loved our stay with you and plan to return without a doubt. We travel many many miles per year and always love to choose a...
