I have always loved dance. Real dancing, ballet, ballroom dancing, interpretative dancing - not the meaningless gyrations that passes as dance today, but I digress...  Jordan Matter captures not just the movement but the emotion, the passion and draws us into his...

Harry and Meghan or Meghan and Harry – they’ve done it again. Had a photo of themselves published, this time on the front page of Time Magazine and everyone’s talking about them again. Some who abhor this couple say the photo is ludicrous, that a Prince and heir to...

Today, as we think about the evil that happened on our shores, 20 years ago, I am reminded of events we must always remember. I think on these things because I am all too aware that some have already forgotten, or perhaps just got complacent in thinking about it. The...

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...

Looking for completely unique and UNFORGETTABLE Florida day trips? We found the perfect place for you just 40 minutes up the road from the Little English Guesthouse. Just northwest of Tallahassee in Marianna, FL you’ll find the only Florida State Park that offers...

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...

Come to the Word of South Festival of Literature and Music in downtown Tallahassee! Here's the rundown of all the happenings - https://wordofsouthfestival.com/2022-schedule and you'll need to make sure you're staying at the Little English Guesthouse, so make your...

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...
