Decades in Tallahassee and I only just discovered the Alford Greenway, just a 15 minute drive from the Little English Guesthouse. After a month of Stay at Home, practicing physical distancing, obsessive hand washing and sanitizing everything in sight it was a welcome...

Who knew this time a few weeks ago, that the world would be turned upside down that we'd be instructed not to go to restaurants, or to church, or even to get a haircut, but instead to hunker down in our homes And that we would actually do it? Well, most of us anyway....

Today I found myself talking to a friend through the glass in the front door and speaking to someone else in their car from 20 feet away. It felt rather peculiar, but necessary in this time of physical distancing to stop Covid-19 from spreading. And it occurred to me...

During these quiet times when everyone is staying home and staying healthy, we took some time to read through our comment books in our guest rooms. We were particularly delighted to read this one from a recent guest, just before our worlds turned upside down with this...

This is worth an out of town trip to Tallahassee (or a staycation for those that live in Tallahassee). Good food, dancing, sitting outside enjoying the sunshine now that the humidity has dropped to autumnal like temperatures...what more could you want for a fun day...

Social distancing. Who would have imagined, even a fortnight ago, that it would be a thing. And it's a "thing" alright! If the Beatles were around today, I'm sure they'd take personal responsibility and put some distance between themselves, and still get a great...

A little levity during these trying Corona times. Thom and I set an alarm so we'd remember to dash outside at 8:06 tonight. We found ourselves standing in the front garden staring up at the heavens. Yes...there it was! The International Space Station, with it's three...

Smaller lodging establishments that are held to a legal standard of hygiene and safety are a better choice these days than places that have no business license or inspection. And there's no extra charge for "cleaning fee" - what happens if you refuse to pay it, does...

Meghan and Harry are back in Britain just for a few days, to finish off some Royal duties before they escape back to the private island in Canada to raise little Archie out of the glare of the British tabloid press. And who can blame them? Love them or hate them, I...

I'm with Jean-Luc Picard... teatime (or check-in time around here!) would be the perfect time to call it the end of the 9-5 work week and get started with the weekend.Yeah, baby! But alas, the good Captain cannot make it so and thus, for us earth-bound mortals, we'll...

Another annual Tallahassee event we've been going to since they began and pleased to see it grow with each passing year. They serve food, of course, but they also have arts, crafts, wine and clothing for sale. You can watch some dancing, and wander around the Temple...

So it's almost March 5th and this annual world class event is already gearing up be to a sold out event. For those of you that may not know, Red Hills hosts competitors from across the U.S., Central and South America, Europe and parts of Asia in this annual...

I laughed out loud when I saw this, and have to admit I like the humor. George Washington managed to get an American into the British royalty and his ghost watches as Phase 2 of the revolutionary war can now commence! Clever, very clever, don't you think? All those...

World famous virtuoso violinist, Rachel Barton Pine, is performing with the Javacya Arts Conservatory and pianist Matthew Hagle on Friday at St. Peter's Anglican Cathedral, just a couple of miles from the Little English Guesthouse! The concert will feature her...

One of our most recent adventures was to walk on water - well not as well as Jesus or Peter did, of course, but the nearest thing we could get to it. St. Michael's Mount, just off the coast of Penzance in Cornwall (yes the ones where the pirates wrecked ships and...

Search engines (Google, Expedia etc.) are great ways to find a bed and breakfast, hotel, or airline ticket. But why wouldn't you then go directly to the website for that business and get the best rate? It makes me cross to talk to folks who don't know that they're...

So glad they're adding to their annual event by doing this mini celebration and cooking up a whole lot of Greek food! Always one of my favorite Tallahassee events, you should make plans to attend - and book your room at the Little English Guesthouse and make a whole...

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where one simple question leads to another, and another and suddenly you feel like you're being interrogated? Were you in police station at the time? LOL Joking aside, there is a time and a place for the tunnel of questions....
