Morality is a nebulous phenomenon for some. What's right for one person is not right for another...and woe betide anyone who dares to "judge" another. Or even, good grief, have an opinion that disagrees with someone else's opinion. We appear to live in a time when...

These are the Versailles Gardens on Paradise Island off Nassau, not quite the little English gardens but we keep dreaming.. On one of our adventures a few years ago, we found a huge statue of Dr. David Livingstone, the Scottish missionary explorer during Victorian...

This struck me recently as being a wonderful visual for life. When we're young, we just want to be older and cooler. When we get older, we discover we're just not that cool! We rush to get to the next level on our career path, only to find out being a workaholic is...

Have you ever wondered where Father Christmas (aka Santa Claus to North Americans) spends the night on Christmas Day? After all, he's been busy on the night of Christmas Eve, dashing around the entire globe like a nutter delivering all those gifts to good little boys...

we count down the last 7 days to Christmas Day. The day when the Hallmark movies are supposed to come to life in our homes as we have the perfect day in our oh-so-perfect lives...not. If you're human, like me, you have to be intentional about focusing on the reason...

Just the thing to get you in the mood for Christmas - get your tickets now for the Tallahassee Symphony Orchestra. Jazz diva Carmen Bradford and the Leon Anderson Trio will join the TSO for a jazzy Christmas. Special guests from Pas de Vie ballet will join them for...

Stop racking your brain about what to get for that person in your life that has everything, and what they don't already have, they could probably buy for themselves. Give them the gift of travel...it'll be different from anything else they received and they'll be...

This is mine. Many decades ago, I found myself at the biggest ditch I'd ever seen. It was an epic adventure for sure. I'd arrived at the Grand Canyon in Arizona simply because an old friend had once shared, with great enthusiasm, what a spectacular place it was. I'd...

It's not too late to plan on pre-running off all that good food you know you're going to eat on Thanksgiving! The 44th annual Turkey Trot Festival will take place at Goodwood Museum and Gardens from 1:30-5 pm after Thanksgiving lunch. There's still time to register...

In case you didn't know, it's the 400th anniversary of those rebels leaving Mother England and setting forth from Plymouth. This Thanksgiving would be a great time to be in Plymouth for the celebrations! Check it out here:...

Such drama after the Miami game with the "release" of Coach Taggart! But the FSU-Alabama game is still on and you can score some great tickets! Just make sure to score a great room at the Little English Guesthouse while you're at it! We have a place for you, but you...

On Tuesday night, James LeBlanc and the Winchesters are performing at Goodwood, here in Tallahassee. It's part of the FSU Opening Nights that has grown and grown every single year since they started - I know this because Thom and I went in the early years, and now...

Thanks to Amazing World on Facebook, this popped up to remind me of how fearless I was when I was young-er. (Much younger!) It had been my goal in life to travel the world, and thankfully, I had parents who didn't try to stop me, although I knew they were worried out...

So last weekend the clocks went back in England (the US goes back this weekend). I certainly hope the workers got double-time for doing the back -breaking work of moving all the stones around at Stonehenge! Do you think so?

Our wonderful guests this week asked me the "story" of the beautifully etched mirror on the breakfast room wall. I love how our guests always ask about the "story" and it occurred to me that lots of pieces in our bed and breakfast do indeed, have a story. Some are...

My friend and I were sitting in a sandwich shop, having stolen an hour from the day to connect, laugh, solve the problems of our universes and contribute to the daily nourishment of our bodies. Towards the end of our stolen hour, I became aware she was no longer...
