Why wouldn’t you Book Direct and get the best rate?
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...
This is the reason you should stay with us…
We love Tallahassee! We watched this video that's just been released and felt glad that we're in such a lovely town. We've had lots of folks in the last 17 years staying with us while looking for a place to live. We're not in the relocation business but we've been...
This Friday, it’s Greek Feast!!
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...
Ever been led down the Tunnel of Questions??? ???
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....
Certainly it’s not illegal…but is it right?
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...
Dr. Livingstone, I presume?
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...
Bye Harry/Meghan, be happy…Hmm…see you soon…
And so it ends...or so it begins..depending on where you stand on the Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan saga. Today the Queen announced that the not so newlyweds will be leaving the Royal Firm, relinquishing their HRH titles, coming off the taxpayer's payroll and...
You are enough, my friend!
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...
Get here for the after-Christmas sales on Thursday…
We always giggled at people sleeping in tents on a stone cold pavement outside the most famous shop in England - Harrods - on Christmas night. Just to be the first in the queue to get into the sale on Boxing Day. The most expensive shop in the land reduced their...
Santa’s tired and spends Christmas night here…
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...

Indulge in a drive-by…moment of joy
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...
Exhausted thinking about what to get for that special person? Give a gift certificate for rest and relaxation!
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...
What’s your favourite place on earth?
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...

Is it really 400 years already?
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:...
Taggart’s gone but the game’s still on…

One night only! You don’t want to miss this
