    Kotor Views From Above, Minus the Hiking: The Kotor-Lovćen Cable Car

    Byemfletche August 27, 2025August 27, 2025

    Riding the Kotor-Lovćen Cable Car – and the subsequent alpine coaster ride and spritz-with-a-view – was one of the highlights of our week in Montenegro. The views from the top are truly breathtaking – and all without much effort 😉

    Theatre Review: West Side Story (The Alexandra Stage Experience 2025)

    Byemfletche August 15, 2025August 15, 2025

    There is so much to enjoy in this Stage Experience production of West Side Story, and it has a right to shine amongst the other professional shows gracing the Alexandra Stage in 2025. It is a 5-star production brimming with raw emotion and outstanding talent.

    AD: This Press Review refers to the 2025 Touring Production of “War Horse” at the Alexandra Theatre, Birmingham* It’s an unusual Sunday afternoon visit for us to the Alexandra Birmingham for Press Night – or should that be Press Afternoon. But two things are drawing us to the theatre. Firstly, the air conditioning on this…

    AD | Smokin’ Hot Buffet & Grill: All-You-Can-Eat Global Cuisine in Coventry

So what IS a Brummie?

Welcome to my World!

Alright bab?

I’m Emmalene, a forty-something born and bred Brummie. Married to Chris. AKA Mr Fletche, taker of photographs, driver abroad and long-suffering travel companion.

I’m a big advocate of eating, drinking and supporting local independent businesses.

But travel is my passion. Simple, easy travel. Here you’ll find how to cram all the sights into a weekend city break. Accidental hikes. Travel fails. Honest rambling travel diaries. Where to find craft beer, gin and street food.

We fit travel around full-time jobs, making the most of weekends, Bank Holidays and maximising those precious annual leave days!

Apart from travel, I love to read books, listen to music, drink gin and visit the theatre.

I always love to hear what you think so please like, comment or share!

Happy travelling…home and abroad!

Emmalene, A Brummie Home and Abroad
