    Travel Diaries: Soaking up the Sun in Sorrento

    Byemfletche November 21, 2022July 19, 2024

    The phrase “La Dolce Vita” could have been created to describe Sorrento. This glittering town, nestling high on the clifftops of Campania, teeters over the sparkling Bay of Naples. The Lattari Mountain range provide a spectacular backdrop and the spine of the Sorrentine peninsula. The air is scented with lemon, mixed with a hint of…

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!
