    A colourful and dazzling production of Bugsy Malone at Birmingham Rep with a joyous and uplifting extended finale. I may have shed a tear or two. Or maybe there was just a little custard pie in my eye.

    One Day in London: Regents Canal Walk from Hackney to Paddington

    Byemfletche July 11, 2022March 19, 2025

    One of my favourite things to do in London is to stroll along the capital’s waterways. The Regents Canal walk from Hackney to Paddington can easily be done in one day, and there are plenty of eating, drinking and sightseeing stops along the way!

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!
