    Theatre Review: Cluedo

    Byemfletche May 4, 2022May 4, 2022

    Was it Miss Scarlett in the study with the candlestick? Or Professor Plum in the cellar with the dagger? We headed to @TheAlexBham for Press Night of @CluedoStagePlay, wondering “whodunnit?”

    Spring Reads 2022

    Byemfletche April 16, 2022April 10, 2022

    It’s time for a wrap-up of the books I’ve read so far this year! As always, it’s a varied mix, including the long-anticipated return of Rachel Walsh in Marian Keyes “Again, Rachel”. Does it live up to the hype?

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!
