    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?”

    On a quiet street, just a 15 minute walk from the hustle and bustle of Edinburgh’s New Town, is No 11 Brunswick Street, an elegant boutique hotel and brasserie

    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?

    Byemfletche March 27, 2022August 1, 2025

    AD | Come to Dough & Brew for the pizza. Stay for the fried chicken. And the shawarma. And the dirty fries. And the toasties. And the pancakes….

    Theatre Review: Chicago

    Byemfletche January 25, 2022April 26, 2022

    (AD Event Invite*) It’s not my first time watching Chicago on stage. In fact, I sat in this very same theatre 20 years ago, watching John Altman (aka Nasty Nick Cotton) give it the ol’ razzle dazzle as Billy Flynn. I dust off my black spandex bodystocking and head to The Alex Birmingham for Press Night…

So what IS a Brummie?

Booking tours or activities? Use my Get Your Guide (Affiliate Link)!

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!
