And there are plenty of destinations that I’m looking forward to visiting – these are the destinations that have made my inaugural Great British Travel Bucket List.

    A Brummie in North Warwickshire: 13 Fab Things to See and Do

    Byemfletche May 13, 2021January 6, 2026

    My postcode may be a Birmingham one, but my dialling code says otherwise. I’m no longer an 0121 now I’m out here in the sticks. Although who uses a landline these days anyway? So it’s time to introduce you to my local area, and the delights of North Warwickshire

    Glamping at Middle Stone Farm, West Somerset

    Byemfletche May 2, 2021July 30, 2022

    “Throwing open the canvas doors for the first time elicits a gasp of awe from me. And I’ve pored over the photos so knew what to expect. From Mr Fletche, I get a nod of approval. He prefers to be surprised by my choices. And I think the gal chose well this time round. This is not just any tent”

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
