    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”

    Delft and The Hague: Easy Day Trips from Rotterdam

    Byemfletche April 4, 2021April 4, 2021

But Mr Fletche and I decided to take advantage of Rotterdam’s proximity to a number of other destinations in Southern Holland, and take ourselves on a little tour. Here are two easy day trips from…

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
