    A Brummie Home and Abroad: Where It All Began

    Byemfletche February 2, 2021February 2, 2021

    Every superhero has an origin story. You know, the story that delves into the trauma and tragedy, and then the strength and resilience to become the beloved figure you know and love. Bloggers have an origin story too. Why they started blogging. The pain of those first few awkward posts. The balance between information and…

    Our 2020 travel plans were scuppered due to COVID-19. Whilst our priority is to stay safe and protect our loved ones, it doesn’t mean we can’t dream of travel in 2021

    The Truth About Being 40-Something

    Byemfletche January 16, 2021July 19, 2024

    I have no problems being 40-something. Age is just a number. But there are some things people just don’t tell you about being 40-something. Like hairs. And hormones.

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!

Emmalene, A Brummie Home and Abroad
