    A Family Getaway to Polperro. Call the Coastguard.

    Byemfletche September 17, 2020October 13, 2020

    Just Mom, Dad, two kids and a family getaway to Polperro. Except the two kids are in their forties (and married to each other). And the two kids are the ones keeping a watchful eye on the two wild 66 year olds. Making sure they restrict their sugar intake. Get to bed at a reasonable time. That sort of thing. And also trying to socially distance in a chalet.

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!
