    Why Being A Brummie At Home Isn’t So Bad

    Byemfletche June 6, 2020June 6, 2020

    June’s #TravelLinkUp theme got me thinking about Home. And thanks to COVID-19, A Brummie at Home and Abroad has become A Brummie At Home. It’s the new normal. And I kinda like it.

    Byemfletche May 30, 2020October 26, 2020

    One thing I’m thankful to COVID-19 for? Giving me the time to read more. I’ve consumed 12 books since the middle of March, so here’s a look at what’s been in my Lockdown Library

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
