    Visiting Cologne at Christmas Time (Part 2)

    Byemfletche December 21, 2019April 29, 2024

    Cologne at Christmas Time. So much to do and see that it deserves at least two blog posts

    Cologne. Home of an awesome cathedral. House gnomes. Bottomless beer. An anything-goes annual carnival. And seven – yes, seven – Christmas Markets. We sampled them all in the name of good blogging (Part 2 of 2)

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
