    Byemfletche April 14, 2018April 1, 2023

    Amo l’Italia: How Italy Captured My Heart

    Byemfletche April 2, 2018July 19, 2024

    I close my eyes. Take a deep breath. Clear my mind of all rambling thoughts. And think about places I love. And the one place that always comes to mind over all others is Italy.

    “It’s One For The Money, Two For The Show…” This is Elvis, New Alex Theatre

    Byemfletche March 20, 2018October 23, 2019

    It’s a nostalgia-fest at the New Alex Theatre as Pa Lee and I prepare to be transported back 50 years to Elvis Presley’s 1968 comeback show…

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
