    What's in a name?

    By October 22, 2016

    …I accepted that every computer would try and auto correct my name to “Enamel”. Or “Emmanuelle”. Yes, like she of the early 70s French softcore porn movies…

    Top 8 Places to Visit in Tenerife With a Rental Car

    Byemfletche September 23, 2016December 18, 2023

    Were we content to lie on by the pool every day, soaking up the Tenerife sun and drinking garishly-coloured cocktails? Were we heck. Instead we hired a car and traversed the island. Here are our top 8 tips for places to visit with – or without a car – in Tenerife.

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
