    From City to Coast: Florence to Cinque Terre

    Byemfletche May 5, 2016August 17, 2024

    Monterosso-al-Mare in Italy’s Cinque Terre. It’s just like Weston-Super-Mare. But without the donkeys. And with blue sea.

    Byemfletche April 17, 2016April 6, 2023

    When in Florence, you definitely have to visit Michelangelo’s David in the Accademia, catch the views at Pizzale Michelangelo & eat gelato off the floor… The last one’s optional

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
