    Why I didn’t love Wonderful Wonderful Copenhagen

    Byemfletche April 7, 2016May 27, 2022

    I really really wanted to love Copenhagen. It’s in Denmark, regularly voted the happiest nation in Europe. They invented hygge – a word which basically means happy and cosy. And it has the beautiful Nyhavn with its permanent boats and beautifully coloured buildings.  However it turns out that I never really fell in love with Copenhagen for three…

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
