    50 memorable travel (and other) experiences

    By November 7, 2015

    A fellow blogger posted a wonderful blog recently about his top 50 memorable experiences. I thought it would be a nice retrospective to look at everywhere I’ve been so far – sort of a reverse bucket list…

    Autumn Market at the Bond in Digbeth, Birmingham – October 31st, 2015

    Byemfletche November 2, 2015July 21, 2020

    I’m ashamed to say that I don’t always go to the local festivals and events that I so regularly post about on Facebook and Twitter, but I’m glad I made the effort to go to the Autumn Market at the Bond in Digbeth on Saturday…

    Not ANOTHER blog about Birmingham…

    By October 15, 2015

    One of the questions that I was asked when I embarked on this mini quest to create a digital persona  to keep me out of trouble and to keep you informed about travel and Birmingham events was… Why?  And more specifically… why Birmingham? Well first of all, write about what you know.  I’m a Brummie…

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
