    USA Sept 2010 – Grand Canyon – Just a big hole in the ground?

    Byemfletche August 3, 2015July 21, 2020

    Once again, I’m up early enough to watch the sunrise. Are my sleep patterns ever going to return? Although the nap in the middle of yesterday afternoon probably didn’t help matters… Another Starbucks run from Mr Fletche (“Did you know there were people down there that looked as if they’d been there all night?”); a…

    Byemfletche August 3, 2015July 21, 2020

    In the first travel diary of our USA Road Trip, we visit Las Vegas. It’s bright, brash, loud – and very overwhelming when you’re dealing with jetlag!

    Starting anew…

    Byemfletche August 3, 2015July 21, 2020

    Sit back, pour a glass of an appropriate travel-related beverage (prosecco for Italy, vodka for Krakow, a nice, strong beer for Belgium…) and enjoy the stories of the world as told by A Brummie Home and Abroad…

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
