Hello my darling tutu twirlers! Welcome back to #PinkTutuBlogLondon! This week I’m bursting with excitement to share my latest adventures, straight from the heart of London! As always, it’s Friday, and the 27th of October, which means a fresh dose of Pink Tutu fun on www.pink-tutu.com. This week's post is number 530 – can you believe we’ve come this far? Time really does fly when you’re busy spreading the pink tutu gospel!
From Derbyshire to London - A Ballet-Fuelled Journey 🚄
As many of you know, my love of ballet not only fuels my passion for twirling but also funds my travels. I've just completed a spectacular performance with the Derby Dance Academy, and it was a roaring success! It's amazing how a bit of fancy footwork and graceful spins can get you from the beautiful Peak District of Derbyshire right into the bustling metropolis of London.
I'm so grateful for every opportunity to perform and share my love of ballet with audiences, it truly makes every moment worth it. A quick hop on a train with my faithful ballet bag packed with pink tutus, and I’m off to London for another whirlwind weekend.
London Calling - A Friday Filled With Frills!
After arriving in London with my head full of excitement, my first stop was – where else?! – Liberty London. The iconic building is a feast for the senses, and I just love the way it effortlessly blends historical charm with modern elegance. It was an absolute delight wandering the store, surrounded by vintage treasures, exquisite textiles, and captivating window displays. You never know what delightful discovery awaits around every corner at Liberty – that's the beauty of it all!
Of course, I couldn’t leave without a little souvenir for myself - a delightful Liberty London tote bag. It’s perfectly pink, the perfect touch of colour to my outfit!
Twirling Through Theatreland - A Night at the Olivier
I wouldn't be a true #PinkTutuBlogLondoner if I didn't treat myself to some fabulous theatre! This evening I'm off to see “A Midsummer Night's Dream” at the National Theatre on the Southbank. 🎭 It's one of my favourite plays – so whimsical, charming, and full of magic! It’s going to be amazing to see how they’ve interpreted the classic Shakespearean story. My pink tutu will be the perfect attire, don’t you think? Of course, it’ll be a bit of a shock amongst all the sharp suits and gowns, but you know me - I love a good tutu twist!
A Sweet Treat and a Ballet Lesson - The Perfect Ending
After the show, I’m planning a pit stop at Fortnum & Mason for a delicious hot chocolate - a London tradition. I absolutely adore the grandeur of the place, and it never fails to take my breath away. I can just picture myself sipping a hot chocolate while enjoying the warm glow of the shop’s magical Christmas displays.
The weekend’s not over yet, I have a ballet class tomorrow with the London Contemporary Dance School - what a wonderful way to end a weekend in London, I can't wait! They’ve always been welcoming to my pink tutus - I guess they understand it's a way of expressing yourself and celebrating your passion!
#PinkTutuLife - Spreading The Joy Of Twirling
It’s been a whirlwind 24 hours, and it's only the beginning! Tomorrow brings more fun and exploration, but for now, I'll sign off with a heartfelt wish for everyone to embrace the joy of twirling, spreading some sparkle wherever you go. After all, life's too short not to wear a pink tutu every now and then!
Stay tuned for more Pink Tutu adventures next Friday, dear readers. Remember, if you’re a pink tutu lover, please feel free to drop me a line, and let me know your favourite spots in London or your own tutu stories - I love hearing from all my wonderful #PinkTutuLife readers!
