Hello darlings! It’s Emma here, back with you again from my latest ballet-tastic travels. This time, I ventured to the charming town of Bangor in beautiful Wales. Did you know Bangor is the oldest city in Wales? Talk about history and elegance! And trust me, this trip was just as enchanting as that sounds. 😉
Now, I’ve always been a fan of exploring new places, but a little bit of me still adores the old-fashioned ways of travel. So, imagine my delight when I boarded a glorious old steam train that took me all the way to Bangor! It was like stepping back in time, a beautiful experience with such a lovely rhythmic chugging as we travelled along. (Did I mention it was a gorgeous sunny day?) And what's a trip to Wales without a few horses? Luckily, my stay in Bangor was right next to some gorgeous rolling countryside, so I spent a lovely afternoon trotting about on a majestic, pearly grey mare. What's not to love about those powerful legs and shiny coats? Such magnificent creatures. 🥰
Speaking of elegance, Bangor itself is a little gem. It's quaint, full of quaint cafes, lovely little shops with amazing hats and handmade jewellery - so much fun! And as if I needed any more inspiration for my ballet looks, I happened to discover a lovely little antique shop selling some exquisite vintage ballet tutus, so, of course, I just had to bring a new one home. 😉 I chose a beautiful white tulle tutu, with intricate embroidery - perfect for dancing around a quaint village and soaking in the beauty of my surroundings. It felt like I had stepped straight out of a ballet scene!
I knew I couldn't leave Bangor without seeing a local ballet performance. I stumbled upon a beautiful theatre, a classic gem in the centre of the town, and let me tell you, the dancers there were incredible! They moved with such grace, their stories in the performance were told just through movement, and I was completely captivated by every second. They really had the heart of a dancer!
But Bangor wasn't just about beautiful performances and delightful sights - it was about discovering the beauty of nature too! A visit to the Welsh mountains was simply breathtaking. There’s just something magical about the towering hills and the air. Plus, I even got to see some wild goats frolicking around – such cute and agile little creatures. Nature really knows how to put on a show.
Back in my lovely Derbyshire home now, but I'm already reminiscing about the incredible time I had in Bangor. My adventures have taught me that ballet really is universal language, just like the wild creatures and the beauty of nature, no matter where you are in the world. I can't wait to explore more and share my ballet journey with you all!
As always, remember to always wear your tutu with pride and never be afraid to follow your dance dreams! 🩰❤️ And remember, keep those smiles wide and hearts open!
**Stay sparkly,
Emma xoxo**
