Hello lovelies!
It's Emma here, back from a delightful jaunt to Eltham in my trusty pink tutu. I swear, there’s a new adventure waiting behind every ruffled layer of this magical garment. I think the pink tutu, bless its fluffy heart, attracts exciting situations, like a butterfly flitting from one enchanting bloom to the next.
Today’s adventure took me to a village that could be straight out of a fairytale – Eltham. Picturesque cottages huddled against a Tudor palace, the kind you see in films, only this time, I was right there in the middle of it all. And, of course, it wouldn’t be an Emma outing without the quintessential pink tutu!
It’s always a delight to hop on the train to escape Derbyshire for a bit. You know, there’s just something magical about seeing the countryside whiz past as you sip your chamomile tea. Maybe it’s the romance of steam trains, or perhaps it's the knowledge that the destination is promising a new ballet experience or a unique wildlife encounter – I’m a real nature enthusiast, you see!
But Eltham, oh, Eltham had its own special magic!
Firstly, let's talk about Eltham Palace. A magnificent structure of stone, the palace took my breath away. Imagine grand halls and towering ceilings adorned with Tudor-era decorations! A delightful time capsule from the past! And the grounds... I literally gasped, picturing Henry VIII strolling these very paths, with perhaps a feathered quill tucked behind his ear.
The beauty of Eltham wasn’t limited to the palace though. The whole village was bursting with life, with local artists selling their wares on quaint little squares. I even snagged the prettiest pink painted teapot for my tea-time indulgence! I swear, I couldn’t have found a pinker one if I tried.
But my day didn’t end there, darlings. The best was yet to come – I discovered a beautiful woodland right near Eltham Palace. The dappled sunlight streaming through the canopy and the fresh air… heaven! The local wildlife took notice of my vibrant tutu as well! It was almost like I was conducting an orchestra of buzzing bees, chattering squirrels and chirping birds. Such a heartwarming moment.
The wildlife observation concluded with a wonderful afternoon tea. A teapot, some scones, a dollop of clotted cream, and my very own pink tutu? I simply couldn't ask for anything more. This trip really epitomized everything I love about this lifestyle: vibrant colour, exquisite beauty, a pinch of historical magic, a sprinkle of wildlife whimsy, and the undeniable joy of the perfect tutu.
Oh, did I mention that Eltham is also close to Greenwich? Well, of course it is! Who needs a palace when you can hop aboard a Thames boat for a leisurely cruise past historic ships and under the iconic Cutty Sark?
I know what you're thinking: ‘But Emma, didn’t you mention your love of horses?’
Yes, darlings! It was only fitting to close off this remarkable day with a ride! You can imagine me in my pink tutu, trotting along with a magnificent chestnut steed by my side, wind in my hair, sunshine on my face. It truly felt like a fairy tale come true!
As my horse gently carried me back to Eltham Station, a bittersweet feeling settled in. Bidding farewell to a captivating day like this always feels a bit like saying goodbye to a dear friend.
So what is the takeaway, dear readers, from my journey to Eltham? Quite simply: it’s all about the pursuit of beauty and wonder, wherever life may take you! If you’re looking for a truly magical experience, take a walk on the wild side in a pink tutu. It really is all you need, and it might just change your perspective on the world!

Until then, keep your spirits high and your tutus twirling!
With love, Emma xx
