Hey lovelies!
It's your girl Emma, writing to you from the heart of Wembley! Can you believe it? I'm in London town, just a stone's throw from the legendary Wembley Stadium. This trip has been in the works for weeks, and I've been so excited to share all the details with you!
Now, as you all know, a girl's gotta look fabulous wherever she goes. And this trip, my friends, required a tutu worthy of the occasion. You wouldn't believe the price tag! Let's just say that it could feed a small family for a week! But this was no ordinary tutu; think pink, think fluffy, think sparkly – and add a sprinkle of fairytale magic! It was perfect for the ballet performance I'm about to see – 'Swan Lake' at the prestigious Royal Opera House. Can you even imagine? I'm still pinching myself!
It's actually been a rather idyllic journey to get here. I started in my darling Derbyshire, my home county, and instead of jumping on the train (though I love train travel, so comfy!), I decided to go on a real adventure. Imagine me, in my trusty pink riding gear, atop a magnificent chestnut mare, galloping across the rolling hills. The wind in my hair, the sun on my face, the gentle rhythm of my horse's hooves – I swear, it felt like something straight out of a movie!
Of course, there was a moment when my little steed almost lost his footing on a patch of muddy ground – but, bless his soul, he held steady. We made it to the railway station with time to spare and boarded the train to London. I had the perfect seat by the window, admiring the rolling green countryside, daydreaming about dancing in a magical forest filled with flowers. Who says ballet isn't inspiring?
Once in London, the hustle and bustle of the city was almost overwhelming, but my love for pink tutus, well, it works its magic even amidst the chaos. It feels like I carry my little pocket of fairytale wherever I go! Everywhere I looked there were new things to see - vibrant street art, dazzling shop windows, even a family of pigeons wearing tiny, oh so trendy, pink tutus! (Okay, maybe not that last one. My imagination gets away from me sometimes.)
This city is bursting with stories and sights to explore, but even with all the attractions vying for my attention, the performance at the Royal Opera House has been the highlight of the trip. 'Swan Lake' is simply magical! It takes me away to a land where grace, passion, and sheer artistry reign. The costumes, the music, the choreography - it all creates an emotional whirlwind.
I swear, even the most hardened cynic wouldn't be able to resist the allure of a performance like this. You can practically smell the passion in the air! Seeing so many gifted dancers work their magic on the stage really gets my own creative juices flowing.
This is a truly unforgettable evening. I might even dare to say that I could picture myself dancing on that stage. Maybe one day... but, let's not get carried away. The experience has me filled with inspiration! Maybe I'll share a few dance routines inspired by the ballet on my Instagram, if you’re watching my stories!
Tomorrow I’m going to explore Covent Garden. The theatre scene is buzzing! Can’t wait to soak it all in, perhaps even spot a fellow tutu enthusiast. Speaking of tutus, if you haven’t joined my “Tutu for All” movement, now is the perfect time to grab yours and give ballet a go! You can start with just a tiny twirl at home, just like me! It’s amazing how this tiny gesture can lift your spirit, not to mention make you feel beautiful and powerful.
Right, well I need to dash and get some shut-eye. It’s going to be a busy day in London. Catch up on all my London adventure updates on my Instagram stories.
Remember, life's a dance, so twirl with confidence and never be afraid to add a little pink to your life.
Until next time, my lovelies! Stay radiant!
With love and twirls, Emma x
