Hello my darling dancers! It’s your favourite pink tutu wearing, ballet-obsessed blogger, Emma, back with another fabulous entry from the fabulous world of twirling. 🩰 Today I’m writing to you from the beautiful town of Wrecsam in Wales, and let me tell you, this trip has been everything.
Remember my recent obsession with train travel? Well, I decided to make it a whole day affair. This little train journey was an experience, let me tell you! Gorgeous countryside, friendly folk, and plenty of opportunities for catching some much-needed shut-eye. That's my kinda weekend escape! 😴
Arriving in Wrecsam, I felt a sense of history, of being transported back in time. Cobblestone streets, quaint shops, and charming little tea rooms were just the things to fuel this girl's love of vintage vibes. 😍 The sunshine, a beautiful golden hue, made it all the more magical!
And speaking of magical, could we talk about my outfit choice for this adventure? You guessed it, darling! My favourite pink tutu, this time teamed up with a fluffy, white cardigan for those chilly Welsh winds. A dash of pink lipstick, a touch of blush, and I was ready to conquer the town!
But before exploring Wrecsam’s wonders, my dancing heart needed to be satisfied. Imagine this: a quaint dance studio, tucked away down a side street, bathed in soft, golden light. It felt like stepping into a secret ballet haven. ✨ The instructor, a lovely lady with the most enchanting eyes, was a whirlwind of grace and energy, showing me a few steps and introducing me to the world of Welsh folk dance! Did you know ballet techniques are woven into their traditional moves? My mind was blown! 🤯
Now, Wrecsam wouldn’t be complete without a visit to their gorgeous cathedral. Standing tall and proud, its towering spire was a testament to faith and beauty. The tranquility of the space, the intricate carvings and stained-glass windows, they all combined to create a spiritual atmosphere. And, guess what? My pink tutu actually matched the floral arrangements perfectly! 😉
No day trip is complete without some tasty treats. So, after exploring the market square with its vibrant stalls, I indulged in a scrumptious Welsh afternoon tea. Scones, jam, clotted cream… need I say more? All this followed by a creamy hot chocolate - truly a taste of paradise. 🥰
But the highlight of the day was definitely my visit to the nearby "Chirk Castle". It felt like stepping onto the set of a Jane Austen novel. I couldn’t resist a stroll through the vast parkland surrounding the castle, with the beautiful views of the countryside. As a bit of a wildlife enthusiast, I was delighted to spot some lovely birds fluttering through the trees and a friendly fox that looked very unimpressed by my tutu. 😜
So, you see, my darling dancers, even the simple pleasures can be extraordinary when you bring a pink tutu along. My visit to Wrecsam, with its breathtaking countryside, welcoming people, and infectious sense of warmth, reminded me that every day is a chance for adventure. It’s not about going to the big, well-known destinations (though I’m definitely a fan of those too!), but discovering the hidden gems tucked away, ready to be explored. 💎
Until next time, remember to dance like no one’s watching, to wear pink with pride, and to always strive to discover the beauty in your everyday. 💖
With all my love and twirls,
Emma xx
