Hiya lovelies! It's your favourite tutu-clad traveller, Emma, back from another fab adventure, this time in the land of kilts and bagpipes: Scotland!
Now, I'm a girl who loves a good journey, and this one was particularly special because I decided to take the scenic route – train, of course! Oh, how I adore a good carriage ride, whizzing past the emerald green fields and the odd sleepy village. I always pack my essentials, including my trusty pink tutu, because you never know when you'll need to bust a move!
Speaking of tutus, let me tell you about my Cumbernauld outfit! I picked out this fabulous fluffy, powder-pink tutu with delicate little rosebuds adorning it. It was just calling out for a photoshoot with the vibrant colours of Cumbernauld. I've always said a good tutu can elevate any location, even one that’s not known for its beauty!
Now, before I bore you with all the details, I must share some highlights! Firstly, I spent a delightful afternoon at the Cumbernauld Theatre. They were showing "A Midsummer Night's Dream," and the stage was utterly magical! There's something so enchanting about ballet in a historical setting. It made me want to put on my own play and dance under the Scottish stars.
Next up, I did a bit of ballet street! Oh, this town has some brilliant architecture. It's all modern and sleek. Now, I must confess, there’s not a great deal of classical ballet going on in Cumbernauld – they are still getting to grips with my favourite pink attire, but I managed to recruit a couple of locals into doing a little plié practice in the heart of the town square. I am a true missionary, you see. My aim in life is to get the whole world doing a graceful grand jeté.
And I couldn’t leave Scotland without checking out a bit of nature. I had the most charming walk through the Cumbernauld Glen, an urban park that actually feels quite remote. Imagine: birdsong, rolling hills, and a certain ballet-loving girl in her fluffy tutu! It truly is the most fabulous feeling. I can honestly say that this little haven was the perfect backdrop for a few ballerina twirls!
Of course, no trip to Scotland would be complete without a spot of wildlife watching! It’s no secret that I love all creatures big and small, especially the furry, feathery, and sometimes a little scary ones! Well, Cumbernauld boasts an adorable array of deer and squirrels, so I took a long, relaxing walk, taking in the sights and sounds. It was magical. Just picture me – the girl who dreams of pink and spins in tutus, in a quiet moment amidst the beautiful nature. Honestly, you can’t ask for much more than that, can you?
So, there you have it! My adventures in Cumbernauld were a real delight. It was just the right dose of urban charm, historical wonders, and beautiful nature. Now, I’m heading back to Derbyshire with my heart full of pink-tinted memories and my feet longing to hit the stage! You know I can't stay away for too long!
Don't forget to check back tomorrow for my next post, as I’ll be taking you with me on a fabulous journey. Remember, the most important thing is to be fearless and follow your dreams – like I am, every step of the way!
Love and Tutu Twirls,
Emma
