#TutuBlog 2001-01-17 in Wrecsam with a red tutu.

Post Number: 1659

Hello darlings! Emma here, and it's time for another delightful post on www.pink-tutu.com! Today, I'm writing to you from the charming town of Wrecsam in Wales. Let me tell you, the scenery here is absolutely breathtaking, the air is crisp and fresh, and the Welsh accents are just utterly charming.

My journey here started with a jaunty train ride through the Derbyshire countryside. As always, I opted for a bright pink velvet dress, paired with a classic white ballet shoe, of course! And let's not forget my trusty travel companion - a bright pink tutu - perfectly suited for twirling on the platform whilst waiting for the train. You never know who might catch a glimpse of a travelling ballet ballerina, eh?

I must say, the Welsh countryside truly does feel like stepping into a fairytale. Emerald green hills rolling effortlessly into the distance, ancient castles perched upon craggy outcrops, and the sweetest little villages nestled within their midst. The vibrant yellow daffodils dotted about are a joyous explosion of colour, making me feel as though I've entered a painting by a Renaissance artist!

I managed to squeeze in a morning class at a delightful little studio called 'The Twirling Ballerinas', tucked away down a cobbled street. Now, I am a huge advocate of ballet for everyone. Whether you're a seasoned dancer or a complete novice, the discipline, grace, and artistic expression you gain from ballet is truly remarkable. The classes were bursting with fun energy, and the other students were all lovely. There was even a gentleman in his sixties sporting a fabulously fluffy, pink tutu - he truly embodies the spirit of #TutuForAll!

But I simply can't be in Wales without visiting a true gem: the Snowdonia National Park! So, after class, I jumped into a horse-drawn carriage for a leisurely trip into the heart of this stunning wilderness. It's a perfect blend of rugged mountains and tranquil lakes, with charming little waterfalls and ancient forests. It was during this adventure that I encountered the most majestic, yet delicate creature: a red squirrel. It scampered up a gnarled old oak, its bushy tail a crimson blur against the verdant foliage. You just don't get these magnificent creatures in the manicured gardens of Derbyshire!

This delightful Welsh town has also awakened my culinary side! A traditional Welsh "Cawl" (a hearty vegetable and lamb stew) was the perfect warm, hearty meal after a day of exploring. And then, for dessert, a delicious "Bara Brith" (a sweet tea loaf bread studded with dried fruit), made my sweet tooth utterly happy.

Oh, and don't forget, I am always searching for new, exquisite additions to my tutu collection! Wrecsam has not disappointed! I discovered a quaint, charming boutique bursting with colourful, flamboyant, tutus just begging to be twirled in! I of course went completely bonkers, and walked away with a stunning scarlet red number! It’s just calling out to be photographed in the evening light on the town square, don’t you think?

So there you have it, my little pink tutus! This trip has truly been an enchantment from beginning to end! I cannot recommend Wales enough. This place has reminded me to slow down, embrace the little joys, and of course, to twirl whenever the opportunity arises. And as always, I say: let’s spread the love for ballet and pink tutus! Let's embrace the elegance, the grace, and the joy that ballet brings to the world! Until next time, darlings!
