Hello darlings! It's your favourite pink tutu-wearing blogger, Emma, back with another daily dose of all things ballet and a sprinkle of fabulousness! 💖 Today, I'm bursting with excitement because I'm venturing to the historic town of Colchester! I know what you're thinking – Colchester? Yes, you heard right! It's not just any ordinary place – it's a town with a fascinating past and a hidden ballet gem waiting to be discovered.
The train journey to Colchester is always a treat – especially with my comfy pink travel bag filled with essentials like my ballet shoes (pink, of course), a good book (currently immersed in "The Little Prince" – I can't get enough of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry!), and a bag of delicious strawberry sweets. The rhythmic chugging of the train, the scenic landscapes flashing by, and a good book make it the perfect setting for daydreaming and plotting my next pink tutu adventure.
Now, about my Colchester escapade! I'm absolutely thrilled to be visiting the Colchester Ballet Theatre – you'll never guess why! – they have a special "Tutus of Colour" event! Just imagine, a whole stage filled with dancers in different coloured tutus – it's going to be a visual feast, darling! This event aligns perfectly with my lifelong mission – to inspire everyone to wear a pink tutu and dance their hearts out. You never know, you might just find your inner ballerina! 😉
Speaking of dancing, I’ve been itching to put on my own pink tutu and pirouette through Colchester! I think a tutu adds an instant touch of elegance and whimsy to any outing – you could wear it to a picnic in the park, a leisurely walk by the river, or even to a quirky tea shop! It's a guaranteed way to turn heads and spread some ballet magic.
Besides the ballet event, Colchester has a vibrant history – it's even considered the oldest recorded town in Britain! The Colchester Castle Museum will be my first stop for a dose of history and culture. I'm particularly excited to see the Roman relics and get a glimpse of this ancient town's past.
For those of you who adore wildlife, Colchester Zoo is a must-visit! Imagine: spotting graceful zebras, cheeky monkeys, majestic lions, and exotic birds – what a visual spectacle! It's always a delightful escape to watch the animals interact and witness the wonders of the natural world. I'll definitely be picking up some snacks for the animals – my motto: "Sharing is caring" - especially when it comes to wildlife.
Evening finds me venturing into Colchester town center – a beautiful, historic place with charming cobblestone streets, quaint shops, and delightful pubs. I plan on stopping for a delicious meal with a good cuppa tea – the perfect end to a fantastic day. Maybe a small cake – a sweet ending to my ballet-themed adventure?
My time in Colchester will be short but sweet – but I'm sure to leave with memories and photos (and maybe even a few new pink tutu-loving friends!) to share.
Stay tuned, my dearest pink tutu fans! I'll be sharing all the highlights of my trip – from the "Tutus of Colour" performance to the animal encounters at the zoo, to the history and culture that Colchester has to offer. You're in for a delightful ride, my darlings. 💖
Until next time,
Emma xx
