Oh, my darlings! It’s Emma here, fresh from a whirlwind trip to Bath. And let me tell you, it was pure bliss! I’m not sure if it was the beautiful Georgian architecture, the charming cobblestone streets, or the divine pastries at the local bakery (oh, those raspberry swirls!), but my heart is positively overflowing with love for this city.
Today’s blog post, however, isn’t all about Bath’s loveliness (although it truly is lovely). It’s also about me and my little adventures! You see, I took my pink tutu along (obviously) for the most adorable photo-op. Imagine me, twirling amidst the graceful curves of the Roman Baths, my pink tutu swirling like a symphony in motion. Truly a moment of pure delight!
But before I share my bath-tastic photos, let’s rewind a bit. As you know, I am a woman who adores a good train journey, especially when it’s to a place as enchanting as Bath. It felt almost like stepping into a Jane Austen novel – quaint carriages, polite conversations about the weather, and the faintest scent of lavender in the air. I’ve always believed a train journey makes the adventure that much more magical. It gives you time to settle into your thoughts, gaze out at the changing scenery, and imagine all the wonderful experiences that lie ahead.
Upon arrival in Bath, I couldn’t resist a stop at the Royal Crescent. Have you seen these glorious buildings? They are truly breathtaking! I felt like I was walking through a masterpiece, and, naturally, my tutu felt right at home in this architectural wonderland. A quick spin with the Bath Abbey in the background (did you know it dates back to 7th century?!) was simply divine!
Now, the Bath Spa, I’m sorry to say, did not quite live up to its spa-worthy name. The water, for a spa, felt just a little bit too tepid for my liking. Perhaps it’s because I’m a girl who’s used to the thrill of hot springs! (Anyone else been to the Peak District hot springs? Oh, they’re magical!) But, even if the bath wasn’t up to my usual standards, the surroundings certainly were. A quick pirouette on the grand stone steps – chefs kiss! The sheer elegance of it all made even the most lukewarm bath feel glamorous!
After a leisurely afternoon soaking in the atmosphere (and slightly lukewarm water), I indulged in a truly scrumptious meal. Think fresh, local produce cooked to perfection. I must say, my new favourite foodie find is a quaint little cafe called "The Chocolate Duchess". Now, you might think, what’s a ballet dancer doing indulging in chocolates? Well, darling, one must find balance, wouldn’t you say? A touch of indulgence never hurt anyone, especially when you’re living your best life in a pink tutu!
The highlight of my trip, though, was without a doubt the Bath Ballet Festival. Imagine this: stunning performances under the starlit sky, passionate dancers expressing their stories through every flick of the wrist, every leap, and every arabesque. And, let me tell you, their passion truly ignited something in me!
But enough about my Bath adventures, I know what you’re all waiting for: my photos! Of course, I wouldn’t be true to myself without a photo shoot in a pink tutu amidst all this beauty. Let me take you on a little visual journey:

These, my lovelies, are just a small selection of the wonderful memories I collected on this enchanting trip to Bath. But more importantly, it was a reminder of my mission: to spread the joy of ballet and encourage everyone to embrace their inner ballerina, pink tutu and all!
And what is my life’s mission you might ask? Why it’s simple, my dear. It's to make the world a pink tutu wearing place and to see everyone embrace their inner ballerina. Because at the end of the day, isn’t that what life is all about? Dancing our way through every day with a touch of grace, a sprinkle of confidence, and a heart filled with love for the art of dance!

Until next time, keep twirling!

Emma
