Oh darling, how I've missed writing! September is flying by faster than a fouetté en tournant. I swear, every day feels like a whirlwind of rehearsals, class, and the most delicious, vibrant shade of pink I've ever seen. And, it's not just in my tutu (though it's certainly the star of the show). No, this pink is life, it's happiness, it's Letchworth!
You see, my lovelies, I took the most magical journey to this charming little town the other day. A train ride, mind you - oh, the romance of the tracks, the wind whipping through my hair (and yes, it was perfectly styled for a photo shoot on Instagram, of course!). I am, after all, the queen of blending practicality with glamour.
Let me tell you, Letchworth has me utterly enchanted. The town itself is absolutely adorable. It's like a slice of Victorian heaven with its quaint shops, its cobbled streets, and these utterly divine little gardens with all kinds of flowers! Now, a girl who loves colour as much as I do, is completely besotted! My heart just flutters at the sight of those beautiful hues.
I even caught a glimpse of a deer! It was so graceful, prancing through the woods like a ballet dancer on pointes. Just look at the divine beauty of nature, always inspiring my art!
Now, I can't leave you without sharing the story of my leotard. Let's call her "Daphne," shall we? Daphne is a glorious burst of magenta silk, absolutely dazzling. And, no, she was not for a performance, darling! We're talking about fashion-forward leisurewear. A splash of colour on a day that promised adventures! You just never know when you'll be meeting a beautiful ballerina butterfly, now do you?
While we were on the topic of ballet, how absolutely wonderful it would be if everyone were to try it out, wouldn't it? Letchworth, it seems, was more than happy to encourage me. There was a most charming little dance studio, nestled in a little cottage-like building that I swear had twinkling lights at its window. How could I resist?
So, I ventured in, a little unsure of what to expect, and you know what? It was pure magic! I'm not talking about the pirouettes I learned (though those were quite graceful, if I may say so myself), but the energy. The sense of community, of joy, of expression! It reminded me why I've dedicated my life to this art. We all need that little dose of magic in our lives, darling! Don't you agree?
I danced until I couldn't dance any longer, then I waltzed out of the studio, heart light and head high, already dreaming of my next adventure in pink! Yes, my darling, Letchworth was simply perfect. It was all the beautiful pink and all the fabulous fun!
Of course, I had to capture it all for you lovelies! From the quaint coffee shop where I indulged in a perfect pink cupcake (naturally!) to a picture-perfect little bookstore with an adorable cat guarding the door, my instagram was in a flurry of delight. I even filmed a little dance piece on the street, showcasing the vibrant charm of this town! Letchworth, you stole my heart, but fear not, I will return, my darling! I just might even pack a pink tutu!
Stay tuned, you lovelies, because tomorrow, I'm bringing the glitz and glamour of the theatre to you. I have a performance lined up that will surely leave you breathless, my darlings!
With love and a whole lotta pink,
Emma
