Hello my dearest tutu-loving friends!
It's Emma here, your resident pink tutu enthusiast, reporting from the charming town of Droitwich Spa, a little gem tucked away in Worcestershire. As you know, I'm a firm believer in finding the extraordinary in the ordinary, and today, Droitwich has totally stolen my heart!
It was a beautiful autumn morning when I hopped onto the train, armed with a book (a classic Jane Austen, naturally), my trusty pink ballet bag and a smile as bright as the sunrise. There's just something so romantic and magical about travelling by train - the rhythmic clatter of wheels, the view whizzing by, the whispered conversations – it makes you feel like you're part of a scene straight out of a novel! And don't even get me started on the freedom of leaving the driving to someone else!
Speaking of magical, did I mention I had a rather exciting outfit on? Well, you already know my weakness for a fabulous tutu, right? This time, I decided to unleash my inner American ballerina. It's a soft blush pink, with just a hint of sparkle, and it's so airy and whimsical, it practically dances on its own! Plus, let's be honest, it just adds a touch of fairy dust to any journey!
The journey to Droitwich was filled with delightful surprises. A family of swans gracefully gliding along a sparkling river, a lone pheasant strutting proudly in the golden afternoon light – the countryside never fails to enchant me. And when I finally arrived at Droitwich Spa, the whole town felt like something out of a fairytale. There were gorgeous brick buildings, quaint little shops brimming with local crafts, and even a charming horse-drawn carriage taking couples for romantic rides. Seriously, how perfect is that?!
Of course, my real mission wasn't just to soak in the charm of Droitwich. No, my lovely readers, this trip was all about tutu-ing it up! And I was not going to disappoint. As I wandered down the cobbled streets, the townspeople must have thought I was mad! Because there I was, twirling happily in my pink tutu, feeling utterly joyful! (No judgment please! This is what happens when I’m feeling the power of pink! Winks.)
One of the most beautiful sights in Droitwich was the ancient brine baths. This stunning Roman structure is just breathtaking! And, even though the waters were a bit chilly today, I couldn't resist dipping my toes in – because, why not? Plus, after my rather enthusiastic twirling, my legs needed a bit of a rest!
I was even lucky enough to catch a glimpse of a rare white heron, its long, slender legs graceful against the backdrop of the spa. What a moment! These kinds of encounters are what truly make my travels so special. They’re little reminders that magic is everywhere if you know where to look.
Before I ended the day, I found a delightful local cafe serving homemade scones with clotted cream and jam (of course I had to indulge!). And as I savored every delicious bite, I felt the most profound sense of happiness and contentment. What a beautiful day! What a beautiful place!
Droitwich, you have completely won me over! I promise to return soon, armed with my pink tutu and a heart overflowing with the magic of discovering new adventures and inspiring others to wear their own pink tutu!
Until next time, my tutu-loving friends,
With love and twirls,
Emma
