Hello my lovelies! It’s your favourite pink tutu-clad ballerina, Emma, here, writing to you live from the gorgeous High Wycombe. The journey was simply divine. As always, I opted for the train - the scenery was just breathtaking, and you can't beat a good old fashioned cup of tea in a carriage, especially with a view of those lovely rolling hills!
High Wycombe, you see, has been calling to me for a while. It’s not just the charming cobbled streets and quaint shops, though I must say, those are a big draw, darlings! No, High Wycombe holds a special place in my heart for a different reason: the Wycombe Swan Theatre.
You see, I was lucky enough to snag tickets to see a breathtaking production of 'Giselle', and trust me, it was everything. The costumes, the dancing, the emotion! It truly was an evening to remember. Giselle's heartbroken love story had me utterly engrossed. It’s all about true love, betrayal, and of course, ballet! How could I resist?!
But it’s not just the performance that had me swooning. I mean, how can you resist a town named 'Wycombe'?! It practically sounds like a song, doesn't it? And darling, have you seen the High Wycombe High Street? Oh my word! It's a haven of charming independent boutiques and antique shops, just begging to be explored. And those cute cafes? I was simply obsessed with the scones and jam, and of course, my obligatory pink latte!
Speaking of colours, I must say High Wycombe is the epitome of autumnal hues right now! The parks were bathed in golds, reds, and oranges, with just a touch of dusky pink from the heather blooms! It was a feast for the eyes. You can see my latest Instagram posts for those, my dears! I just can't resist capturing these perfect moments.
After all that beauty, what was a girl to do but pop into one of High Wycombe’s fantastic restaurants? I went for a cozy little place with a name just as delightful as the town: 'The Swan & The Hare'. I swear, it's the most charming name for a restaurant, right?! They even had a tiny little sculpture of a swan and a hare perched above the door! I ordered the most delicious mushroom and truffle risotto - divine. And of course, my lovely friend the owner brought me a plate of perfectly ripe raspberries for dessert! It’s these little touches that make life so special, darling.
The day was just absolutely perfect. I mean, it wouldn't be complete without a dash of adventure, right? And I found the perfect way to round off my trip. I simply had to ride on one of the Wycombe Railway’s beautiful steam engines! A bit of nostalgia in a classic, vintage setting. Let's just say the experience was just magical, darlings. Picture me in my black tutu and little black hat, whizzing past rolling fields!
I wouldn't be me without mentioning that I got my tutu photo opportunities in! There’s something magical about swirling around in a tutu in front of such magnificent scenery! The park was filled with bright autumn leaves and those majestic old trees. It was truly an inspiring moment, perfect for capturing some Instagram worthy pictures! You can catch those snaps on my website, darling!
And if there's one thing that really makes a place special, it’s the wildlife! And High Wycombe truly is a haven for some adorable critters! The deer in the local park were simply magnificent. Their eyes sparkled, their coats were a perfect mahogany, and they moved with such grace and ease, a ballerina's perfect counterpoint to my human twirls!
Before I go, remember to always follow my top tip: never be afraid to step out of your comfort zone. Just like trying a new dance routine or wearing a tutu for the first time! The world is waiting to be discovered, so embrace the journey! Wear that pink tutu! Don't be afraid to swirl. The world's a stage, darlings!
Until next time, stay fabulous and wear your tutus with pride!
Yours in Pink, Emma x
