Hello lovelies!
It's your girl Emma, writing to you live from the gorgeous, historic city of Saint Albans! Today's adventures were extra special - you're about to see why.
But before I tell you about this delightful escapade, I've got a confession. Do you know what's absolutely the most satisfying feeling in the world? Arriving at your destination by train, window seat of course, in a pristine pink tutu. And this time, oh this time, it wasn't just any tutu! This one was Italian! Oh, my goodness, darling, the details were exquisite - layers of silk tulle, meticulously stitched and perfectly formed, just floating as I glided off the train! It truly felt like a fairytale moment.
The journey itself was an absolute delight! We trundled through the heart of the countryside, lush greenery flitting past, while I enjoyed the delightful breeze from my window seat. It reminded me of being a little girl again, giggling with excitement at the world going by.
The main purpose of this trip was to attend a spectacular performance at the Saint Albans City Theatre - and it truly lived up to its name. A performance of 'Sleeping Beauty', darling! The dancers were mesmerising - all flowing grace and effortless athleticism. I swear, I almost levitated off my seat in sheer admiration! My inner ballerina was totally swooning! And the music! A true delight to the ears.
It also felt so magical to watch those stories come to life. The transformation, the passion, the raw emotion, it all took my breath away! The dancers in their beautiful tutus seemed to just be floating across the stage. And the music - well, darling, the music really made the whole thing complete. It was a truly enchanting experience that warmed my heart and sparked my own artistic fire.
Speaking of magic, my day took a truly delightful turn just before the show. I popped down to the Saint Albans Cathedral and was completely blown away. Not just by the intricate architecture, the breathtaking stained-glass windows and the hallowed air, but by the most enchanting sight!
Imagine this - I'm walking across the paved courtyard, and what do I see? A glorious family of grey squirrels, frolicking around like a ballet troupe in their own furry tutus! It was hilarious! I couldn't help but imagine a tiny ballet class taking place under the ancient oaks! I’m convinced those little fur balls have secret ballet ambitions. Who am I to judge their dreams?
So there you have it, dear friends, Saint Albans, in all its beauty and charm, treated me to an afternoon of breathtaking dance, enchanting architecture, and furry ballerina dreams. Honestly, who needs a castle in Italy when you've got this little gem right here in England! It really makes you realise that magic is everywhere, if you just take the time to look for it.
Speaking of finding magic, don’t forget, darlings, every single one of you has a ballerina hidden within, just waiting to break free. Put on your pink tutu and let your spirit soar! Go on, take that first class! And if you’re ever in the neighbourhood of Saint Albans, don’t hesitate to pop into the Cathedral courtyard to see the ballet squirrels - they’ll definitely make you smile.
Now, off I trot! But not before sharing a little treat with you. Don’t you just love a good train trip? Especially with an amazing outfit? Here's a picture of me getting all comfy for my ride. Just think of how many of these little moments of beauty make up a big, beautiful life, darling.

See you soon lovelies! Keep your spirits high, and remember, pink tutus and happy souls go together!
