Hello lovelies!
It’s Emma here, your pink-tutu-wearing, ballet-obsessed blogger, writing to you from the beautiful city of Salisbury. I’m in my element – surrounded by history, architecture, and a touch of medieval magic that’s definitely sparking my creative inspiration!
Now, let’s get down to business! You all know how much I love my tutus, right? I’m like a magpie drawn to anything sparkly and twirly – especially if it's pink! This week, I was fortunate enough to pick up this absolutely fabulous, German tutu – think blush-pink layers of tulle, a hint of silver embroidery, and the most dreamy feather boa I’ve ever seen. It’s giving me major Swan Lake vibes and it was the perfect excuse to plan a mini trip. Plus, I thought what better way to discover the charm of Salisbury than to do so in my latest pink creation?
So, how did I get to Salisbury, you ask? Well, naturally, by train! It's a quintessential part of my style – I just can’t get enough of the rhythmic clickety-clack, the feeling of gliding across the landscape, and the sheer elegance of those plush red seats! This time, though, I wanted a change, so I planned a special detour through the stunning Wiltshire countryside, riding through fields of golden daffodils on horseback – how absolutely delightful! It’s so freeing and an amazing way to really connect with the land, feeling the wind in your hair, and getting your own little adventure going. Plus, it's the best way to enjoy the truly British countryside, am I right? The views were breathtaking!
Now, you're probably thinking, "Emma, it's great you’re obsessed with pink tutus and trains, but what about ballet, darling?” Don’t worry, dear friends, you know my heart is always in the ballet! As soon as I arrived in Salisbury, I practically sprinted to the theatre – Salisbury Playhouse is just divine – I just love the quaint charm of smaller, historic venues, they always seem to have such an intimate atmosphere. And guess what?! There was an amazing ballet-inspired play, "A Midsummer Night's Dream"! Imagine, the story of a beautiful Shakespearean play infused with graceful movement, romantic characters, and an air of pure theatricality… divine. It was so much fun, watching the actors flit across the stage, their movements evoking so much emotion and bringing such vibrancy to the play! Afterwards, I even found a charming little dance studio right in the heart of Salisbury, where I had a brilliant ballet class. I can tell you, after a long day of train journeys, a gallop across the hills, and watching Shakespeare, my body was certainly begging for some proper stretch and barre work! I’ve fallen in love with this delightful city, not just for its rich history and vibrant theatre scene but also because of its welcoming people and that infectious countryside charm. I felt like I’d travelled back in time, embracing those classic, romantic English vibes that I simply adore.
However, you all know I can't travel anywhere without a touch of whimsy. Remember how much I love wildlife? Well, I stumbled across a fantastic wildlife park, and guess what?! They were hosting a rare pink flamingo exhibition! Now, you know what that means - matching pink-tutu vibes for days! 🦩💕
Honestly, the colours of the flamingo's plumage, those long elegant necks, and the overall graceful presence of those stunning creatures – it was just magical! It completely filled my cup of pink, tutu-loving inspiration. I think it was their graceful dance on the lake, and that perfect ballet of balance, that reminded me that true beauty can be found in the most unexpected places, even within nature's vibrant dance.
Oh, and of course, I made sure to have a perfect cup of tea. Tea is a fundamental part of the Pink Tutu lifestyle! ☕️💕 I even indulged in a cheeky cream tea, a traditional afternoon delight with scones, clotted cream, and jam! It’s always the perfect ending to any journey, especially when you’re in the British countryside!
To sum up this incredible trip:
- German Tutu: Check - because a pink tutu makes any journey perfect.
- Train and Horseback: Check – because what’s a blogger’s trip without a touch of adventure?
