Hello lovelies! It's Emma here, bringing you sunshine from the heart of Bishops Stortford. The train ride up was heavenly, especially with a window seat that offered views of rolling hills and dappled sunlight. Did I tell you about the gorgeous lavender field I saw? The colours just screamed "tutu-worthy" - the perfect setting for a photo op, don't you think?
Speaking of tutus, I've had a real adventure today, venturing into a territory usually associated with lycra and weights: a gym! I'll admit, the whole idea had me slightly intimidated – a ballet girl in a world of dumbbells? Well, imagine my surprise when I discovered "Gymnastic Tutu," a delightful little studio where elegance meets strength.
They even had a pink tutu hanging from the ceiling - not exactly a standard gym decoration! I did a little giggle as I went in, feeling the slight flutter in my stomach that always accompanies trying something new. But then I met Alice, the instructor, and everything changed. She was an absolute darling, full of energy and joy, and she instantly made me feel at ease. She said my tutu would be just fine, so we went on an exciting ballet-inspired fitness adventure, moving to music and blending tumbling, jumping, and dance moves into a playful routine.
Seriously, who would have thought? Gymnastics in a tutu? It felt absolutely incredible! You should try it! It's such a fabulous mix of strength training, flexibility, and, dare I say, elegance! Alice promised a bit of "pink" in each workout too, which made me even happier. Pink just makes everything so much brighter!
But before you think I'm giving up on traditional ballet entirely, I must confess, my heart still belongs on the stage. I was lucky enough to see an amazing performance in Bishops Stortford yesterday, with the most fantastic dancers who could fly through the air. And talking of flying, after all the acrobatics at "Gymnastic Tutu", it felt like my feet couldn't stay on the ground for more than two seconds!
But it wasn't all twirling and leaping! After the ballet, I went exploring the charming town, and guess what I found? A quaint tea shop with the cutest pink teacups – you just know I had to buy one, right? I can just picture myself sipping afternoon tea in my prettiest pink tutu. How perfect would that be?
Speaking of pink, have you noticed how a touch of pink can transform your day? Wearing a pink ribbon or a pink scarf instantly makes you feel happier, more optimistic. It’s like a little ray of sunshine in your life. It reminds me of my life in Derbyshire – green hills and meadows, fields of wildflowers, and yes, of course, pink roses.
Now, before I wrap this post up, I just had to share one more little discovery – the most gorgeous pink pony! Imagine, a beautiful little pink pony, strolling along a trail. She was a sight for sore eyes, and she had the most soulful brown eyes I’ve ever seen. I had to go up and stroke her, and she just let me pat her soft nose. I could feel the peacefulness and love from this beautiful creature. I think I might have just found a new ballet inspiration!
Until next time, darlings! Keep on dancing and never be afraid to add a touch of pink to your day! And, oh, please, try to embrace the magic of ballet, even if it’s in the unlikely setting of a gym, or on a horse-riding trail!
Lots of love and happy twirling,
Emma
