Hello darlings! It's Emma here, back with another adventure from your favourite pink tutu-wearing, ballet-obsessed blogger!
Today, I'm venturing north to Norwich. As you know, I'm a sucker for a good train journey – the rhythmic clack-clack of the wheels, the panoramic views whizzing by, and of course, the perfect opportunity for some tutu-twirling practice in the carriage! (I highly recommend wearing a fluffy pink one for optimal twirl-ability!)
Now, Norwich. You might be thinking, "What could possibly entice Emma to a place like Norwich?" Well, my dears, it's a secret – but a secret I'm happy to share! This weekend, the Norwich Theatre Royal is hosting a very special performance, and you know I wouldn't miss it for the world. 🤫
This isn't just any ballet performance, darling. This is a night of pure theatrical brilliance - the story of 'Giselle,' a tragic yet beautiful ballet that tells the tale of a heartbroken peasant girl who turns into a ghostly woodland spirit. Now, I'm not going to spoil anything, but prepare yourself for some spectacular dancing, a plot that will leave you breathless, and costumes that are absolutely stunning. Oh, and I hear they have a magical woodland set! My favourite kind!
Before I go, I want to show you my absolutely delightful ensemble for this weekend's trip! A gorgeous baby pink tutu – you know my love for pink never fails to shine through – paired with a crisp white shirt, and a chunky, mustard-coloured cardigan. It's a bit of a vintage vibe with a touch of chic, and of course, the pink tutu is the perfect pop of colour!
And, you know I couldn't come to Norwich without finding a little bit of local flavour! On my way to the theatre, I discovered the most enchanting shop – it's a tiny, charming place filled with hand-painted porcelain figures. It's a treasure trove for collectors! I even spotted a delicate porcelain ballerina – absolutely irresistible, darling! Now I just have to find a place to display her. 🩰
My lovely Derbyshire family knows I adore wildlife, especially horses. Norwich isn't quite known for wild horses, but the locals are passionate about their donkeys! Today I saw an adorable donkey, all fluffy and grey, looking like it had just wandered off from a fairytale! Oh, the cuteness!
Speaking of cuteness, you know I have to mention my very special pink tutu-themed playlist for this weekend's adventure! I'm packing my headphones, a comfy pink cushion (I have to be comfortable on my travels!), and my absolute favourite playlist full of twirling-worthy tunes. From 'Sugar' by Maroon 5 to 'Born For This' by The Score – the perfect tunes to boost your confidence and unleash your inner ballerina! (I even have a hidden ballerina song in my playlist for my fellow tutu enthusiasts – see if you can spot it!).
Now, I must dash off to catch a glimpse of this magical show in Norwich. Stay tuned for my post-performance review and more Norwich delights! Until next time, darling!
