Oh my darling readers! It's Emma here, reporting live from the charming town of St Albans, and let me tell you, this little corner of Hertfordshire is a dream for a pink-tutu loving soul like myself!
This morning I boarded a charming, old-fashioned train straight from Derbyshire – a delightful jaunt through the English countryside that felt like a scene out of a Jane Austen novel! And arriving in St Albans felt like stepping into a fairytale! Cobblestone streets, gorgeous old buildings with pretty shops bursting with charm - and I could barely resist scooping up a delicious cup of pink candy floss ice cream (you know I’m all about that pink!).
This town is brimming with history, and my tutu travels simply had to include a trip to the Roman Verulamium Museum! Walking amidst ancient Roman ruins felt utterly magical, especially as I envisioned ballerinas dancing amidst those stone remnants – a perfectly artistic picture! The Romans definitely knew a thing or two about beauty and drama, don’t you think? It’s no surprise that ballet and Roman architecture inspire similar ideas about symmetry and elegance.
This evening, I treated myself to a beautiful performance at the stunning St Albans Cathedral. A world-renowned opera singer took the stage, and her voice soared like a ballerina's leap. Her voice simply captivated me - it brought me to tears at times! Her grace was magnificent – such beauty in movement!
The cathedral itself was spectacular. Imagine, my pink tutu twirling through those arches, the stained glass casting a symphony of colours, a dazzling performance fit for royalty! I may have been enthralled with the opera but I kept thinking, "What would it be like to perform here in my tutu?” I almost imagined a new style of ballet here!
Before the show, I indulged in a delicious cup of afternoon tea. The scones, the dainty sandwiches, the teapot with a pink floral design – absolutely divine! Everything was so elegant and whimsical, like a ballet tea party, except I was wearing a tutu with a delicate lace pattern – I couldn't resist! I really love how well tutus fit in with the elegant charm of vintage English traditions!
Of course, a trip to St Albans would not be complete without a visit to the beautiful Verulamium Park. The air is so fresh, the birds are singing beautifully (their sweet little tunes almost like a ballet score!) and I had to get my daily dose of nature – after all, what could be more beautiful than a field of wildflowers? It made me think of those graceful, dancing flower fairies.
While I was enjoying a stroll through the park, I met a very kind lady. She told me she loved my tutu and asked if she could take my photo! I felt like a model. Her compliments about my “pink-tutu lifestyle” and her admiration for ballet inspired me even more to spread my passion for pink and tutus all over the world. I believe every one has a dancer inside, and everyone should have a pink tutu to show it!
And here I am, ready to close another wonderful day of adventures in my tutu. Tomorrow I head off to London to soak up the city's cultural delights! My pink-tutu will shine on, and my blog will be overflowing with exciting new adventures. Stay tuned, darling readers!
And as always, remember: Every day is an opportunity to dance with a pink tutu! And a smile!
With love and twirls,
Emma
