Hello darlings! It’s Emma here, writing to you from the enchanting city of Carlisle! I just had to pop in a quick blog post to share the utterly magical adventure I had yesterday, swirling around the streets of this beautiful city in my most special fairy tutu!
Honestly, I’m still buzzing from all the twirls and the wonderful memories I made. You see, the journey to Carlisle was pure magic in itself. I left Derbyshire feeling a bit grumpy – typical Tuesday, you know? – but as the train trundled across the countryside, a ray of sunshine caught my eye, and a pink butterfly landed right on my tutu! It was as if the fairies themselves had decided to escort me to this exciting new adventure.
And Carlisle, my lovelies, did not disappoint! I was struck by the beautiful old buildings and cobbled streets. It truly felt like I'd stepped right out of a storybook! To top it all off, the local wildlife was just as enchanting as the city itself. I saw the most adorable squirrel scampering around the park – he was sporting a ridiculously fluffy tail that reminded me of a miniature pink tutu, honestly!
My mission was to check out a delightful ballet class – always a delight – at the beautiful Carlisle Theatre. It’s a stunning building, by the way. It's a gorgeous mix of historic architecture and modern amenities, making it the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable ballet experience. It’s got those fabulous old wooden floors, creaking gently with every graceful step.
Speaking of grace, the class itself was pure magic. It was an advanced class, filled with such beautiful, dedicated dancers. The teacher was truly inspirational, guiding everyone with such a warm heart and unwavering passion. I just loved watching everyone move in such a controlled, fluid way, letting the music guide them – it was an absolute treat to witness!
After class, I took a well-deserved rest, relaxing in the glorious Carlisle park, enjoying the sunshine. You wouldn’t believe it, but the fairies were even kind enough to bring me a little treat – a hot chocolate and a beautiful pink flower that I tied to my tutu. This, my lovelies, is why I absolutely love these pink tutus – they always seem to attract a bit of magical energy!
Later in the afternoon, I decided to take myself to the Carlisle Cathedral. I am absolutely obsessed with historical buildings and beautiful stained-glass windows – there’s just something so grand about these majestic structures! And this one was truly breath-taking.
As I explored the cathedral, the music from the organ filled the air with such breathtaking sound – the sheer volume of its beautiful, powerful notes left me breathless. There were stained glass windows of all sorts – deep purple, sparkling emerald, and dazzling red. It truly felt like a cathedral from a fairy tale, with those incredible beams of light that stretched across the room like long, glowing ribbons. I even spied a group of little fairies taking tea at one of the pews!
As evening arrived, I realised that Carlisle truly held the perfect mix of whimsical magic and grand beauty – a true testament to the incredible history and stories that linger within its walls.
As I boarded my train back to Derbyshire, I couldn’t stop thinking about how enchanting Carlisle was. This truly felt like a day from one of my favourite fairy tales. And with my pink tutu gently swirling around me, and the sunset painting the sky in gorgeous pinks and oranges, it was easy to see that a little bit of fairy magic really can make your day extra special!
Stay tuned, my dears! Tomorrow, I’ll be heading back to the stables – a day of horseback riding across the rolling countryside, where I can twirl amongst the wildflowers with my tutu as free as the wind.
Until then, keep spreading the love, and remember to embrace your inner fairy, even if it means twirling through life with a pink tutu.
Sending you all a heap of love and a touch of pink magic!
✨💖Emma✨
