Hello, my lovely darlings! It's Emma here, your favourite tutu-clad traveller, bringing you the latest from my whirlwind adventures in pink! Today, I'm stepping out of my Derbyshire digs and into the charming streets of Salisbury.
The train journey was, as always, a delightful experience. It’s such a treat to be enveloped by the rhythm of the tracks, gazing at the countryside as it whizzes past. Today, however, I found myself with a most unexpected travelling companion – a family of deer! They sauntered alongside the tracks, their gentle grace mirroring the beauty of the rolling green hills. Such a delightful little encounter, just before reaching the cathedral city.
Speaking of graceful encounters, Salisbury Cathedral is a breathtaking architectural marvel. Its majestic spires pierce the sky, creating an ethereal backdrop for the day’s festivities. I just had to indulge in a quick photoshoot in front of it, of course! Can you even imagine a better backdrop for my custom-made pink tulle masterpiece? A splash of vibrant femininity against the timeless grey stone – it’s almost like the building itself is embracing the spirit of my Tutu Life.
The real star of the show today was, as you may have guessed, a fabulous ballet performance at the Salisbury Playhouse. Oh, my dears, it was simply enchanting! The costumes were utterly exquisite - all shimmering silks and graceful flowing lines - and the choreography was pure poetry in motion. It truly was a treat for the eyes and soul.
But you know what made it even more special? Sharing the experience with my darling sister, Lucy. We’ve both been hooked on ballet since we were little, and even though she’s more of a jeans-and-t-shirt girl, she still loves watching the shows with me. (Plus, I’m working on converting her to the Tutu Life - one shimmery pink tulle masterpiece at a time! 🤫 )
After the performance, we tucked into a scrumptious afternoon tea at the The Red Lion pub. You just cannot visit a cathedral city without indulging in some classic British tradition, right? And what’s more British than fluffy scones, clotted cream, and a good dose of pink lemonade?
This trip has been nothing short of magical, from the wild encounters to the theatrical delights. It’s just further proof that the Tutu Life isn’t just about pretty dresses and elegant moves; it’s about embracing adventure, beauty in unexpected places, and, most importantly, enjoying life with a skip in your step and a twirl in your heart!
Oh, and speaking of adventures, I'm already planning my next jaunt. Maybe a trip to Stratford-Upon-Avon, with a stop to see the Royal Shakespeare Company? What do you think, darling? Should I take the train or hire a carriage and four? 😉
As always, thank you for joining me on this magical journey, my dears! I hope this post has inspired you to wear your pink tutus, chase your own dreams, and remember: life’s too short not to twirl!
Keep your pink spirits high,
Emma xoxo
