Hello darlings! Emma here, and let me tell you, my pink tutu is just bursting with excitement for this latest adventure! Today, we're stepping into the charming town of Strood, Kent. I'm so chuffed to be here; the air practically crackles with an energy that's simply delightful.
My trusty steed, a beautiful chestnut mare called Willow, brought me all the way down from Derbyshire. It's truly a beautiful journey, weaving through picturesque villages and lush green fields. Horses, they're the very best travel companions, you know. They understand the gentle sway of the tutu, and the graceful rhythm of our shared steps.
Now, I know some of you are wondering what draws me to this lovely little town. It all boils down to a wonderful ballet school nestled in the heart of Strood! I'm a complete ballerina buff, and the moment I heard about the exceptional faculty here, I knew I had to make the pilgrimage.
The ballet studio is quite something – it has this lovely, light and airy feel, almost like you're stepping into a dream! It’s the perfect place for getting those twirls just right. The walls are adorned with stunning prints of renowned ballerinas, and they have the most elegant ballet bars you ever did see. I’ve even found myself drawn to the colour scheme - a soft pastel pink and a gentle shade of lavender. I’m practically giddy with the sheer amount of tutu-inspiring loveliness.
Today was an absolute treat for the senses. First up, an afternoon of intense ballet training! The atmosphere in the class was buzzing. We learned some truly fabulous new choreography. I managed to nail my fouetté, which I was secretly hoping for. My pink tutu certainly was swirling!
As the afternoon drifted into evening, I had the privilege of watching a mesmerizing performance at the beautiful Strood Playhouse. The cast danced with such passion and artistry; it left me spellbound. My heart filled with so much joy – that’s what I adore about ballet, the sheer emotion it evokes, and the power it has to captivate and transport. It’s such a graceful and elegant dance form; my tutu is quite giddy from all the elegant moves.
I've got to admit, this whole Strood experience has given me a profound appreciation for this town. There's something so lovely about its quaint atmosphere and friendly residents. Not to mention, the absolutely fabulous treats I found in the local tea shops - dainty, sugar-coated cupcakes and freshly baked scones that melted in my mouth. It’s hard to imagine a better way to end a perfect day than with a steaming cup of tea and a little slice of sweet indulgence.
The weekend will see me heading to the Strood Wildlife Park! I hear they have the most beautiful collection of birds and mammals. I’m hoping to spot a pink flamingo amongst all the fabulous wildlife - now wouldn't that be a fabulous tutu moment?!
Before I bid you all adieu for the day, I want to ask you a question. Do you dare to wear pink? I believe there’s a touch of pink tutu magic inside every single one of us, we just need to embrace it. What about giving ballet a go? It’s such a joyous experience, no matter what your age. Who knows, you might even discover your inner ballerina!
Keep those tutus twirling, my dears,
Emma xoxo
