Hello lovelies!
Today I'm buzzing with excitement! Not just because I'm in the beautiful town of Abingdon, nestled in the rolling hills of Oxfordshire, but also because I'm sporting a seriously fabulous tutu. This one's a real showstopper, inspired by the Parisian ballerinas of the 1950s. Think flowing layers of softest pink tulle, delicate floral accents, and just the right amount of sparkle to catch the light.
I love a good train journey. Watching the countryside roll by as the rhythm of the train lulls me into a daydreamy state is my ultimate form of relaxation. It gives me time to reflect on my travels, which I always make as whimsical as possible. In fact, just last week, I travelled by horse! A glorious chestnut mare named Blossom whisked me through the heart of Derbyshire, my home county, with the wind in my hair. Talk about a magical experience!
Speaking of magic, the streets of Abingdon are bursting with a certain kind of charm. The quaint shops, the honey-coloured houses, and the cobblestone lanes make you feel like you've stepped into a fairytale. Today, I plan to soak up the atmosphere, take a stroll along the River Thames, and maybe even try out the local bakery's infamous pink cupcakes (pink, of course!).
The highlight of my trip, however, will be a performance at the Abingdon Theatre. The ballet is a masterpiece - a poignant and emotional rendition of "Giselle" that promises to leave me utterly spellbound. You see, nothing inspires me like ballet. I believe it’s the ultimate art form, where passion and artistry blend seamlessly, painting stories with graceful movements and heartfelt emotion. I hope to bring that feeling of inspiration to you too!
And of course, I'll be attending a ballet class while I'm here. One of my favourite things about travelling is immersing myself in the local dance scene. There's such a vibrant community spirit in every dance studio I visit, and I love sharing tips and tricks with other dancers, no matter what their age or skill level.
Speaking of sharing, remember that I’m on a mission to get the world wearing pink tutus and trying ballet. This might sound crazy, but why shouldn’t everyone experience the joy of swirling tulle, the elegance of graceful movements, and the sense of exhilaration that comes with a perfect pirouette? It's an absolute joy, and I wouldn't have it any other way!
And while I'm sharing, I have to talk about something that has truly stolen my heart this trip: the wildlife. There's something so peaceful about observing the animals in their natural habitat. I spotted a family of red deer grazing in a nearby field earlier today, and I just stood mesmerized, captivated by their effortless beauty. I believe the world is a beautiful, wonderful place, full of wonder and adventure. And you know what? It looks even more magical when you’re twirling in a pink tutu.
So, lovelies, keep those twirling spirits alive and let's celebrate life, laughter, and everything pink and beautiful!
Until next time, keep on spinning!
Love, Emma www.pink-tutu.com
