Good morning darlings! ☀️ It's Emma here, writing to you live from the bustling streets of Westminster. As you can probably guess from the title, today's adventures involved a little yellow tutu and a whole lot of London charm.
I woke up feeling like I needed a bit of colour in my life, so I raided my tutu wardrobe and chose a sunshine yellow number. A real ray of light amongst the London grey! I'd even gone all out with a matching yellow headband, just to really complete the look. 😉
Since I was in the heart of the city, I decided to go for a wander around the Houses of Parliament. Honestly, they were just as grand in real life as they are in photos! Can you imagine twirling on those stone steps in your best ballet outfit? 👑 Maybe a bit too grand for my tutu-clad feet, but a girl can dream, can't she?
The day got even better when I spotted a group of buskers on the steps of Westminster Abbey. I was absolutely captivated by their performance! I found myself wanting to join them and kick up my heels, maybe even a little arabesque - but I knew I couldn't let go of that precious tutu! Instead, I treated myself to a lovely latte from a nearby cafe, enjoying the sweet melodies and the vibrant London buzz.
The rest of my day was all about exploring the nooks and crannies of Westminster. I popped into St. James's Park for a spot of people-watching and even stumbled upon a very friendly squirrel - definitely more approachable than the pigeons in Trafalgar Square! After a wander through Buckingham Palace Gardens, I decided it was time for a spot of culture.
Off I trotted to the Royal Opera House. Sadly, I wasn't seeing a ballet today, but I couldn't resist having a little peek inside this architectural beauty. Those intricate ceilings, those elegant chandeliers - truly breathtaking! And the red carpets, well, I just had to have a twirl, even if it was just for a few seconds. 🩰
One thing I absolutely love about being in London is the sense of history. You can feel the energy of all those wonderful characters from the past swirling around you. Maybe it's the city's energy, or maybe it's the yellow tutu (that colour is seriously powerful!), but I just couldn't resist slipping into a nearby park for some ballet inspiration.
And there, surrounded by the hushed silence of a forgotten corner of London, I lost myself in the music. I let my legs and my heart soar, I let the yellow tutu guide my steps, and for a glorious moment, I was dancing with the ghosts of ballets past. ✨
As the sun began to set, I knew it was time to head home. But before I did, I decided to make a pit stop at Covent Garden. A beautiful outdoor space full of delicious smells and twinkling lights. The perfect setting to catch a glimpse of the real-life ballet dancers doing their daily routines. It was incredible seeing the discipline and focus, the grace and power of their movement, all within such a casual setting. It was enough to make me want to rush off and join a class, a very, very urgent need!
That brings us to the end of another fantastic day. You'd be amazed by all the wonderful sights and adventures you can find tucked away in this incredible city. Remember, darlings, there's magic to be found in every corner. So don't be afraid to step outside your comfort zone, explore, get lost, and wear a pink tutu (or even a yellow one!), wherever life takes you!
Until next time, happy dancing! 🩰
Emma
