Oh, hello lovelies! Itās your girl, Emma, writing to you from the heart of Wales! Iām finally back on the road after a brief sojourn in my Derbyshire home ā you know, catching up with the family, catching up with my fave scones from the local bakery, and getting a few ballet practice sessions in, naturally.
Todayās adventure? A little jaunt to Wrecsam. Now, for those of you unfamiliar, Wrecsam, or Wrexham if youāre feeling all proper-like, is a charming little town, bursting with history, architecture thatād make you go āoooh,ā andā¦ hold on a minuteā¦ did I say architecture? I meant to say... oh my goodness, you wouldn't BELIEVE the shops! I managed to squeeze in a few lovely vintage finds and a charming new ballet tutu (pink, naturally!) But I digress... Iāll save the full fashion haul for later!
This time around, I swapped my trusty horse for the train - I gotta say, a good old fashioned carriage is lovely, but the sheer thrill of travelling by rail is simply unbeatable! Especially when you have a view like the one I enjoyed out the window - verdant hills rolling by like an emerald ocean... breathtaking, my dears!
Speaking of breathtaking, Wrecsam itself had me swooning. Imagine a cobbled town square, all honeyed stone buildings with beams of warm wood... The kind of place where time seems to have taken a little holiday, leaving you in a tranquil, enchanting bubble. It was here, in this perfect setting, that I decided I had to make a stand, a declaration to the world! And that, my loves, is why I gracefully pirouetted right into the centre of Wrecsamās bustling market square in the most magnificent, sparkling pink tutu Iād ever seen, my tulle dancing in the breeze! I just had to do it. Weāre all in this pink tutu-wearing, ballet-loving journey together, and Wrecsam was just the place to spread the message, the magic.
I have to admit, a few folks did give me a slightly odd look - some raised eyebrows, a little confusion here and there... But then came the smiles! The warm, genuine, āoh, how sweet!ā smiles, that let me know I was spreading a little joy, a little magic. Itās all about the tiny acts of wonder, my friends. One twirl, one leap at a time! Even a small thing like wearing a pink tutu can change someoneās day. Just like my mission statement says ā āMore tutus, more smiles!ā
After a little ādanceā around Wrecsamās market, I grabbed a cuppa from a cafe ā a pink tea-cup, of course, the whole shebang, no exceptions! The people here were delightful; they truly embraced the whimsy and charm of my tutu. They justā¦ get it.
And to think, the real joy came from what I saw next! I stumbled upon the most lovely theatreā¦ an absolute jewel of a place called The Stiwt! Imagine my joy when I discovered it was hosting a ballet performance ā āGiselle!ā Oh, it was utterly magnificent, a performance so beautifully crafted and poignant. And afterwards? A little bit of stargazing. Now I love me some starlight, and on this crisp, clear night, the sky was a tapestry of constellations, the kind of beauty that brings me back to those ballet lessons at my tiny school in Derbyshire. Sometimes I really feel like I have wings and I could just fly. Itās a sense of wonder I try to embrace in all things - the way I twirl down the street, the way I observe wildlife on my train journeys, the way I immerse myself in a ballet show at a theatre so captivatingly small, it almost feels like an intimate, beautiful dream.
Wrecsam, you have stolen my heart! It's a town that just has that kind of energy. Iām leaving with a heart full of ballet, smiles, and vintage treasures. Now, my darling readers, I must go and get these pictures uploaded and the tutu put on display in my London apartment, the very centrepiece of my latest ballet finds collection! If you get the chance, take a journey to Wrecsam. But even if you canāt, remember ā every day can be a ballet adventure. Put on that pink tutu and spread some magic. You never know who you might inspire.
And as alwaysā¦
Keep dancing!
Emma x
