Hello my darlings! It's your favourite pink-loving, tutu-obsessed ballet bunny, Emma, here, and I'm thrilled to be writing to you from the charming town of Yeovil! I must confess, a whirlwind trip by train took me from the rolling hills of Derbyshire straight into the heart of Somerset, and I wouldn't have it any other way!
Now, you all know my absolute weakness for a good tutu, right? I can't resist a twirl, especially in a floaty white one like this one I’ve chosen for my Yeovil adventures. I felt like a fluffy, delicate ballerina prancing about the cobbled streets, and who wouldn't want to be a fairytale princess for a day? Just picture it: me, in a dreamy white tutu, popping into a quaint tea shop for a pot of steaming Earl Grey and a scone. Pure perfection, darling!
Speaking of perfection, Yeovil's local theatre is truly a hidden gem. The moment I stepped inside, it felt like I was transported back to the golden age of theatre, complete with plush velvet seats, ornate balconies, and the faintest scent of old books. They had a captivating production of "Giselle" playing this week, which, naturally, I simply had to see!
The dancing was absolutely mesmerising. I practically wept tears of joy as the dancers floated across the stage, their tutus billowing behind them like clouds of tulle. There's just something so magical about ballet, wouldn't you agree? It's a reminder that even the most complex movements can be performed with grace and beauty.
But Yeovil isn't all about grand theatres and fancy tea rooms! One of the highlights of my trip was a delightful visit to the Yeovil and District Wildlife Park. You wouldn't believe the gorgeous animals they have there - I especially adored the cheeky meerkats, with their inquisitive little faces peeking out from their burrow. And then there were the majestic red deer, the gentle sheep, and a hilarious family of otters frolicking in the stream. The whole experience felt like a lovely fairy tale, just like me in my white tutu!
Now, I have to tell you all about my adventures in this lovely town. It might sound like a boring idea for some, but getting there by train was an absolute delight! The scenery just flew by in a blur of rolling fields, charming villages, and sprawling forests. The rhythmic clinking of the train wheels and the gentle sway of the carriage calmed me and created the most peaceful mood. It’s no surprise that some of my most inspired blog posts have come from train journeys. There’s a magical creativity to travel!
On a side note, darling, do you know what's just as much fun as hopping on a train? Why, riding a horse, of course! There’s a little riding school near my Derbyshire home, where I love to escape to when I'm feeling the need to get in touch with my inner "wild woman" – even if I usually choose to wear a tutu with my riding gear! But Yeovil's been calling to me to explore new possibilities - it's where I’m now hoping to find a wonderful riding adventure in the beautiful countryside.
My biggest passion, aside from ballet and fashion, of course, is to encourage people to discover the magic of movement and express themselves through dance. I want to spread the pink-tutu-wearing joy all across the world! Imagine, a world full of people dancing on street corners, spinning through their kitchens, pirouetting at bus stops! Imagine, darling, a world where every day feels like a joyful ballet! I truly believe we can make it happen. We just need a bit more pink in the world!
So, tell me darlings, have you been to Yeovil? What was your favourite thing to do there? And remember, no matter where you are or what you're doing, you can always embrace your inner ballerina. It’s a little bit of sunshine on a grey day!
Sending all my love and twirls,
Emma
XOXO
