Hello my gorgeous ballet bunnies! 🐰 It's your girl Emma here, writing to you from the beautiful town of Llanelli in Wales. This place has seriously captured my heart with its charm and warmth. Think quaint little shops bursting with colour, cobblestone streets perfect for twirling in your tutu (more on that later), and pubs with the most scrumptious Welsh cakes you've ever tasted! 🧁
I got here after a delightful train journey – there's just something magical about chugging along in a carriage, watching the world whizz by. It's even better when you have your favourite book, a cup of tea, and a little pink tutu to accessorize! 😉
Now, you know me, I can't travel anywhere without my trusty pink tutu. It's my signature, my second skin, my little bit of magic sprinkled over the world. So, of course, I donned my most fabulous pink tulle creation (it's a limited edition, if you're asking) for a stroll through Llanelli's stunning parkland. Let's just say, the swans seemed positively jealous of my frothy fabulousness. 🦢
The park itself is an absolute gem! Think sprawling green spaces, manicured gardens blooming with flowers in a riot of colours, and even a lake where I saw the cutest ducklings paddling about! I spent a happy afternoon basking in the sunshine, surrounded by nature's beauty and, of course, sporting my tutu. 🦆
The best part? A little girl came running up to me, eyes wide with wonder. She couldn't believe I was actually wearing a tutu in the park! And, in her adorable lisp, she asked me if she could try twirling in it too! 🥺 I nearly melted! We had the most glorious time, giggling and twirling around like little ballerinas. That's the joy of tutus, isn't it? They unleash the child within!
But speaking of ballet, Llanelli didn't disappoint! They have the most wonderful community dance centre, and I spent the afternoon immersed in the graceful world of ballet. We were working on a contemporary piece set to the haunting score of "Swan Lake" – a true masterpiece! And, believe me, my pink tutu looked simply stunning in the warm lighting of the dance studio. ✨
After a whirlwind day, I treated myself to a traditional Welsh dinner – lots of local lamb, roasted vegetables, and a comforting, creamy mashed potato. I just had to top it all off with a slice of that scrumptious Welsh cake I mentioned before. My, it was delightful! But the highlight of the evening? Well, a chance encounter with the sweetest local lady who simply had to tell me all about the history of Llanelli! I'm such a sucker for history – it always adds so much depth to my travels! And let me tell you, this place has a story!
The most fascinating fact? Llanelli has a very strong connection to the ballet world! Can you believe it? Apparently, there's a thriving ballet scene here, with schools and performances taking place all year round. Just goes to show, even in the most unexpected of places, ballet magic lives on!
Of course, my trip wouldn't be complete without sharing the magic with you. I've created a special vlog detailing my day – you can find it on www.pink-tutu.com. I'll give you a sneak peek of my dance routine, my journey by train, the swan-tastic park, and, of course, the incredible moment with that little girl! 💖
As I write this, I'm looking out of my hotel window at the setting sun, casting a warm, pink glow over the town. And guess what? Even the clouds above seem to be wearing a pink tutu! 😂 It's moments like these that remind me that the world is a beautiful, magical place – a canvas just waiting for us to paint with our own style and creativity.
So, until next time, remember my darlings – let your tutus be your wings, your dreams your fuel, and never forget the joy of a little bit of pink! 💓
Love,
Emma
