Helloooo my lovely Tutu-Twirlers!
It's Emma here, and guess what? Today, I'm feeling totally fabulous because I'm in Hitchin, Hertfordshire! You know how much I adore a good train journey, especially when it involves exploring a new town, and this trip certainly didn't disappoint.
Now, if you're thinking I just threw on my trusty pink tutu and boarded the train without a thought (which, let's be honest, is always a possibility), you'd be partly right. BUT, I actually took a little extra effort today because Hitchin is famous for its American-style tutus! Oh, the tulle, the fluffy layers, the pure, whimsical joy!
Picture this: the sunshine dappling through the trees, the aroma of freshly baked bread drifting from a little bakery on the corner (a bit like the opening scene of a delightful rom-com!), and me, twirling with utter delight in a cloud of pink and shimmering fabric. It's enough to make any tutu lover swoon!
But first, I had to ride there! Yes, you heard me right - I indulged in my favourite form of transportation, the trusty steed! I saddled up at dawn, with the morning dew clinging to the grass and the birds singing their sweet songs. A picture of peace and serenity! Then, after a delightful ride through the countryside, I caught the train to Hitchin. This really was the perfect way to start the day!
As I arrived, I knew immediately that Hitchin was going to be a treat for my soul. There were quirky shops with displays of brightly coloured fabrics, little cafes overflowing with floral arrangements, and, of course, the ever-present, tantalizing scent of more freshly baked bread! The streets were so pretty and bustling with people, each one brimming with character and cheer.
Oh, and speaking of character, have I mentioned the amazing wildlife I encountered in the local park? This squirrel, right, he was absolutely the cutest! Imagine a little fluffy ball of orange and brown, with those beady black eyes and his twitching nose. He was hopping around like a tiny ballerina, gathering nuts, and he even gave me the most mischievous wink before dashing up a tree!
As you can probably tell, I am already utterly charmed by this lovely town. Now, if you are with me on this journey, let's explore a bit deeper...
My Top Tutu-tastic Recommendations for Hitchin
The Hitchin Lavender Fields: Who wouldn't adore a field of vibrant lavender, blooming beautifully under the English sky? It’s simply enchanting. I highly recommend a visit. The scent itself will lift your spirits!
The Priory Museum: Immerse yourself in the rich history of this town, with its charming exhibits. You can even spot an ancient Saxon grave, which is so intriguing, especially to a lover of stories like me.
Hitchin Town Park: A lovely, relaxing place to relax, wander, or even do some light ballet practice, of course! There's also a fantastic playground for all those tutu-twirling tots (and their parents!).
The Sun Hotel: This gorgeous building (picture charming cobblestone streets and Tudor architecture!) has an array of delectable eats and a friendly atmosphere that's simply divine. I mean, after all that walking and dancing, we gotta fuel those twinkle toes!
