Hey gorgeous girlies! It’s your Tutu Queen Emma here, back with another dose of pink-tutu-fied travel fun! 🩰
This week, I swapped the rolling Derbyshire hills for the… erm… flat, flat, flat Thames Valley. Yes, darling, it’s Slough! Not exactly the capital of fashion, but who says a tutu can’t rock the suburbs?
The journey down was as delightful as ever! As usual, I couldn’t resist squeezing in a trip on the trusty East Midlands Trains, you know, just to catch up with those comfy carriage seats and those beautiful scenery views. Though, this time, instead of sheep in fields, I was treated to a rather amusing view of, well, Slough! (Don’t worry, lovelies, I’m not one to judge! I’ve seen worse.) 😉
The reason for my foray into the, shall we say, less-fashionable-famed town was for something very exciting! It wasn’t a high-class ballet performance (though that’s definitely in the pipeline), no, it was something a bit more intimate. A ballet class! Can you believe it? In Slough, no less!
Now, you might be thinking, "Emma, Slough? Seriously? Ballet?" But darling, remember my mission: To get everyone in the world wearing a pink tutu and dancing like a dream. One town, one ballet class at a time! 💖 And this was my first step in the right direction.
My little class at the rather charming, if slightly outdated, 'Slough Dance Studios' was a real treat! It’s crazy, isn’t it? Sometimes the most wonderful adventures are found in the most unexpected places! My tutu-clad self got a great workout (those barre exercises are no joke!) and made some truly wonderful new friends! (Plus, let's be real, you can’t go wrong with a good, sweat-inducing ballet class.)
After class, my fellow ballet babes and I decided to head out for some delicious, light, ballet-appropriate snacks (we all had to stick to that healthy post-workout diet, darling!). And where else could you find such perfect, ballerina-approved treats? A tea room, naturally! We went to the absolutely adorable “Pip & Poppy's”, nestled inside a little courtyard tucked away from the main street. The air smelled of jasmine tea and honey cakes, and they had the cutest little selection of floral patterned teacups. It felt like we were stepping into one of those English-country-garden dreams, you know? Perfect for a little afternoon gossip about all things ballet, tutus, and all things pink.
Now, after my dance-filled adventure, and a rather excellent tea session with some amazing girls, I must say I have fallen head over heels for this place! It’s not about the place itself, darling, it’s about the spirit you bring. There's something so refreshingly real about seeing the unexpected in a seemingly ordinary place. You know, like seeing a beautiful tutu flitting past a group of startled office workers! It reminds you that magic exists everywhere, if you only look for it.
Anyway, lovelies, that’s my tale for today! It’s getting late, and my tutu-clad body is longing for some sleep! But remember: never be afraid to explore the unknown, never be afraid to wear a pink tutu, and never, ever be afraid to dance! 🩰
Love, kisses, and pink-tutu-fied wishes,
Emma 💋
