Helloooo darlings!
It's your favourite pink-loving, tutu-twirling, ballet-obsessed blogger, Emma, back with another post from the road! This time, I'm writing to you from the charming town of Consett, nestled amidst the rolling hills of County Durham. You might be thinking, "Consett? Isn't that a bit, well, far?" But let me tell you, my dears, this trip has been absolutely glorious!
After a thrilling journey on the train (and yes, I was definitely rocking my fluffy pink tutu on board - couldn't let my signature look stay hidden!), I was met with a scene that was practically ripped straight from a Jane Austen novel. Imagine cobblestone streets lined with charming tea shops, little independent boutiques filled with treasures, and even a proper horse-drawn carriage for the extra touch of old-world romance! Oh, the magic!
Now, you might be wondering, what took a ballet-obsessed girl like myself all the way to Consett? Well, the answer is simple: the ballet! You see, dear readers, there was a marvelous performance taking place at the local theatre. And who could possibly resist a chance to watch a spectacular show in such a charming setting? Not this girl, I can tell you!
The show was absolutely divine. The dancers were so talented, with incredible leaps and pirouettes that left my jaw dropping (and I've seen my fair share of jaw-dropping moves, believe me!). But it wasn't just the artistry that impressed me - the story itself was utterly captivating, filled with heart-wrenching moments and moments of pure, unadulterated joy.
And, as if the ballet wasn't enough to make my heart flutter, I also discovered the most adorable little wildlife sanctuary just outside town. Imagine a peaceful little haven filled with fluffy sheep, playful goats, and the most delightful ducks you've ever seen! I spent ages feeding them delicious, healthy treats (I don't believe in giving them junk food, darlings - it's important to be mindful of our furry friends).
But what's a trip to Consett without a little shopping, eh? I managed to score a gorgeous new pair of ballet flats (pink, of course!) at a sweet little shop tucked away in a back street. I know I have a ridiculous amount of ballet flats, but how can a girl resist a beautiful pair, especially when they're as chic as these beauties!
And to finish off my dreamy day, I indulged in a truly delectable afternoon tea at a cosy little tearoom, surrounded by lovely floral china. Let's just say, I couldn't resist having a little piece of Victoria sponge cake for the second time that day - it was just that delicious!
Speaking of delicious, dear readers, my next post will be a real treat! I'll be sharing some of my favourite healthy and delightful pink recipes - perfect for keeping those pink-tutu-wearing bodies fuelled! Stay tuned for some exciting pink food adventures, and don't forget to visit www.pink-tutu.com for daily inspiration and, of course, my latest blog posts.
Until then, darlings, keep twirling, keep dreaming, and remember: life is too short to be anything but pink!
XOXO,
Emma
