Oh darling, what a glorious day it's been! London, you are truly a sight for sore eyes, even for someone as spoiled as yours truly. I just had to share my adventures with you lovelies!
First things first: Pink. You all know how much I love pink, right? Well, my journey began with a splash of it, literally. As I was strolling through the streets (in a beautiful lilac frock and of course, my trusty pink tutu – never leave home without it!) I spotted the most delightful pink stall. I couldn't resist buying myself a bunch of fluffy pink hydrangeas. They just scream 'London chic'!
After that, my trusty steed (who I call "Ballerina" because she’s a lovely black mare who is truly a star - but who's counting!) whisked me to Covent Garden. Oh my, the sights and sounds! I nearly danced in the streets when I saw the buskers! The energy was incredible. The market is just bursting with charm and I even treated myself to a beautiful hand-painted fan. It's like stepping back in time, except with better fashion sense (if I may say so!).
But this was a ballet-themed day, darlings!
So, we trotted off to the Royal Opera House. The ballet itself was absolutely breathtaking! They were performing Swan Lake and oh my, the elegance and emotion... I was simply speechless! You just had to be there to feel the magic. My darling ballerina even took me backstage where I managed to steal a quick snap with the leading ballerina. It’s now proudly displayed on my mantlepiece at home.
Then, it was time for ballet class at the prestigious Sadler's Wells Theatre! I was a little intimidated at first, you know? But those fantastic instructors really brought the fun! I swear I was practically floating on air as we went through our pliés and pirouettes.
The best part? They all loved my tutu!
Honestly, I've learned something from all this ballet dancing and theatre-going: It's so much fun to get out of your comfort zone, darling. Whether it's trying a new class or going somewhere unfamiliar, it can really open your eyes and make you feel truly alive.
And talking of getting out of your comfort zone, has anyone tried my new challenge? "One Week of Pink!" Yes, you heard me right. Wear a splash of pink for an entire week! You'd be amazed by how a simple splash of pink can uplift your mood and add a bit of joy to your everyday routine. Don't be afraid to let your pink flag fly!
Now, a word on wildlife, which is, of course, another passion of mine! Even in a concrete jungle like London, I managed to find some furry friends. As I strolled through Regent's Park, I was captivated by the magnificent swans and the playful squirrels. You know, it really reminds me of the Derbyshire countryside. And don’t forget, a touch of wildlife really gives your wardrobe a special touch. So darling, take a look in your local park or nature reserve, you never know what magical creatures you may find!
In a nutshell, London truly has something for everyone. The beauty of the architecture, the vibrancy of the streets, the energy of the theatre, and of course, a touch of wildlife. But the thing that really captivated me was the sheer joy of dancing and the feeling of being truly free in the air, tutu and all. I really hope you’re inspired to go try ballet yourselves!
Remember, a little bit of pink goes a long way!
