Hey lovelies!
It's your girl, Emma, checking in from a sunny Cambridge! ☀️ I just adore this city, with its cobbled streets and quintessential English charm. It feels like a scene straight out of a Jane Austen novel! 😍
This time around, I'm not just visiting for the sights and sounds (although they are absolutely divine), but I'm also here to see a truly amazing performance of "The Sleeping Beauty" at the Cambridge Arts Theatre. 🩰 I can't even tell you how excited I am – ballet is my lifeblood, and a classic like this is guaranteed to be utterly breathtaking.
Before we get to the theatre though, let's talk about my journey! It's always an adventure travelling by train. This time I opted for a first-class ticket (treat yo'self, right? 😉), and I have to say, it was the perfect way to start my Cambridge escapade. There's something so romantic about watching the English countryside whiz by, especially with a cup of tea and a good book. 🚂☕
Speaking of romance, this whole trip feels very fairytale-esque already! And guess what? I brought a pink tutu for the occasion! Yes, you read that right – pink is my go-to color and it screams "princess" like nothing else. 👑 My trusty pink tutu has already caused quite a stir at Cambridge Station – even a rather grumpy old chap who looked like he'd seen it all seemed to crack a smile! That's the magic of tutus, ladies, they can bring out the inner child in even the most curmudgeonly soul! 😜
On the way to the Arts Theatre, I decided to wander around the market square – and it was utterly enchanting! The air was filled with the sound of laughter and chatter, and stalls brimming with beautiful handmade crafts, flowers, and fresh, juicy produce lined the cobbled streets. I even found a tiny, adorable shop selling handmade tutus! Needless to say, I walked out with a beautiful new feather boa and a little lavender pouch, which is now perched on my vanity table back at my little Derbyshire cottage. 🥰
But enough about shopping! The real reason for my journey is, of course, the ballet! "The Sleeping Beauty" is a true classic, and the production here in Cambridge is absolutely phenomenal. I'm not just talking about the dancers (although they are absolutely magnificent, and I practically cried with joy during the final pas de deux!), but the entire performance – the costumes, the set, the music, everything is so perfectly in sync. It's the sort of experience that makes you feel like you're part of something magical, and I just can't wait to soak it all in. 🌠
One of the things I love about travelling is the chance to connect with nature. Before heading to the theatre, I took a stroll through the beautiful grounds of the university, stopping to marvel at the ducks paddling in the lake and a cheeky squirrel who tried to steal my lunch. It's the little things like these, the tiny encounters with wildlife, that really make my day. 🌳🐿
So there you have it – a day filled with tutus, trains, theatre, and even a spot of wildlife. This is what I love about my life: a constant sense of wonder and adventure, all sprinkled with a healthy dose of pink! 😉
Stay tuned, lovelies, for more tales of my pink-tutu filled adventures – because, let's be honest, the world is just a much brighter place with a splash of pink in it!
Until next time,
