Post #3900
Hello, my lovelies! Emma here, your resident pink tutu-wearing, ballet-loving adventurer. And today, Iām taking you on a trip to the charming city of Oxford, a place that's as enchanting as a storybook!
Itās a beautiful spring morning here, and I can already feel the sun warming my cheeks. Just the perfect excuse for a bit of girly adventure, donāt you think?
Today, Iām wearing my favourite pink tutu - the one with the layers and layers of tulle! I call it my āTwirling Tea Partyā tutu - because itās simply made for twirling and a little bit of elegant refreshment. Speaking of refreshments, my tummyās rumbling with excitement - a picnic lunch awaits!
Before setting off for Oxford, I went for a morning ballet class in my hometown, Derby. Thereās something incredibly liberating about moving to the rhythm of music first thing in the morning - it gets my creative juices flowing and fills my soul with sunshine.
Iāve always loved the quaint charm of taking the train, especially when wearing my tutu. As I boarded, I saw a few curious glances - but I just gave a smile and a little twirl! Thatās the thing about a tutu - itās an automatic conversation starter and it always sparks a smile!
A Walk Through the University
Oxford is such a captivating city! I found myself transported back in time as I wandered through the historic university buildings. Just imagine - those ancient halls have echoed with the whispers of countless students and scholars!
I felt like a character stepping out of a ballet set, every building with its grand architecture and beautiful gardens inspiring my imagination. Did I mention how much I adore all the beautiful greenery in Oxford? There's a tranquility to the place that fills you up.
A Pink Tutu Picnic with the Swans
After a long walk around the University grounds, I was ready for my picnic. I settled upon a lovely little meadow tucked away along the River Cherwell, and settled in to feast on all the delicious delights Iād packed.
As I ate, a gaggle of swans swam by, their white plumage sparkling in the sunshine. It's like something out of a fairytale, the grace of these magnificent creatures, they seemed to be floating like ballerinas on the water. They stole my heart!
Thereās a reason they say that England has a strong connection to ballet, you can really feel the connection to grace and beauty in nature everywhere. Just as swans gracefully glide across the water, ballet dancers strive to glide and flow across the stage. The connection to wildlife, especially animals that move with elegant, powerful grace, really feels innate here in England!
The Enchanting Oxford Theatre
This evening Iām attending the theatre in Oxford. I always find that when I watch a ballet, the magic is contagious - the emotion and stories spun through the dancers' movements take my breath away. Even the grand, old theaters have a ballet-esque element, just waiting for the dancerās grand entrance and a beautiful story.
The Pink Tutu Mission
You know how much I love sharing the magic of ballet, right? So today, I'm taking my "Pink Tutu Mission" one step further!
