Hello darlings! Emma here, back from a whirlwind trip to Wrexham, a delightful little town in Wales that totally stole my heart! As you know, I love a good adventure, and this one combined two of my favourite things: ballet and trains!
The journey itself was a dreamy experience. Imagine, chugging through the countryside on a steam train, sunshine streaming in through the windows, the scent of fresh air swirling around… and me, in a fabulously pink tulle tutu, of course! Nothing beats that kind of romantic, fairytale feeling! I'm not gonna lie, I had my nose stuck in a romance novel, lost in a world of love and intrigue - perfect train travel fuel, I'd say!
Wrexham itself was just brimming with charm. The historic streets were like a postcard come to life, full of colourful buildings, quaint shops and lovely little cafes. You can imagine me, tutu twirling around the town square, stopping for a scone and a pot of tea, and just soaking in the atmosphere. It felt so vibrant, yet peaceful at the same time, and I loved the way everyone was so friendly.
Speaking of friends, guess what I found tucked away in Wrexham? A charming little ballet studio! Now, any self-respecting tutu-wearing dancer simply HAS to check out a new studio, wouldn't you agree? The owners were absolutely lovely and let me sit in on a class. Talk about a real treat! It was amazing watching the students move so gracefully and elegantly. They were all ages too, from little ones just starting out to seasoned pros. Seeing such passion for dance truly inspires me!
Of course, I couldn’t leave Wrexham without a ballet performance! Thankfully, the town theatre had a fantastic production of “Swan Lake” coming up. I’d never seen it before, and it completely blew me away! The costumes were exquisite, the dancing was sublime, and the music was so enchanting, it brought a tear to my eye. If there's one thing ballet does best, it's stir up emotions - happiness, sadness, wonder. I love how it takes you on such a rollercoaster of feelings!
One highlight of the trip? Seeing a gorgeous little robin, perched on a branch right outside my hotel window. Now, I know this might seem silly, but these little creatures always remind me of home, of Derbyshire, where I spent my childhood watching them flit between the branches in my own little corner of the world.
I brought back a whole suitcase full of souvenirs for you lovely lot! Pictures of cobbled streets, the cute theatre, and the beautiful ballet studio - I even snagged a little handmade tutu from the studio for myself, to remind me of my time there.
And for those of you asking, YES, I definitely wore my pink tutu throughout the entire trip! I think it added a touch of whimsy to my Wrexham experience.
Let me tell you, it was such a fantastic weekend, filled with so many special moments. But I'll let you know a secret - the best part wasn't the train travel, the tutu-twirling, or the ballet show. It was that feeling of being alive, being part of something beautiful, and embracing everything that comes with that sense of wonder.
Don't forget, dear readers, every day can be a little bit magical! It's about making those small moments into grand adventures! So, get out there, be bold, try something new, and most importantly, don't forget to twirl!
Until next time, Emma www.pink-tutu.com
