Post 4045
Helloooo lovelies! It’s Emma, your favourite tutu-wearing, pink-loving, ballet-obsessed blogger, coming at you live from sunny (well, maybe not sunny, but at least not raining!) Pinner! I’ve just hopped off a train after the most wonderful day out, and I'm bubbling with excitement to share every pink, twirling, galloping detail with you all!
From Derbyshire to Pinner: A Tutu-filled Train Journey
I woke up this morning with the birds singing their beautiful morning melody (they really do seem to have a particular fondness for my balcony, I think they're a fan of my pink floral wallpaper). It was already clear that this day was going to be special! I had decided to don my gorgeous black tulle tutu, its delicate layers dancing around my legs with every step I took. It’s a real statement piece, but it feels so effortlessly elegant at the same time – perfect for a day of exploring the London suburbs, and a fabulous reminder to myself that ballet isn't just for the stage.
I took the train down from Derbyshire to Pinner, a small town just north of London. I do love my train journeys – it’s such a calming and beautiful way to travel. I always bring a book, some music (usually classical to get me in the mood for ballet, of course!) and my favourite pink-trimmed notebook for jotting down all the ideas and inspiration that come flooding into my head when I'm on the move. This time, my travel companions were a family of ducks, serenading the passing countryside from a pond next to the tracks. They made for the most delightful travelling companions, reminding me to be in tune with nature and embrace the beauty of every journey!
The Grand Pinner Equestrian Centre: Horses, Ballet and a Dreamy Encounter
My final destination? The incredible Grand Pinner Equestrian Centre! Now, you may be thinking, "Emma, what does a ballet dancer have to do with horses?" Well, let me tell you – they’re like a ballet in their own right! The power, grace and elegance of these majestic animals completely captivates me. It’s like a ballet class with four hooves instead of two! I was hoping to get a glimpse of their daily routine, and perhaps even try a spot of horseback riding myself – after all, who says a tutu isn't suitable for riding a steed?!
It turned out to be the most fabulous day. Not only did I witness a ballet of horse-powered magic with my own eyes (and they even performed some impressive leaps and turns!), I got to meet the most beautiful mare – she was jet black with the most expressive eyes. We connected on an almost spiritual level. Her mane flowed like silk and her coat shone with a luxurious sheen. The owner even allowed me to touch her – and she gently nuzzled my hand as if she knew we were both in love with ballet, just in different ways! The pure joy and connection I felt that day, surrounded by horses and their devoted riders, was pure magic.
* Ballet Under the Stars: A Starry Night in Pinner*
After a magical time at the equestrian centre, I found myself on a picturesque country lane leading towards the heart of Pinner. I noticed a little theatre tucked away on a corner, looking quaint and charming. A sign caught my eye – a ballet performance under the stars! My inner ballerina screamed with excitement! There was something magical about seeing those graceful movements against a backdrop of twinkling stars. I even found myself reaching for my notebook to scribble down some thoughts – a new dance idea, perhaps? The graceful jumps and gentle fluidity of the dancers seemed to resonate with the moonlight, creating a perfect symphony of art and nature. It was exactly what my soul needed.
From Black Tutu to Pink Cocktails:
Now, after a perfect day filled with ballet, horses, and twinkling starlight, I'm back at the lovely little hotel I booked. It's filled with pink floral accents, just like my Derbyshire apartment, and I've got my favourite pink silk robe wrapped around me. I'm looking forward to a relaxing soak in the bath and a delicious pink cocktail – you're not truly experiencing a day like this without a bit of bubbly fun!
A Day of Twirling, Horses, and Dreams:
What a day! Every moment, every experience has filled me with joy, inspiration and the ever-growing feeling that anything is possible. I've learned so much about myself today, not to mention horses and the beautiful town of Pinner. One thing I know for sure: life is for living, exploring and experiencing every delightful thing it throws your way – all while rocking a fabulous tutu of course! If a tutu-wearing ballet dancer can be inspired by horses and a town full of starry dreams, so can you!
Remember, darling, there’s a ballerina inside us all waiting to be discovered! So grab your tutu, your best pair of pink heels, and a fearless attitude and go explore your own world! Who knows what magical adventures await!
See you all tomorrow for another post, filled with twirls, colour, and the loveliest things in life. Until then, keep dancing!
With love and pink kisses,
Emma xoxo www.pink-tutu.com
