Hello darlings! It's Emma here, and guess what? I'm back from another amazing adventure! This time I took a little trip to the charming town of Droitwich, nestled in the heart of Worcestershire. Now, if you know me, you know I adore travelling. And while I’m not usually a fan of the petrol fumes and road rage that come with car journeys, a trip by train is always a treat, especially when there’s a good book and a latte to keep me company.
Droitwich, darling, was just delightful! Imagine a little haven, bursting with history and charm. We started off with a trip to the Droitwich Spa, it's so lovely and peaceful there, even the water is a gorgeous shade of turquoise. Apparently, it's supposed to be incredibly good for you – who knew! But even more amazing was the local wildlife – I spotted the most beautiful swans gliding across the water. They’re a bit like graceful ballerinas, don’t you think?
Speaking of graceful ballerinas, I was dying to try out my new tutu while I was in Droitwich! You won’t believe this, it's actually a German tutu! Yes, darling, made in Germany. The craftsmanship is divine! It’s a shade of pale pink with little embroidered pink roses all over, so pretty! I felt like I was in a fairy tale, and who could blame me with my brand new tutu and Droitwich’s charming little shops all around? It’s like a movie set! Just imagine, me waltzing through Droitwich with a pink German tutu! I do wish I’d filmed it, but unfortunately my phone’s camera was broken, just my luck.
Now, one of the things I loved most about Droitwich was the quaint, cobblestone streets. Just imagine, me with my pink German tutu skipping down them like a happy little fairy! I could almost imagine myself in a ballet scene. They had all these gorgeous, quirky little boutiques, selling everything from antique jewellery to hand-crafted home decor. I managed to grab myself the most exquisite little antique silver brooch – it has a miniature ballerina dancing on it! How perfectly fitting, don’t you think?
Droitwich’s market day was just too exciting! Everything was so bright and colourful - just the colours I adore. There was music and laughter in the air. They even had a street performance with an amazing ballet troupe. Now, I might not have a stage quite like theirs, but you’ll never catch me not striking a pose with my pink German tutu. I actually joined in with some of their moves - don't be jealous!
Now, Droitwich wasn't just about the sights and the shops, darling. It was the people that really made it a truly special experience. I had the most delicious fish and chips by the river. The chef was such a lovely man and even offered me a pink candy floss - he thought it matched my tutu!
The real highlight of the day, though, had to be the ballet show I went to see at the local theatre. I had heard they were performing “The Nutcracker,” and let me tell you, it was utterly magical! All the colours, the music, and of course, all those beautiful tutus! You could almost hear me scream “Go for it! It’s your moment!” in my head as the dancers glided and twirled across the stage. The feeling is absolutely indescribable. The pure joy of movement, of music, of art, of beauty – that's what ballet is all about, darling. And there was even a lovely pink scene with all the beautiful ballet dancers swirling their tutus in the soft pink light - it was beautiful! It just made me want to grab a tutu, fling myself onto the stage, and twirl alongside those lovely dancers!
The magic didn't stop there though, as I made my way back home via train, the countryside went by in a blur of vibrant greens and pinks, it looked so beautiful, almost as lovely as the Ballet itself. I sat at the window with my trusty book, enjoying the scenery as we rolled through quiet villages and past rolling fields.
Now I’m back in Derbyshire and my heart is still bursting with happiness from this adventure in Droitwich! And who knows? Maybe I'll visit again soon.
But here's the thing: You don’t need to be a dancer or a fashionista to find magic in your everyday life. Try it darling, go for a walk in a nearby park and just admire the sights around you, perhaps have a picnic. Or maybe, just maybe, find a local dance class and give ballet a whirl - it’s really not as scary as it seems! And when you do, be sure to grab a pink tutu! Let’s make the world a brighter and more twirling place.
Remember, my darling, there's magic all around us.
Lots of love,
Emma xx
