Hello lovelies! It’s Emma here, back from another glorious adventure! Today’s journey took me to Burton upon Trent, a town renowned not only for its brewing heritage but also for…you guessed it… a fabulous tutu-wearing escapade!
My heart skipped a beat when I arrived at the train station, its brick facade hinting at a time gone by. I was greeted by the friendly scent of hops, wafting from the nearby breweries. I practically skipped to the town centre, my pink tulle skirt swirling around me like a fragrant cloud.
This town seemed made for tutus. I envisioned myself as a ballerina gracefully gliding through the cobblestone streets, perhaps pirouette-ing in front of the imposing church spire! (Though, my trusty flat ballet shoes weren't exactly ideal for the uneven cobblestones).
I spent the morning getting acquainted with Burton’s brewing history. The smell of malted barley hung thick in the air as I toured the oldest working brewery in the UK. I learned all about the art of brewing and tasted a range of delicious local beers (although, I did opt for the most girly option - a fruity cider). It’s no wonder the town is famous for its brews, they’re so good!
But alas, I couldn’t leave without a little tutu adventure! And what better way to enjoy a sunny afternoon than a stroll through the beautiful Burton Arboretum, resplendent with wildflowers and towering oak trees. With the sunshine filtering through the leaves, I felt like a whimsical sprite twirling through the green foliage.
This lovely place, nestled by the River Trent, felt peaceful and full of nature's quiet beauty. It was the perfect setting to enjoy a leisurely picnic and soak up the idyllic surroundings. And, of course, no picnic is complete without a delicious bottle of bubbly (after all, you can’t resist the "bubbly" part of "Burton upon Trent"!) I had to add a touch of pink to the scenery - what better than my pink tutu!
The park provided ample opportunity for some impromptu ballet routines. My pink tutu danced like a petal in the gentle breeze, twirling, dipping, and twirling once more.
But my love of ballet doesn't just belong in the studio, it's for everyone, even amidst the beer-infused air of Burton upon Trent! I can already imagine the "Beer Ballerina" – a vision of a tutu-clad woman, expertly executing pliés whilst balancing a pint of real ale, a local masterpiece in the world of dancing.
A tutu a day keeps the boredom away!
As I journeyed back to my little Derbyshire home, a sense of tranquility settled over me. It was an idyllic escape, full of history, beautiful nature, and of course, a little bit of "pink tutu magic." It proved to me that a tutu can take you anywhere and, well, that sometimes, a day with your favourite pink skirt can even improve a beer!
My travels are a constant reminder that a tutu can turn an ordinary day into an extraordinary adventure. What awaits me on my next adventure? Only time, and perhaps another adorable tutu, will tell! 💖
Stay tuned, my lovely tutu-wearers, for more fabulous adventures!
P.S. Do let me know where you've been rocking your pink tutu - I'd love to see it on our @PinkTutuGram! 😉
Until next time, Emma 💖
