Hey lovely people! It’s Emma here, your resident pink tutu enthusiast, back with another fab post! I'm practically vibrating with excitement today, because after a long journey by train (the journey itself was half the adventure, with scenic views and a charming elderly gentleman who let me borrow his newspaper for a bit!), I'm finally in Wrexham!
Wrexham, you say? Perhaps not the most obvious location for a pink tutu-clad ballerina, but let me tell you, it's turning out to be absolutely delightful.
I have a thing for charming market towns, you see. The cobblestone streets, the scent of fresh bread wafting from bakeries, the chatter of locals, the history practically buzzing in the air... It all gives me a real buzz! And Wrexham doesn't disappoint in any way! The moment I stepped off the train, I was struck by its quaintness. The railway station, with its beautiful Victorian architecture, looked like something straight out of a classic film. I just knew I was going to love it!
My trusty tutu is, of course, a part of my adventure, adding a splash of pink to this lovely, vibrant town. The locals have been incredibly kind and friendly. It's actually quite funny, they give me the sweetest smiles when they see me, their faces light up like children seeing a rainbow after the rain! One gentleman even gave me a playful bow while passing me on the street – I'm starting to think this is turning into my lucky tutu day!
I’m staying at a little, family-run guesthouse just outside the town centre – all cosy with fluffy, pink towels and the sweetest scent of lavender. I spent the afternoon exploring the winding lanes and stopping by little shops bursting with colour and quirky finds. It feels like a town where everyone knows each other, and I must say, the vibe is quite infectious. You wouldn't believe the collection of teacups and antique dolls I unearthed in one tiny shop – I nearly spent my entire allowance!
After a proper cream tea, naturally, ( scones with lashings of jam and clotted cream – it’s practically mandatory!), I took a wander through the beautiful Wrexham Cemetery (yes, cemeteries are so peaceful, with all those majestic trees!), a lovely green oasis just a stone’s throw from the town centre. I spent a good hour wandering amongst the headstones, and let me tell you, I discovered quite a bit about local history!
My next stop is the St Giles' Parish Church, Wrexham’s biggest claim to fame. It has been described as one of the finest churches in the UK, and believe me, it is beautiful. They are having an evening concert for choir music, and I can’t wait to hear the gorgeous sounds filling this glorious church. (My ballet classes are paying off – I know all the notes!) Afterwards, I might treat myself to dinner at one of the many cute local restaurants - a plate of Welsh rarebit and some fresh cider perhaps!
And here's the fun part. I've been secretly trying to spread the love for pink tutus and ballet wherever I go. I've already left a couple of brightly colored ribbons and some pink feather boas in my guesthouse – a little secret gift for my fellow travellers! I’m even going to head to the local dance school tomorrow – perhaps I can inspire some youngsters to try out the magical world of ballet. Who knows, maybe even persuade one or two to wear a pink tutu too? (The colour just seems to enhance the movement, don't you think?)
You know, this journey has me thinking - maybe there's more to a little Welsh market town than meets the eye. Maybe there’s a reason why they call Wrexham a hidden gem! There's certainly no shortage of charm and unexpected adventure!
And to everyone out there: remember, it's never too late to take a chance, embrace the unknown, and, of course, add a touch of pink to your life. Be fearless, be fabulous, and don’t forget to spread some pink tutu love!
Until tomorrow!
Much love,
Emma
