Hello darlings! Emma here, ready to take you on another whirl-wind adventure through the world of pink tutus, ballet, and all things fabulous. Today, I’m in the rather industrial-looking Ellesmere Port. Not the most glamorous of locations, you might think, but hold onto your hats because we're going to inject some pink magic into this corner of Cheshire!
Remember how much I love travelling by train? Well, this trip was all about a rather luxurious train journey. I snuggled into my plush seat, humming along to my playlist of Tchaikovsky and Chopin. As the landscape rolled past, I dreamt of a whimsical ballet performance featuring graceful dancers, leaping through fields of wildflowers… Maybe it’s the Derbyshire countryside girl in me, but I adore the rolling green hills, charming farmhouses, and fluffy clouds dotting the sky.
When I arrived at Ellesmere Port station, I decided to make the most of my trip with a little detour. The station's surprisingly close to a lovely wildlife park! I’m a bit of a wildlife enthusiast, so it was the perfect way to ground myself in the real world before heading for the tutu-filled fantasy of a ballet class.
Honestly, watching otters play in the sunshine just fills my heart with joy. I know I’ve talked about it before, but ballet and wildlife are a perfect match for me! They both involve grace, athleticism, and beauty, and I love seeing how both humans and animals express themselves through movement. It really speaks to the spirit of joy that drives everything I do.
With my spirit full of otters and wildflowers, I arrived at my destination, ready to conquer the world, one tutu-clad plié at a time! I am a massive fan of taking ballet class wherever I go. It’s just such a universal language of movement that connects me to dancers from all corners of the globe! The studio was located in a former church, adding a touch of ethereal beauty to the experience. There was a little pink dress code for the class (a personal request by yours truly), which, let’s just say, everyone responded enthusiastically to! Imagine a room full of graceful, rosy figures… simply beautiful!
It felt so magical, just being surrounded by all those fabulous dancers, the tutus swirling and the pink smiles illuminating the room. After an exhilarating class, we all had a picnic on the church grounds. I brought pink prosecco and homemade rosewater cupcakes - I know, I know! Always gotta add a dash of pink sparkle to everything!
And to finish the day, I discovered the cutest little shop filled with everything pink you could imagine: tutu accessories, sparkly headbands, even tiny pink teacups for my little finger! I left with a giant, fluffy pink boa to wear around my neck and a delicate pink feather boa to attach to my tutu. You never know what little touches of sparkle might be needed to elevate a simple day into a delightful adventure!
Okay, darling, I hope you’re feeling inspired to explore the world with a touch of pink, grace, and tutus. Let me know if you have any adventures planned for your own pink journeys! And remember, everyone can wear a pink tutu!
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I'm off to dream of a world where pink is the universal colour, and every soul, young or old, knows the magic of twirling in a tutu!
Love, Emma
