Hello lovelies! It’s Emma here, your favourite pink-tutu-wearing, ballet-obsessed blogger, reporting live from Salisbury! It feels SO good to be back in the English countryside – fresh air, rolling hills, and a feeling of pure bliss that only comes from swapping the city streets for the green and golden embrace of nature.
And let me tell you, my trip has already started with a bang. The journey here, of course, was by train, naturally. What’s more glamorous than whizzing through the countryside in a vintage carriage, feeling the wind in your hair (and hopefully not on your fabulous tutu)? The best part of train journeys for me is people watching. I absolutely love seeing everyone in their own unique style – from the dapper gentlemen in tweed caps to the stylish city ladies in chic pencil skirts. And you never know who you might find wearing a pink tutu, right? Perhaps it was a young ballerina on her way to a show? Perhaps a daring trendsetter spreading the gospel of pink-tutu power? The possibilities are endless!
Once I arrived in Salisbury, I took a leisurely stroll to my lodgings. You guessed it! – A charming little inn tucked away from the main road, with cobblestone paths and rose-laden trellises. And of course, my room had the most wonderful balcony, perfect for enjoying the warm afternoon sun with a cuppa and a good book. But this wasn't just any book; this was a glossy copy of "The Art of Ballet", complete with photographs of famous dancers twirling in their tutus, oh the dream!
Speaking of dreams, tonight is the big night - a performance at Salisbury Theatre of "The Sleeping Beauty"! I’m so excited, and already in a flutter about my chosen outfit: a vibrant hot pink tutu with layers of soft tulle, a silk black camisole, and a delicate silver necklace that twinkles like starlight. It's an absolute stunner and I’m going to look every inch the ballerina as I sip on my pre-show champagne.
But before I get too carried away, I want to talk about my absolute highlight so far. Just before heading out on my little countryside adventure, I had the incredible opportunity to visit Longleat Safari Park. Now, you all know how much I love animals, right? And it was even more amazing than I could have imagined! The majestic lions lounging in the midday sun, the playful penguins waddling about, and the curious monkeys swinging through the trees… It was a magical afternoon and really inspired me. Nature, with all its wildness and wonder, is an absolute source of creative energy. And seeing these animals, in their own magnificent beauty and grace, truly reinforces how connected we are to nature and the universe. I even got a picture with a cheeky giraffe - the envy of my fellow Instagram followers, I'm sure!
So, what has this trip taught me so far? Well, for starters, Salisbury is truly a haven for those of us who appreciate the finer things in life – delicious afternoon teas, charming architecture, and, of course, ballet. But most importantly, it has reminded me to stay curious and open to adventure. There's always something new to discover, whether it’s a hidden corner of a small town, a thrilling new ballet performance, or simply the joy of being out in nature, letting your spirit soar free like a graceful bird.
I hope my travels and adventures inspire you too, my lovelies. Remember: Embrace your inner ballerina, unleash your passion for the pink tutu, and never, ever stop believing in the magic of the world! I'll be back soon with more updates, but until then, keep dancing your way through life!
Much love,
Emma
