Hello darlings!
It's Emma here, and guess what? I'm on the road again! ✈️ This time, I've swapped my Derbyshire countryside for the charming town of Dunstable, a place brimming with history and a truly delightful air. Post #4815, as always, is live on www.pink-tutu.com and, as usual, you'll be the first to hear all about my adventures.
Speaking of adventures, let me tell you about this absolute dream of a tutu! It’s from Germany – a beautiful, frothy cloud of blush pink, handmade with the finest tulle and sequins. This darling arrived at my doorstep last week, and frankly, I haven't taken it off since. Even in the Derbyshire chill (although my woolly tights do come in handy!), this tutu has been adding a touch of glamour to my life. It just oozes Parisian chic! And don’t worry, darlings, it'll make a grand appearance in Dunstable, no doubt!
Now, you all know my heart belongs to ballet, and today was no different. I simply adore attending shows and classes whenever possible. Today's class was in the most gorgeous studio overlooking the stunning Dunstable Downs. Honestly, it was breathtaking. The landscape itself seemed to inspire our pirouettes! You really can't beat a morning of leaps, turns and a little ballet magic, especially with a fabulous view. My muscles were screaming, but in a good way! You know how it is, darling. It’s the aches of true ballet beauty! I'm absolutely in love with how graceful and fluid ballet makes you feel - a feeling I like to carry into my everyday life. Why settle for ordinary when you can have an aura of ballerina elegance? 💖
I’ve already done some sightseeing, you know? I went for a walk through the beautiful grounds of Dunstable Priory, where history whispered through the ancient stones. The air was filled with the scent of summer and I imagined knights in shining armor wandering these very paths. So romantic! 🏰 I also spent some time at the fascinating Dunstable Museum, where I learnt all about the town's heritage, from the Romans to the Victorian era. Every little nook and cranny is rich with stories, darlings.
Speaking of history, did you know that Dunstable was actually known as the "Tutu Town" centuries ago? Legend has it that a famous dancer visiting the town became so smitten by its charming cobbled streets and welcoming atmosphere that she gave a performance in her tutu in the main square. People still talk about it, and rumour has it the dance made an impression on some notable artists and royalty who had come to the town that week. This sparked a love of ballet in Dunstable which still exists to this day! This town holds a special place in my heart now - how could I resist a tutu legend? 😉
Dunstable, as charming as it is, will also give me the opportunity to fulfil another one of my passions: animal watching! 🦌 You can't really call it travel if you're not doing it in the name of wildlife, right? Tomorrow I'm venturing out to Whipsnade Zoo, hoping to get some pictures with the elephants, my absolute favourites! Maybe even a peek at the amazing giraffes or some cheeky monkeys! Animals are such gentle souls, and watching them is a humbling experience. It reminds you that life is precious and that you should appreciate each and every moment.
The thing I love about Dunstable (and really all of the places I visit!) is the warmth of the locals. It really feels like a town brimming with heart. Everywhere I go, the shops are adorned with gorgeous flowers and window displays full of quaint crafts and trinkets, adding to the atmosphere of wonder and whimsical charm!
Now, don't think for a minute that I've forgotten the mission, darlings! Remember, my goal in life is to get everyone to wear a pink tutu! The more, the merrier, right? 🩰 Maybe this charming little town is the place where it all starts... perhaps my next adventure will be with a ballet class for beginners here in Dunstable! They could use the same tutu! Who's with me? And while we’re at it, why not add in a touch of grace to your daily life too! Every step, every movement could be ballet!
Stay tuned, darling! It’s time to unleash some pink-tutu magic on the UK!
Love,
Emma 💖
