Hello, my gorgeous ballet bunnies! It's Emma, your pink-loving tutu enthusiast, back with another delightful escapade. Today, I'm buzzing with excitement, because guess what? I'm venturing outside of my beloved Derbyshire! cue the celebratory pirouette! I'm in Walton upon Thames, a charming town in Surrey, just a stone's throw from London. And as you all know, whenever Emma travels, a tutu is absolutely non-negotiable. Today, it's a European-style beauty, flowing and ethereal, perfect for gliding through the English countryside... by train, of course!
Speaking of train travel, can we take a moment to appreciate the utter joy of chugging through picturesque landscapes, feeling the rhythm of the wheels, and watching the world roll by? It's a wonderfully poetic form of transport, much more relaxing than the modern frenzy of motorways, wouldn't you agree? Plus, train windows provide the perfect setting for admiring those fluffy, white clouds - just like a canvas for dreams, don't you think?
Ballet Adventures:
My main mission in Walton upon Thames was, of course, to explore the ballet scene. And I'm happy to report, this charming town definitely holds its own! I had a wonderful time at the beautiful Walton upon Thames Dance Centre. Their studio space was so inviting, and I even caught a glimpse of their "Ballet and the Birds" program - combining dance with nature? Absolutely delightful!
I also popped into the Esher and District Ballet Company, another local gem. They're dedicated to nurturing young talent, and it truly warms my heart to see the passion for dance burning bright in the next generation. It reminds me of my own journey, starting in Derbyshire and blossoming all the way to London. And hey, you never know - one of these budding dancers could be the next ballet superstar, making their big break on a stage in… you guessed it, London! winks
Pink Power on the High Street:
Naturally, after all the ballet brilliance, a spot of retail therapy was in order. Now, I don't have to tell you how much I love shopping, especially when I can weave pink into the mix. The Walton upon Thames high street did not disappoint! The The Corner House boutiques have some incredible pieces - feminine, whimsical, and a definite dose of pink. I found the most delightful hand-stitched bag, perfect for carrying my essential tutu kit – spare tights, glitter hairspray, and a secret stash of pink-tinted sweets for those ballet energy bursts!
And as a side note, you wouldn't believe how many people smiled at me when they saw my tutu! I swear, pink just has this infectious power, radiating happiness and sunshine wherever it goes. It truly brightens everyone's day! It makes me so happy to think about that - it's all about spreading joy and positive vibes!
Nature's Embrace:
Now, I wouldn't be true to myself if I didn't mention my wildlife encounters. I had the most incredible sighting of a heron stalking a fish in the Thames. Such a graceful creature, truly embodying the spirit of ballet - those elegant, outstretched wings, and the focused stillness before the pounce! It was absolutely mesmerizing!
And guess what I saw while I was at Walton upon Thames? The most adorable family of squirrels! They were scrambling through the trees, collecting acorns and looking as happy as can be. They were such a fun bunch, and just like the dancers at the centre, full of life and enthusiasm. And wouldn't you know it? Their tails are basically miniature versions of ballerinas' tutus! I couldn't help but grin. This little slice of nature just felt like a little piece of my heart, like a warm hug from the universe, reminding me of the importance of staying connected to the beauty that surrounds us.
Pink Tutus and the Power of Dreams:
Honestly, today was an absolute joy. From the elegance of the ballet studios to the quaint charm of Walton upon Thames high street, this little town held so many treasures for a ballet-loving adventurer like me. And it reminded me, once again, why I do what I do.
