Hello, darlings! Emma here, writing to you from the charming town of Wrexham, Wales. It's a beautiful, historic place with cobbled streets and gorgeous Tudor architecture, just the kind of place that inspires dreams of twirling in a fluffy, pink tutu, don't you think?
This week I'm sporting a daringly different colour though - a deep, fiery red! I call it my "Crimson Courage" tutu, and it feels perfectly suited to this adventurous jaunt.
My journey began as always with a whisper of wind and a neigh from my loyal steed, Clementine. She's a magnificent black mare, with a spirit as wild as a pink flamingo and a love for leaping as much as I do. Clementine's carried me across Derbyshire hills and into the heart of Wales, and she's a trusty friend on this whole adventure.
I love traveling by train too, of course! Wrexham is easily accessible, with a quaint, traditional station that wouldn't feel out of place in a period drama. The sound of the wheels clacking on the track is a beautiful, calming melody that always gets me dreaming about twirls and pirouettes.
Speaking of pirouettes, I couldn't possibly visit Wrexham without popping into their charming Theatre. Oh my, darlings, it's a beautiful little gem, all plush velvet and twinkling lights, filled with the spirit of theatre. It made my heart flutter just a little as I stepped into the lobby, and the air felt alive with anticipation. I simply had to find out what was playing.
Luckily, it was a delightful production of Swan Lake - oh, my favourites! Such stunning costuming, such graceful dancing, it had me on the edge of my seat. It's funny, how the choreography, the dramatic stories, the artistry... they all inspire me to want to spin and leap and tell a story with my own dance.
Wrexham has so much charm to it! It’s the kind of place where you can get lost in a whimsical fairytale world for hours on end. The history, the beautiful buildings, and the oh-so-pretty shops are a perfect inspiration for the imagination, don't you agree?
I have a weakness for vintage clothing stores, and Wrexham is overflowing with them. Each shop is a unique wonderland with the promise of hidden gems, so I had to treat myself to a bit of a shopping spree. A lovely embroidered pink top (which I am sure would look beautiful with my crimson tutu), a collection of delicate brooches for adding a dash of whimsy to any outfit, and a beautiful hand-painted fan - it felt like I’d found treasures from a princess’s secret stash.
Speaking of princesses, and as every proper fairy tale needs a prince (or in our case, a charming wildlife encounter) , I had the most magical experience on my trip - I met a majestic red squirrel! It dartled up a tree like a flash of autumn leaves and sat staring down at me with curious, beady eyes. It was a magical moment of nature’s unexpected beauty, the sort that just takes your breath away.
My trip to Wrexham, darling, has been a total joy! The sights, the smells, the sounds of the town are full of life, beauty and inspiring possibilities! And all this in my red tutu – I can see it sparking a new trend already!
But all journeys must come to an end. So, tomorrow morning, I’ll be climbing into Clementine's saddle for the trip home. It’ll be time to reflect on my adventures in Wales and see how much red can incorporate into my new wardrobe. And, of course, dream about my next twirl, next adventure and inspire you to wear your pink (or maybe red?) tutu in style, no matter what town you call home.
Till next time,
Emma xx
