Hello, darlings! 👋 It’s Emma here, bringing you all the pinkest and most twirly news from my corner of the world! Today I’m whisking you away to the charming town of Rowley Regis in the West Midlands – a delightful day trip that had me feeling like a true ballerina, even if it involved a bit more train travel than pirouette! 🚄🩰
My morning began with a delicious breakfast of granola, berries, and a dollop of pink yoghurt. My inner ballerina needs that pre-show fuel! 😉 Afterwards, I donned my favourite tutu – a stunning American style design that whisked me back to the golden era of dance. It's a vibrant, sunshine yellow, but, of course, with a touch of pink embellishment. You know me, always bringing that girly touch! ✨
Then, the adventure began! I hopped aboard the train, with the promise of a wonderful day ahead. This part of my life - the travelling - is absolutely delightful. I adore the journeys by train, allowing me to lose myself in a good book or observe the world whizzing past, soaking in all the beautiful scenery. It really feels like I'm on a stage, and the changing scenery is the ever-changing backdrop. 🤩
As the train journey continued, my heart was bubbling with excitement. My mind was picturing myself waltzing across the stages of the iconic Birmingham Hippodrome or taking a spin on the beautiful grounds of the Dudley Zoological Gardens. They're my favourite places to visit in the Midlands - perfect for a tutu-tastic afternoon! 🩰🐆
Rowley Regis welcomed me with open arms, or should I say open train carriage doors? 😉 It was such a vibrant town with lots of history. I strolled along the canals and explored the local shops, breathing in the crisp autumn air and soaking in the charming atmosphere. And you guessed it, I made sure my tutu swirled beautifully as I went. 😄 It's so important to make the most of every opportunity to twirl, don't you think?
Now, if you're familiar with Rowley Regis, you might know its connection with a famous British musical. But I’ll keep you guessing for now! It’s linked to the famous "Starlight Express", a show I absolutely adore. Who doesn't love roller skates, bright costumes, and an amazing soundtrack?! 🚀💫 And speaking of music, Rowley Regis had a wonderful selection of music shops and independent stores with fabulous vintage clothing. 🎼 I love finding unique and exciting outfits for my dancewear collection!
As the afternoon melted into golden hour, it was time to enjoy a cup of tea and a slice of Victoria sponge cake at the lovely Tea Rooms on High Street. Oh, they had the most amazing selection of homemade cakes! They're so scrumptious! The tea room felt warm and inviting. It was perfect to unwind and reflect on a perfect day of exploring and enjoying a town steeped in character. ☕🍰
Before returning home, I couldn’t resist taking a leisurely stroll through the Black Country Living Museum. What a delight it was! This open-air museum takes you back to Victorian England and the industrial heartland. I imagine myself dancing with a lamplighter as I listen to the echoes of a bygone era! 🪔 And can we talk about the costumes in those old theatre posters! My love for the elaborate, beautiful, and yes, slightly OTT vintage costumes! 😄
Returning to my humble Derbyshire abode, my head was buzzing with inspiration! My mind already started dreaming of all the outfits and dance routines inspired by my trip. The town had a vibrant soul, and it reflected back on me, inspiring me with ideas for my next blog post. ✨
So, remember my darlings, there's a world out there bursting with exciting stories, charming towns, and of course, fantastic places to wear your favourite pink tutus! Keep your eyes on the rails, and don’t forget, it’s always a good time for a twirl. 😉
Until next time!
Stay fabulous, my dears, Emma x
