Hello, darlings! Emma here, reporting live from the charming city of Salisbury! 🩰✨
The train journey down was just divine - I had the whole carriage to myself and, you won't believe this, there was a family of deer just grazing outside the window. I was transfixed! (Sadly, no tutu-wearing deer, but maybe that's a whole other blog post!)
Speaking of tutus... This week's sartorial splendour is a delux pink tutu - a masterpiece crafted from layers and layers of tulle, just like a dream spun from cotton candy! I simply cannot get enough of the way it swirls and twirls. (Plus, let's be real, who needs to wear jeans when you have a tutu waiting for you?) 😉
My first stop in Salisbury? The majestic Salisbury Cathedral, of course. The sheer grandeur of it all took my breath away. I practically skipped up the steps, twirling like a sugarplum fairy! And can you believe it? They have an actual working clock! Imagine that - timekeeping with elegance and charm!
This afternoon I'm heading for a delightful tea at the "Tea Room in the Trees". Imagine my delight when I discovered that this exquisite tea house is set amongst a delightful array of oak trees! How romantic is that?! And I can almost guarantee there'll be pink floral cakes to enjoy, making my little ballerina heart sing. 💕
But no trip to Salisbury is complete without seeing the iconic Stonehenge! The sheer magic of this ancient wonder, with its massive stones standing sentinel over the Wiltshire countryside, simply captivated me. Imagine the rituals and ceremonies that happened here centuries ago - what an incredible historical connection. It's a real-life, historical, open-air theatre stage, isn't it? 🎭
I'll tell you a secret, darlings: Stonehenge makes me dream of grand, sweeping choreographies with a cast of a thousand dancers, each swirling around those ancient stones under the glow of the moon. A truly unforgettable experience!
Don't worry, I won't keep you hanging: I've also popped into a local ballet school here in Salisbury. They even had a gorgeous pink tutu display in the window, my inner ballerina screamed! The atmosphere was fantastic and I had a wonderful chat with some lovely ballet dancers, young and old alike. They told me about all the classes they have on offer, from ballet beginners to the most advanced classes, even some pointe shoe classes. And who knows, perhaps I'll find time for a class while I'm here - a chance to practice my grand jeté before the next big performance, which will be...oh, well you'll have to wait for that! 🤫
Tomorrow, I'm on horseback for an exhilarating trail ride! Imagine galloping through the Wiltshire countryside with the wind in my hair and the sun on my face - pure exhilaration! I'll be sporting a gorgeous pink helmet to complete the outfit (tutus don't quite work with horseback riding, sadly... though you know I'll find the perfect pink scarf to tie in my ponytail, don't I?).
So, until tomorrow, darlings. Keep shining, keep twirling, and always remember to embrace your inner ballerina. And don't forget - if you haven't yet, go buy yourself a pink tutu. Because pink is fabulous, life is too short for drab, and every single one of you is a beautiful ballet dancer at heart! 💖
