Prestwich, Pretty in Pink, and a Stiff Tutu!

Hello my darlings!

It’s a beautiful Wednesday morning here in Derbyshire and I’m practically bouncing off the walls with excitement! You see, I’m about to embark on a truly delightful journey to the enchanting town of Prestwich! It's a lovely little place just outside Manchester, perfect for a day of ballet bliss and, of course, pink!

Before I reveal the secrets of my Prestwich adventure, I simply had to share a little bit about my morning routine, which was absolutely positively pink-tastic! You know, life's a lot more magical when you start with a big smile and a little bit of pink. It sets the mood, you see? I woke up to the smell of fresh coffee (the only way to start a day!), and then whipped up a breakfast fit for a ballerina: fluffy pink pancakes drizzled with honey and topped with fresh strawberries. Who needs sugar when you've got that beautiful natural sweetness?

After a morning of graceful stretches and a vigorous ballet class (because we've got to stay on top of our pirouettes, don't we?), I donned my latest acquisition, a glorious pink tutu that is so breathtakingly gorgeous I practically swoon just looking at it. Yes, you heard that right, a tutu in a dazzling shade of fuchsia pink, a perfect touch of whimsy and delight. It's practically begging for a trip to the theatre or perhaps even a leisurely stroll through a blooming rose garden!

I must confess, dear readers, there's a teeny tiny hitch. The tutu, gorgeous as it is, seems to have decided it's a little too stiff to sit in on the train journey! Oh, the struggles of a glamorous ballerina, right? It's all part of the ballet adventure, I suppose. But let's be honest, no outfit is complete without the perfect travel accessory! Fortunately, my trusty (and undeniably stylish) pink handbag was just the trick to hold this lovely, stubborn little ballerina piece. It will get to Prestwich, never fear!

And now, dear friends, onto the details of this delightful Prestwich trip! As some of you may know, Prestwich is famous for its connection to ballet legend, Margot Fonteyn. So naturally, it's the perfect destination for a little pilgrimage to celebrate all things ballet! First stop: a charming little tea room for some scones and tea. They’ve even got pink teacups, a beautiful tribute to our ballerina queen Margot. Then, I’ll be paying a visit to the lovely Prestwich Library to explore their collection of ballet books. You’ll never guess what – there’s even a ballet performance later tonight in Prestwich and I’ve got my ticket all ready! The excitement is simply overwhelming!

Don’t forget my darlings, Prestwich isn’t the only place to celebrate all things ballet. A good day trip is perfect for a lovely little ballet getaway, but I can tell you, a ballet class with a lovely ballet school is the very best way to bring your own ballet journey to life. Do try it, I promise, you’ll never be sorry. Just remember, a bit of pink in your life, a tutu and some dancing, and a healthy dose of passion – those are the ingredients to the perfect ballet life.

Now, excuse me, darlings. It’s time to catch that train, but I promise to fill you in on the details of my trip in my next post. It’ll be bursting with more fun, ballet adventures, and naturally, lots and lots of pink!

Until next time, stay happy and dance like nobody’s watching!

Love,

Emma.
