Hey lovelies!
Welcome back to Pink-Tutu.com for my daily dose of twirling tales and pink perfection! It's Emma here, your fellow ballet enthusiast, and today I'm buzzing about my latest adventure!
This is post number 5402 for those of you who like to keep track (and honestly, who doesn't?!) I'm feeling extra sparkly today because I just had the most wonderful morning in the most charming place... Cheadle Hulme, Derbyshire. I know what you're thinking: "Emma, that's practically your backyard!" And you're absolutely right! But even the most familiar places can surprise you when you see them through pink-tinted glasses, am I right?
Speaking of pink-tinted glasses... I was sporting my latest PINK tulle masterpiece today! A swirling cloud of chiffon, blush pink with delicate silver thread accents, perfect for a stroll in the springtime air! It’s amazing what a little splash of colour can do to a day, don't you think? You just feel a little bit brighter and more ready to take on the world. (And yes, I'm talking about that cheeky "tutu in public" thing we love to do - I might have even caused a few double-takes! 😉)
My Cheadle Hulme escapades were less about "seeing the sights" and more about a blissful day of ballet and wildlife. Now, I know that sounds like a strange combo, but trust me, it was glorious!
It started with a trip to the local community center for a ballet class. Nothing quite compares to that warm, welcoming space where the music sweeps you away and your muscles are pushed to their limits. The teacher, a delightful woman named Ms. Penelope, is a master at making you feel like you can achieve anything. Today, we learned a new waltz routine – you guys have to see my leaps and pirouettes, they were truly spectacular (I’ll definitely be posting a video about it later!). The air was thick with the scent of old wooden floors and freshly applied rosewater and I just loved every single minute of it!
Afterwards, my stomach was growling for a little fuel, so I wandered over to a quaint little cafe called "The Teacup and The Twirl". You guys, this place is adorable! Think vintage furniture, pastel colors and the most delicious home-baked cakes you could ever imagine. The aroma was like a magical ballet – sugary, delicate, and irresistible!
Full of caffeine and deliciousness, I continued my adventure in search of Cheadle Hulme's hidden treasures... wildlife, of course! Now, Cheadle Hulme may not be a tropical rainforest, but it has a beautiful little green space known as "The Meadows" that’s a paradise for wildlife. I discovered it when I was 10 years old and the world has been full of butterflies and happy memories since then.
The Meadows were absolutely buzzing with life – squirrels darting through the trees, robins singing their hearts out, and even a little family of ducks taking a dip in the pond. I love finding hidden spots in my own neighborhood. I try to do that everywhere I travel and this day really hit the spot.
And finally, a touch of ballet theatre... I found this quirky, independent cinema called "The Rialto". Now, I couldn’t actually find any ballets showing but they did have a showing of "The Swan Lake". Oh my goodness, it was the perfect way to end a day of twirling and wildlife spotting!
Here’s a little behind-the-scenes of my journey, straight from the world of my Instagram, captured with my brand new pink camera. Oh yeah, you know I had to treat myself for all the beautiful inspiration. Just search for #TutuBlog – all the adventures, the places, the costumes and my ballet besties. You'll be sure to find a whole gallery of gorgeousness!
