Hello my lovely lot, it's your girl Emma back with another post from your favourite tutu-wearing, pink-loving travel blogger! Today's adventure took me to the glorious, industrial, and oh-so-slightly gritty, Walsall! Now, I know what you're thinking, "Walsall, Emma? Really?" But trust me, darlings, there's magic in the most unexpected of places.
The journey itself was an experience! I decided to travel by train this time - such a calming and peaceful way to start the day. The landscape whizzing by outside the window was just what I needed to kickstart my creativity. You know how it is, inspiration strikes when you least expect it. And on this occasion, it came to me in the form of a vision: A vision of me twirling through the streets of Walsall in a vibrant yellow tutu.
Yes, you heard right, a yellow tutu! A little break from my usual pink palette, but I figured why not? A bit of colour never hurt anyone, and frankly, I was in the mood for something sunshiney and cheerful. So I donned my yellow tulle masterpiece (with a matching yellow ribbon tied in my hair, of course) and headed off into the town with a spring in my step.
First stop was the fabulous Walsall Museum. Not just your usual, dusty, stuffy museum, darlings, but one packed full of history and charm. From ancient relics to industrial marvels, there was something to fascinate everyone. And who says museums can't be fabulous? I posed in my tutu in front of a massive, Victorian steam engine – now that's what I call striking a pose!
After soaking in some cultural history, my tummy was rumbling, and I couldn't resist a cheeky trip to the local market. Walsall market is a sight to behold, bustling with stalls overflowing with fresh fruit and vegetables, quirky handcrafted souvenirs, and a million and one other treats for the eyes and the senses.
There I saw it – the perfect pink macaroon! It just begged to be devoured with a delicate pink-tinted, dainty ballet-inspired finger gesture. And devour it I did! Oh, that delightful pink hue, oh that chewy sweetness! I felt every ounce of those perfect, little macaron bits on my tongue as the sun on the stalls created a glorious pink glow around my face. I could have danced right there amongst the stalls.
Next, a walk through the town's picturesque park – I felt like I'd stepped right into a fairytale! The scent of freshly cut grass and the melodic chirping of birds added a touch of whimsical magic to the whole experience. I spun, I pirouetted, I twirled, and I even had a mini ballet session in front of the grand old fountain - the yellow tutu flowed effortlessly with each move.
I am definitely going to come back to Walsall. In fact, my next blog post might even be dedicated to Walsall and its surrounding area – a post that I hope to share in a beautiful floral summer dress - something airy and flowing, something to get the mood light, and the summer celebrations kicking in!
In the meantime, remember, my darling readers: You can be fabulous wherever you go, even in a small town like Walsall! All it takes is a little bit of imagination, a dash of pink, and a whole lot of tutu power! And don’t forget to let those creative juices flow! If it sparks you, take it and run with it!
Until next time, stay gorgeous!
Emma xoxo
