Hey loves! Emma here, and guess what? I'm in London! 🎉
This is post number 5987, and trust me, every single one is filled with tutus, travel, and tons of pink. It's practically a law. 😂
This week has been a whirlwind of tutus and teacups, and let's be honest, that's my kind of whirlwind. 🌪️
My trip to the Big Smoke started with a journey that's truly my favourite – a train journey. The gentle rocking of the carriages, the scenic views whizzing past my window, and the ever-present anticipation for a new adventure, it's truly magical! ✨
Speaking of magic, have you seen the ballet show at the Royal Opera House? It's practically on another level. I mean, imagine yourself surrounded by stunning costumes, incredible performances, and the most beautiful music imaginable. I'm a total sucker for classical music, and let me tell you, it doesn't get better than a live orchestra. 🎻
Speaking of music, I did a bit of my own ballet performance this week too! I had the chance to take a class in a beautiful old studio near Hyde Park. They had these gorgeous floor-to-ceiling windows with a view of the park, and the light filtering in as we stretched and twirled? It felt like we were in a real-life fairytale. 🌳
Now, I know what you're thinking – “Emma, surely you didn't go to London without wearing a pink tutu?” Well, how could I resist?! This time, I opted for a beautiful vintage tutu I picked up from a shop in Nottingham (don't you just love vintage tutus? They have the best stories!). 🕰️
It was the perfect accessory for a day of sightseeing at the National Gallery. I may have caused a few double-takes as I pirouetted through the galleries (oh, you know how I love to turn a head!), but everyone seemed to smile, which is always the best feeling. 💖
Of course, I couldn't leave London without visiting Wembley. Have you ever been to a concert or a football match there? It's amazing! I got to go to the Wembley Arena and experience a bit of that magical atmosphere. The sheer scale of the place just leaves you breathless. It's definitely somewhere you need to add to your travel list. 😉
After a busy few days of exploring London, I was really ready for some peace and quiet. I decided to treat myself to a trip to the countryside, a little trip that included my favourite kind of transport: horseback riding! I find something so liberating about galloping through a field on a beautiful, majestic horse. You can just feel the wind in your hair and the freedom flowing through your veins. 🐎
One thing I've really fallen in love with recently is wildlife. I know, I know, not exactly what you expect from a tutu-wearing ballerina. But when I get the chance, I love spending time with animals. I find something so grounding and reassuring about them. So on my countryside trip, I was delighted to see a beautiful fox sunbathing in a field! It reminded me that there's so much beauty and wonder in the world if we take the time to look for it. 🦊
And so, after a week filled with tutus, teacups, ballet, travel, and a bit of wildlife, I'm heading back home to Derbyshire. You know, it's always lovely to get back to the rolling green hills and the familiar countryside charm. 🌳
But I have to admit, I'm already counting down the days until my next trip! I can just picture it now, a brand-new adventure waiting just around the corner… and a pink tutu, of course! 💖🩰
Until next time, loves! Don't forget to check back tomorrow for more tutu adventures! 💕
Love, Emma
