Hello my darlings! It's your favourite tutu-tastic traveller, Emma, back with another dose of pink-powered fun! Today's post is extra special as I'm taking you all on a whirlwind trip to Chelmsford, a town brimming with character and charm!
As some of you might know, I adore a good adventure and have a bit of a thing for travel by train. I always find it so relaxing and a bit romantic to sit back and watch the countryside zoom by. This time, though, the journey was made even more fabulous thanks to my trusty companion - my purple tutu!
Now, I know what you're thinking, "Purple?! Emma, darling, that's a bit bold, isn't it?". But my lovelies, you see, I'm all about embracing colour and a little bit of whimsy in my life. And honestly, that gorgeous lilac hue was the perfect accent for the sunny day I was having!
Of course, I couldn't possibly head out to explore a new town without first getting my dance fix! Chelmsford has a delightful little dance studio called "The Ballet Belle," nestled amongst the charming boutiques and independent shops. Stepping into that studio, surrounded by the familiar scent of wood polish and a faint hint of perfume, felt like coming home. And the class itself? Absolutely brilliant! It was full of lovely ladies with smiles as wide as my tutu, and we all had a whale of a time! I can’t recommend The Ballet Belle enough – do give it a whirl if you’re ever in the area!
After class, my heart, filled with pure joy from dancing, was ready to tackle Chelmsford. Let me tell you, this place is a hidden gem! We started at the stunning Chelmsford Cathedral. Its intricate details and sense of history just took my breath away. And that rose window? Honestly, pure perfection.
Now, as you know, I have a soft spot for wildlife and anything a bit quirky. Chelmsford certainly delivers! There's a gorgeous green space, Hylands Park, with lush green lawns, babbling streams, and even a stunning lake, perfect for a little picnic, a lazy afternoon in the sunshine, or even just a peaceful stroll. I'm a huge fan of ducks, and guess what? The lake in Hylands Park is just bursting with them! I must have spent at least half an hour just watching them waddle and quack their way around, their tiny orange beaks bobbing up and down. It's amazing how these little creatures just manage to brighten up any day.
Of course, no trip would be complete without a bit of indulgence! And Chelmsford's High Street didn't disappoint! From independent shops overflowing with vintage treasures to cute little cafes, there's something to tempt everyone's tastebuds. I have to admit, I ended up taking home a few souvenirs, a beautiful hand-painted ceramic mug adorned with tiny ballerina figures and a pretty pink ribbon for my hair – both perfect keepsakes for my girly adventures.
I must say, Chelmsford totally won me over! It's got this incredible blend of history, charm, and fun, and it reminded me why I love exploring the lesser-known corners of our beautiful country. And of course, what's better than a little jaunt with your trusty tutu in tow?
I think it's fair to say, Chelmsford was a smash! It even inspired a new addition to my growing collection - a gorgeous new bright pink tutu! Because darling, we can never have too many tutus, can we? I might just have to try a little dance in the park when I next find myself in Chelmsford. Imagine, dancing in a beautiful park with your friends, the sun shining down on your pink tutu! I think that’s how I want to spend the rest of my days!
So, remember, darlings, life’s an adventure, so grab a tutu, step into the unknown, and embrace all the beauty, whimsy, and happiness life has to offer! Until next time, keep dancing, keep exploring, and keep those tutus twirling!
Love, Emma xx
