#TutuBlog 2013-11-25 in Fleet with a orange tutu.

Hey lovelies!

It’s Emma here, back from a whirlwind weekend in the quaint town of Fleet, Hampshire. This time, however, my trusty pink tutu wasn’t my travel companion – oh no, this weekend called for a dash of autumnal flair! Picture this: crisp autumn air, cobblestone streets lined with golden foliage, and me, twirling in an orange tutu that practically screamed, “Bonjour, autumn!”

Fleet, a little gem nestled in the heart of Hampshire, was calling me. A weekend break was just what I needed to escape the hustle and bustle of London life. I felt the city grime melting away as I boarded the train, the click-clack rhythm lulling me into a dreamy state of anticipation. Oh, how I love the romance of rail travel! It's all about the anticipation of reaching your destination, not the frantic pace of the modern world.

Speaking of romantic escapes, I'm itching to share my ballet escapade from the weekend. Remember how I mentioned I wanted to escape the city? Well, I found myself tucked away in a quaint theatre, the scent of aged wood and floral perfume in the air. The stage lights bathed everything in a warm glow as the performance began. I held my breath, entranced by the graceful movements, the passionate storytelling through dance. It was sheer perfection!

After the performance, I wandered through Fleet’s charming cobbled streets, soaking up the vibrant colours of the autumnal display. Stopping at a quaint café, I enjoyed a pot of fragrant tea and a slice of homemade cake – all while sporting my bright orange tutu, naturally. It drew smiles and laughter from everyone I passed. Isn’t it amazing how a bit of colour and whimsy can brighten up even the dreariest of days?

But hold on, there’s more! Fleet's secret treasure? A local wildlife park that was practically brimming with adorable critters! Fluffy sheep, playful deer, and the most majestic red kites I’ve ever seen soaring overhead! I was truly smitten. It’s moments like these, surrounded by nature's beauty, that remind me why I love to travel so much. And what’s even better, I got to add to my "pink tutu adventures" by spotting a rare white fluffy sheep with a cute pink patch right above its tail – how's that for a synchronicity moment?

And the best part of this entire trip? I realised that you can enjoy a bit of “ballet magic” anywhere, anytime, you know! I wasn’t just dancing on stage. I was twirling with nature, I was prancing through town, and I was swirling with delight with every step I took. Even in the midst of the most mundane activities, a little bit of creativity and playful attitude can transform a simple day into an unforgettable adventure!

So here’s my call to action for this week, lovelies: Make life a dance! Embrace the little joys, embrace the opportunity to express yourself with joy and colour! Whether it’s waltzing down the street in your favourite pink tutu (or perhaps a splash of orange!) or taking a ballet class – find your own way to twirl, prance, and soar through life.

Because remember, my dear friends, life is a grand, whimsical ballet, and we're all starring in it!

Until next time,

Lots of love,

Emma
