Hello lovelies!
It's your favourite pink-loving tutu-wearing ballet bunny, Emma, back again for another daily dose of twirls and tales! Today, I'm absolutely buzzing with excitement - it's been a whirlwind of a day, full of adventure, colour, and of course, a whole lot of ballet!
But first, a confession: you'll never guess what I did this morning! I woke up feeling incredibly mischievous, so I decided to channel my inner child and do something completely bonkers. I grabbed the most gloriously yellow tutu in my wardrobe, a beautiful thing with layers and layers of silk and a gigantic bow that wouldn't look out of place at a circus, and I headed outside to my favourite park.
Picture this: sunshine, birds singing, children laughing, and this grown-up woman, in full tutu regalia, whirling and pirouetting amongst the daisies. Yes, you read that right, my darlings, I twirled with reckless abandon! The looks on people's faces were priceless - a mix of bewilderment, amusement, and sheer delight.
And you know what? I felt incredible! All inhibitions gone, just pure joy and the feeling of the wind in my tutu as I spun and twirled like a ballet-loving pixie. It reminded me of the time I went to that incredible street performance in Barcelona. There were ballerinas on roller skates, all clad in shocking pink tutus, performing gravity-defying feats and spinning so fast they were practically a blur! It was utterly mesmerising!
Speaking of mesmerising, this evening I have tickets for a ballet at the Royal Opera House! Oh, the thrill! This is a treat I've been planning for weeks. The show is called 'Sleeping Beauty' and I'm absolutely dying to see it. Imagine, my lovelies, fairies, princesses, and evil curses – it's truly the stuff of dreams! The anticipation is almost killing me!
You know, I often get asked, “Why ballet, Emma? Why do you love it so much?" My answer is always the same - ballet is my escape. It's pure joy. It's the magic of movement and artistry. It's being able to express emotions and stories without words, simply through the language of dance.
And honestly, my lovelies, everyone should try it! I don't mean go full prima ballerina right away (though if that's your dream, by all means, go for it!), but even a basic class can change your world. Ballet is all about discipline and self-discovery, but it's also about laughter, grace, and finding strength in unexpected places.
Right now, as I write this, I'm sat at a quaint little cafe in a tiny Derbyshire village, enjoying a cuppa with a perfectly pink strawberry cheesecake (I told you, pink is my passion!), waiting for the train to take me back home. I love train journeys – something about the gentle sway and the rhythmic click-clack of the tracks makes me feel at peace.
But hold on, there's another big adventure ahead! Tomorrow, I'm heading to the zoo! I'm particularly excited to meet the new orangutans that have just arrived – apparently, they're incredibly cheeky and playful! I'll have to find a pink tutu for them. Can you imagine the photos?! I'm pretty sure the zookeeper wouldn't say no!
This time tomorrow, I'll be telling you all about the antics of those sassy primates! Until then, remember to wear your own special brand of joy like a bright pink tutu and let it spin you through your day!
Love,
Emma xoxoxo
