Hey darlings! It's your girl Emma, back again with another day of pink-tutu-tastic adventures. Welcome to Post #6846, and today we're stepping off the train at Neath, a little gem nestled in the valleys of Wales. ?
Neath is steeped in history – it’s where the River Neath flows into the Bristol Channel. The area was a hive of industry back in the day, but today, it's a haven for beautiful nature. ?
You know me, darling, I’m always happiest when I can combine my love for fashion and travel with the wonders of nature. That’s why, today, I’ve paired my signature pink tutu with a fluffy, pink cardigan. The tutu is this stunning layered one I picked up in Derbyshire – the most perfect shade of millennial pink you ever did see. And trust me, this cardigan was made for a picnic in the woods! ?
Speaking of picnicking… let me tell you, it’s no easy feat to manage a perfect picnic whilst in a tutu! Luckily, the charming cafes of Neath didn’t disappoint. They served the most adorable little Welsh pancakes – it was practically an excuse to wear my special pancake tutu! ?✨ Think pink, lacy, and topped with edible butterflies – the ultimate whimsical ensemble!
With my pancake breakfast and a delicious Welsh cream tea in my tummy, I ventured towards the historic Neath Castle. Now, I’m no stranger to castles – remember my epic castle tour in Scotland? ? But, this one really knocked my socks off – or maybe I should say, my tutu off! It sits on a cliff overlooking the valley and gives you the most incredible views. I spent hours exploring its ancient halls, lost in its history, and, of course, took a million and one photos! ?
Next up on the agenda was a ballet class with the most delightful group of locals. I always feel at home in a ballet studio. The energy is electric – all those beautiful movements and expressions. My heart swells with joy seeing everyone – children and adults alike – come alive in those classes. They all have their own reasons for loving ballet, and, like me, they all see its power to uplift and inspire. ??
It’s been an absolutely lovely day here in Neath! I love how the town still retains its original charm whilst embracing a vibrant, creative spirit. They’re even trying to attract visitors by holding exciting arts and craft festivals – maybe a pink tutu workshop for the townies is in order! ?
This journey through Wales continues tomorrow – and you can bet your bottom dollar, it’s going to be pink-tutu-tastic!
Love, Emma xx
