Hello darlings!
It's your girl Emma here, back from another fab adventure! Today I took a whirlwind trip to Morden, which might sound a bit boring to some of you, but let me tell you, this little South London spot was bursting with tutu-worthy fun.
I'm not sure if it was the train journey – always an exciting adventure, especially with my head popped out the window, waving to the world! - or maybe the fresh air, but I was feeling particularly playful today. I'd packed my new black tutu – yes, black, because sometimes a girl just needs a bit of drama in her life, don't you think? – and I couldn't wait to twirl it in a new setting.
Now, you might be thinking "Emma, Morden?! What's there?" And to that, I say, hold your horses! This little town was a revelation. I'd heard whispers of the Morden Underground, a labyrinth of tunnels, supposedly haunted by the spirits of past passengers. Ooh, spooky! Though I haven't quite summoned the courage to explore it yet. But maybe next time!
Speaking of brave adventures, did you know there's a whole Wildlife Park in Morden? I can't believe I missed it before! This is the real deal – giraffes, lions, hippos, you name it! I had the best time watching these majestic creatures strut their stuff, their effortless grace reminding me of ballet in a way! (Don't tell anyone, but I even had a little dance with a very tame (and surprisingly graceful) goose.)
I spent the afternoon at the Morden Hall Park, which, bless its cotton socks, is completely free. It's an oasis in the middle of London, full of winding pathways and lush greenery. It felt like stepping out of a fairytale. I, of course, did my duty by taking some absolutely spectacular twirling photos in front of the picturesque, flower-filled garden – let's just say my black tutu looked fabulous amongst all those vibrant colours. I'll be sure to share them with you later on Insta, you won't want to miss those!
But my adventure didn't end there. Morden, much like myself, has a bit of a sweet tooth! I discovered a charming bakery, and you guessed it, I indulged in a scrumptious slice of Victoria sponge (because even a princess needs a little bit of sugar, am I right?). And what better accompaniment to a cake and tea than a good old-fashioned singalong, eh? My beautiful pink tutu got quite a bit of attention when I broke out into a little performance of Swan Lake – even a granny with her little poodle joined in with some enthusiastic footwork! It was adorable, darling, I couldn't have dreamt up a better ending to my day.
And that, my lovely readers, is my story for you today. As I said, Morden wasn't just a day trip – it was an experience. So much more than a journey; it was a reminder of all the joy and wonder to be found in the everyday, even in places that seem unassuming. You don't have to travel far to have a wonderful adventure!
Just like the tutus and ballet shoes you see all over my website, each day is a chance to step into your own story and shine, darling! And always remember, pink tutus aren't just for ballet class, they're for life, my darlings. Wear your own version, spread the joy and dance your way to a brighter future!
Catch you later, my lovely readers,
Emma x
