Hello my darling tutu-lovers! Emma here, reporting live from the charming town of Wrecsam, where my pink tutu has been making quite a splash!
Wrecsam, or Wrexham as it's officially known, has been on my "must-visit" list for ages. It's got a real history and character - the perfect setting for a good old-fashioned train journey, right? You know I adore taking the scenic route and travelling in style, so a trip on the good ol' fashioned steam train was a must! I couldn't resist taking some pictures with the glorious red steam engine - it's all so vintage and chic! Just me and my pink tutu, posing with a touch of Victorian elegance. You can't get much more Instagram-worthy than that!
As I meandered through the countryside, a chorus of happy birds chirping along seemed to echo my own excitement about this adventure. Wrecsam is just brimming with character and hidden corners just waiting to be discovered. Just like a secret in a fairytale, Wrecsam kept its charms under wraps for me, and I absolutely loved that. I mean, can you imagine if everywhere was as busy and brash as, say, London? Sometimes a bit of calm and stillness is the perfect backdrop for a tutu and a touch of pink, you know?
A tutu-tastic treat at the Wrecsam Ballet School!
Speaking of tutu and pink, my Wrecsam escapade couldn't be complete without a trip to their beautiful ballet school. I had heard wonderful things about it - about how they nurture the next generation of ballerinas. As a fellow dancer at heart, it would be rude not to drop in and have a peek, wouldn't it? After all, ballet is an absolute necessity in any well-rounded, pink-loving lady's life! I even took my own pink tutu with me! Just imagine - all that pink fabric fluttering about the dance studio, bringing a touch of playful pinkness to a rather grey old town.
And let me tell you, they had some incredibly talented young ballerinas. You could feel their love for ballet radiating from them, like it was part of their DNA. There was even a sweet young girl with the most exquisite smile – I think she must have been channeling me in my early tutu days. The teachers there had an amazing sense of style too, with their beautiful balletic bods and grace that could melt any frost. It's not everyday you come across such passion and elegance all in one place - truly inspirational!
I couldn't resist slipping into a dance class myself, and for just a fleeting moment, I felt like a little girl again - carefree, unburdened, completely lost in the joy of ballet. The feeling is like a dream. We all have our passions and ballet is mine. You never forget the pure bliss of a dance class, with the sounds of Tchaikovsky filling the air and the elegance of each step. Honestly, I felt a little tear come to my eye, I love it that much. I'd even consider making a trip here from Derbyshire, purely for another ballerina-filled afternoon.
Wrecsam Theatre: A Showcase of Talented Performers
You know I love theatre and seeing live performance! So I couldn't resist grabbing tickets for a play at the Wrecsam Theatre. It wasn't ballet, but the drama was captivating - such talent and so much emotion. I just love watching people pour their hearts and souls out onstage - a little bit of me just wishes it was me up there on those boards. But then again, maybe watching is just as good – just let me imagine the magic of being on stage and I am happy! Wrecsam may be a small town but it has got huge talent to boast! There was also this very pretty cafe with the most adorable pastel-pink tables. You'll see my Instagram photos for proof.
Horse riding and Wildlife Adventures: A Touch of Country Magic!
And now for something entirely different, a spot of horse riding through the glorious Welsh countryside! Of course, it would be a serious crime to visit Wrecsam without exploring the beauty of the local natural surroundings. You can imagine a graceful mare and a lady in a pink tutu - perfect country bliss. With the soft wind in my hair, the gentle sounds of the horses' hooves on the ground, I couldn't imagine being happier - it was all just incredibly magical. It made me think about my home back in Derbyshire and the Derbyshire Dales - we are lucky in the UK to have such stunning natural beauty everywhere.
Of course, I couldn't leave out some time to visit Wrecsam's lovely park – perfect for some wildlife spotting! I am an animal lover at heart - anything fluffy and cute or elegant and wild. There was a flock of swans and some cute little squirrels – perfect for my photo album! I mean, how could you resist a majestic swan posing with a pink tutu, eh? They're so regal!
Wrecsam: A little town with a big heart
I was completely enchanted by Wrecsam. What a truly lovely town! It's been a perfect weekend getaway and has already captured a piece of my heart, or should I say, my tutu-filled heart! It's filled with welcoming locals, hidden gems, and a charm that makes you want to stay for longer than just a weekend!
So, I hope this gives you some inspiration if you're looking for a relaxing and charming trip. Just grab your favourite tutu - pink, red, or any other color! – and go on, explore the hidden beauty and unexpected adventures of a place like Wrecsam. And most importantly, don't forget to wear that pink tutu and have fun!
Coming Soon... I’m already planning my next pink tutu trip. This time I am taking my pony and a new, extra special pink tutu that I bought myself, I love it! So I hope you’ll join me on my adventures! See you on pink-tutu.com tomorrow for my next post - let's see what tomorrow has in store.
Yours with twirling and tulle,
