Good morning darlings!
The sun is shining through my bedroom window, making everything feel so bright and sparkly. It's a perfect day for a girly adventure, and today's destination is Ashton, a charming little town just a stone's throw from the bustling city of Manchester. I'm feeling quite the whimsical spirit this morning, and I can't resist donning my favourite tulle tutu, a swirling cloud of pink perfection, and my sparkly ballet flats. A touch of colour, a touch of sparkle – what could be more fun?
But before we embark on this exciting journey, let me share with you a secret that I discovered last night while watching the stars glimmer above Derbyshire. Have you heard about this new ballet company in Manchester? It's called the 'Rainbow Butterflies', and their repertoire seems absolutely divine! It's got to be my next adventure, don't you think? I'm picturing the beautiful costumes, the swirling movement, the captivating stories... Oh, the magic! And what could be more delightful than sharing that magic with all of you? I'll keep you updated, my lovely lot, on my journey to catch one of their shows.
As for Ashton, today I'm off to explore the little gem hidden amongst the bustling towns of the North West. You wouldn't believe the amazing history of this place. Ashton's history dates right back to the Romans! I hear whispers of ancient treasures buried deep beneath the soil, secrets of long ago, and stories of bravery and adventure. What a perfect day for a delightful discovery.
Oh, and let me tell you about my travels! It's such a beautiful journey to get to Ashton. A relaxing train ride through fields of emerald green, and the air smelling of springtime even though autumn is knocking on our doors. You wouldn't believe the incredible wildlife I saw on the journey! I spied a family of deer leaping through the meadow, their elegant limbs like the flick of a ballet dancer's feet, a cheeky fox exploring the hedgerows, and even a stately owl perched atop a telegraph pole, his golden eyes gazing at me with ancient wisdom. Mother Nature herself seems to be encouraging a little ballet in my heart today!
Arriving in Ashton, my heart just about fluttered with excitement. The streets, cobbled and lined with quaint shops, invited me to explore every nook and cranny. Imagine, darlings, shops filled with everything from antique trinkets to handmade lace, vintage treasures, and perhaps, just perhaps, a tutu or two! I must say, even I, the Queen of Tulle, am quite tempted to pick up a few trinkets to adorn my humble abode. After all, wouldn't a splash of pink just be perfect to cheer up my space?
But today, my dear friends, we're on a quest! Ashton is famed for its art galleries, brimming with beautiful paintings and sculptures that will ignite my inner ballerina. Every stroke, every sculpted line seems to whisper a story of graceful movements and beautiful art. Can't you imagine it, darlings? The flowing brushstrokes resembling the swirling limbs of a dancer, the colours bursting with the emotion of every ballet step? A real treat for the senses. I'll be sure to share my favourite discoveries with you in a later post, along with photos!
Don't worry though, my little cherubs! My adventure doesn't stop there! I'm absolutely smitten with Ashton's enchanting canal basin. Just picture it: water glittering under a brilliant blue sky, charming canal boats bobbing gently, a perfect backdrop for a ballet session! Now, imagine me, your favourite tutu-loving blogger, gliding across the stone pathways, twirling in the sunlight, surrounded by a beautiful canal symphony of ripples and laughter! This truly is a dancer's dream come true!
So, come along with me, darlings, as I embrace this magical day in Ashton! A town filled with history, art, and delightful whimsy. Let us soak in the beauty, find the magic in every corner, and spread the spirit of pink, sparkly joy wherever we go! And, don't forget to pick up your own tutu! Remember, life's a stage, and with every graceful step and whimsical twirl, we're all ballet dancers in our own enchanting dance!
See you in my next post!
