Hey Tutu-ettes! 👋 It's Emma here, your resident pink-loving, tutu-wearing, ballet-obsessed blogger, ready to whisk you away on a magical journey from my Derbyshire haven to the charming town of Dunstable in sunny Bedfordshire! ☀️
As always, this travel-loving tutu-ist wouldn't dream of boarding a plane - not with all these enchanting train lines and rolling green hills. So, today's journey was a proper adventure, a scenic railway ride that took me through picturesque landscapes, dotted with quaint villages and ancient forests. 🚂
And you know me, my outfit was a tribute to the day's destination. My favourite pale pink tutu, all wispy layers and soft tulle, swayed gently as the train chugged along. Of course, no outfit's complete without a splash of colour - today's highlight was my darling coral pink beret, a statement piece that added a touch of Parisian chic to the English countryside aesthetic. 💕
I must tell you, Dunstable is a hidden gem! This charming town, tucked away in the heart of the Chilterns, is the perfect destination for a ballet enthusiast like myself. Imagine rolling hills, charming cobblestone streets, and a history steeped in tales of ancient castles and hidden caves - it's a setting straight out of a fairytale! 🏰
My day in Dunstable was a delightful mix of ballet, nature, and a whole lot of pink. My first stop was the glorious Dunstable Downs. The panoramic views from the top were simply breathtaking - imagine endless fields of swaying grasses and vibrant wildflowers stretching out to meet the horizon. The fresh air filled my lungs and brought a peaceful calm over me. The moment felt truly magical.
I felt so inspired, so ready to pirouette around these gorgeous landscapes. And my ballet class that evening in a quaint studio near the centre of Dunstable felt particularly magical. The room, bathed in soft pink lighting, reflected my own pink-hued world and the dancers' grace, passion, and energy reminded me why I love ballet so much. The studio even offered classes in ballet street and contemporary, which I might just have to try next week! 🩰
After the class, I couldn't resist a trip to the "Dunstable Downs Hotel" for a relaxing supper, their quaint outdoor patio illuminated by twinkling fairy lights. I relished the feeling of the fresh evening air against my cheeks and savoured the warmth of a truly magical day. It felt like the perfect way to finish off an adventurous journey. ✨
My time in Dunstable was a whirlwind of inspiration and magic, reminding me that there’s always a hidden gem to be discovered, a beautiful landscape to explore, and a reason to put on a pink tutu and dance with joy. I truly hope to return to this magical place and see more of what it has to offer!
