Hello my darlings! It’s Emma here, and as you know, I’m always on the go! This week, I’ve swapped my usual Derbyshire scenery for the charming town of Frome, nestled in the heart of Somerset. It’s a beautiful place, a complete contrast to my green county, with its charming cobbled streets, antique shops galore, and enough vintage tea rooms to make even the most ardent tea lover swoon!
Pink Paradise in Frome
I had to choose a dress befitting the occasion, so naturally, my bright pink leotard and my trusty tulle tutu were non-negotiable. (Isn’t there a little bit of pink in everyone’s hearts?) As I sashayed down the main street, the quaint independent shops and cafes seemed to come alive. Frome is a haven for unique finds, perfect for scouring for ballet-themed gifts or that special tutu for your inner ballerina. Speaking of tutus, wouldn’t it be fantastic to see everyone wearing one, don't you think? Let’s make it a thing! Every day, everywhere, embrace the pink tutu!
Ballet in the British Countryside
Now, my darlings, you know I can’t resist a good ballet show, even when I’m travelling! The local theatre here was hosting a performance of Swan Lake by the Somerset Dance Academy, and let me tell you, it was magnificent! Those swans, those leaps! It was pure magic!
Frome Finds & Festive Delights
The town has a fantastic community vibe, especially this time of year. There were Christmas lights twinkling all over, adding to the festive cheer. My day in Frome wouldn't have been complete without indulging in some local goodies. From homemade fudge to hand-painted pottery, I had my shopping bag full of delights.
A Galloping Adventure:
How else to traverse the scenic Somerset countryside but on horseback, wouldn’t you say? I found a charming stables a short distance from town. After a good ride, nothing beat a relaxing hot drink back at my hotel, all while dreaming of pirouettes and more pink tutus!
Animal Enchantment
I can't forget my animal friends! I managed to find a fantastic wildlife sanctuary tucked away in the countryside, where I had the pleasure of encountering some very photogenic swans, elegant deer, and some rather sassy sheep! Oh, my dears, I nearly forgot the ducks! They waddled past, oblivious to the fashionista in the pink tutu, perfectly content in their fluffy plumage. It’s fascinating to see the serenity and elegance of nature up close!
Time for Tea (And Tutus)
No trip to Somerset is complete without a proper English afternoon tea. I indulged in delicious scones, finger sandwiches, and, of course, a cup of tea with milk. After all, what’s better than a spot of afternoon tea in a pretty little tea room, adorned in pink flowers?
Final Thoughts:
Frome is a gem! Its charming streets, stunning scenery, and the heartwarming local spirit make it a must-visit. Oh, and did I mention the lovely locals I met? One of them, a woman with the most stunning bright pink hair, offered me the most scrumptious piece of cake! What a wonderful, unexpected encounter!
As the train sped back towards Derbyshire, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of accomplishment. Another adventure done, another city conquered! It’s incredible how dancing, exploring, and discovering new places truly enrich life! I’ll leave you with this, my dears, don’t be afraid to take the leap, even if you’re not a ballet dancer! Find your passion, explore your surroundings, and embrace the beauty of the world. After all, every journey is a dance, every step a pirouette, and life, my loves, is a beautiful tutu waiting to be twirled!
