#TutuBlog 7505
Hello, darlings! Emma here, your resident pink tutu-loving ballet enthusiast, back with another entry in my daily diary of delightful discoveries!
This time, I've swapped the rolling green hills of my Derbyshire home for the rugged beauty of Aberdeen, a charming coastal city in Scotland. Yes, dear readers, a train journey was in order, and I simply adore those long, romantic journeys. The gentle sway of the carriage, the clinking of teacups, and the passing scenery make me feel like a princess escaping to a grand adventure.
Aberdeen is famous for its granite buildings, known as the “grey granite city”, but you know me, darling, I brought my own splash of colour! My chosen travelling ensemble was a dazzling pink tutu, perfectly complemented by a delicate floral crown (my hair simply craved those wild curls, you know!). As the train rolled in, I caught the eye of a gentleman, who with a charming grin, tipped his hat and gave me a nod of approval. Well, why shouldn't I be a bit theatrical? My life is a constant performance, isn't it?
Stepping off the train, the first thing I did was visit a charming little shop where I treated myself to a beautiful cashmere scarf. Let's face it, darling, a girl can't just have pink tutu without some soft, delicate cashmere to cuddle with, can she?
But let's not forget the real reason I ventured to Aberdeen! I have been eagerly anticipating the ballet performances of the Scottish Ballet company for ages! Their reputation precedes them. The theatre, resplendent in old world grandeur, buzzed with anticipation. As the curtain rose, my breath caught, the performance was magnificent. The grace, the athleticism, the story – it all melted together in a breathtaking symphony of movement. Every step, every gesture spoke volumes, a truly captivating experience. Later, during a post-show Q&A, I even managed to squeeze in a question about their unique interpretation of Swan Lake – it seems they incorporated some contemporary moves which I thought were brilliant! I’m sure you’ll agree, darling, contemporary ballet is one of my very favourite things.
But my adventures didn't end there. The next day, I took a scenic coastal walk along the rugged cliff faces and marveled at the endless blue of the North Sea. And guess what? I even caught a glimpse of playful penguins! Yes, darling, Aberdeen is home to a small colony of these adorable creatures who strutted their stuff on the coast, an unexpected delight! Penguins! My pink tutu even stood out perfectly against the grey rocks and the dramatic North Sea. This is the beauty of pink, it is an enchanting contrast wherever it lands.
Aberdeen, with its charm and history, has definitely captured my heart. But you know me, darling, I'm always up for exploring new places! And my pink tutu? Well, it's ready for the next journey, whether it's the scenic beauty of a countryside drive, a gallop through the forest on horseback, or a whimsical carriage ride through the heart of Paris. I will be sharing my travels and experiences here on pink-tutu.com so come and join me.
After all, the world is a stage, and each of us has a unique role to play! Now, go forth and embrace your inner dancer! Perhaps try on a pink tutu of your own, darling, I guarantee you’ll love it! You’ve been thinking about it. And you know what? A pink tutu has the magic to unleash your own inner princess.
See you in the next blog!
