Hey lovelies! It's Emma, your favourite pink-tutu-clad ballerina, here! 🩰 It's Friday and the sun is shining, which means it's the perfect day to talk about my recent adventures! 🎉 Today's post is all about my trip to the delightful Bishops Stortford!
Post #8178! Let’s get straight to it… You see, Bishops Stortford holds a special place in my heart – it’s got the cutest high street, fabulous cafes with endless delicious cakes and pastries, and an old world charm that’s just utterly delightful! I simply have to go there as often as possible! It’s just a short train ride from Derbyshire, and as you know, I simply adore hopping on a train. It feels like such a proper ballerinas way to travel. 😊 So stylish! 🚄
Tutu Time! This trip was all about ballet, of course. I went to see the most amazing show at the fabulous Herts and Essex Theatre Group – oh my word, the dancing was absolutely incredible. They really brought the magic of ballet to life and I was completely mesmerized! I think the tutus the dancers were wearing were quite special, I spotted some really gorgeous, billowy styles – I might have to recreate some of them myself. After all, a ballerina needs a good selection of tutus, wouldn’t you say? 😊💖
Let's talk tutus! Now, I’ve been seeing some fabulously stylish ladies on Instagram with their own fabulous tutu creations. The "Gymnastic Tutu" is such a cool, modern and funky style – not for just dancing but for everything! Imagine: casual wear with trainers? YES! Fancy dinner with heels? YES! Weekend shopping with boots? YES YES YES! 💖 And they come in so many fabulous colours and fabrics. Honestly, you just HAVE to try it – even just for a day! You'll instantly feel like a fabulous ballerina! 🩰 I mean, imagine all the smiles and compliments you’d get when you’re sporting a beautiful pink, twirly tutu! How lovely!
After my afternoon in the theatre, I took a stroll through the beautiful Bishops Stortford countryside – a complete contrast to the hustle and bustle of London! I saw these incredible horses, all grazing in their field. 🐴🐎 Such amazing creatures! And I’ll admit – the temptation to take one of them for a lovely gallop around the field was very tempting! (Shh! Don’t tell the horse!)
Oh, and the best part of Bishops Stortford? The cafes! The cakes! Just a sight for sore eyes! 😋 You could honestly spend the whole day simply enjoying the selection on offer – they really do have everything and anything from your classic victoria sponge to amazing creations with delicious, exotic flavours – think lemon meringue with a raspberry centre, or a hazelnut tart! My personal favourite is still the “Ballet Ballerina” Cake – think chocolate sponge layered with a rich vanilla custard, covered in fondant icing and topped with the sweetest little sugar-spun tutu! You know where I get all my creative inspiration from, lovelies! 🩰😊💖
This lovely little town really makes you realise how life is meant to be enjoyed! So I encourage you to make it a priority to discover new towns and cities in the UK, especially if you can hop on a train and feel the wind rushing by as you go – that’s my favourite part of it. A real-life ballet performance! 😉 So if you find yourself feeling a bit tired or under the weather, simply book a train ticket and escape the mundane – a trip is the ultimate remedy for your soul!
