Hey everyone! It’s Emma here, bringing you a new blog post straight from the heart of Bristol! 🎉 Today's adventure was a whirlwind of tutus, theatre, and a whole lot of pink, all rolled into one fabulous day trip.
You guys know how much I adore a good train journey, and this one was no different. The sunshine streamed through the windows as I settled into my seat, my pink suitcase (yes, you guessed it, it's pink!) nestled comfortably by my side. I had to be super organised, of course, because, well, there's just so much to pack when you're taking your favourite tutus with you! And my favourite is, of course, the brand-new pancake tutu I got my hands on last week. You know, the ones with the layers that look like a stack of delicious pancakes? You’d think I was a princess heading to the palace, wouldn't you? 😁
My plan was to visit the Hippodrome Theatre in Bristol, home to the magnificent Grease musical. I'd been humming “Grease Lightning" all week, and couldn't wait to see this iconic musical come to life. You’re all going to love this, I can already feel it!
But, before I could get my fix of Rydell High and all those glorious songs, there was a bit of ballet magic I just had to experience first. Now, you know how much I love a good ballet class, and finding one that's nestled in the heart of Bristol was just too good to pass up. I mean, the studio was practically hidden, and only a true ballerina's intuition could have led me to the spot.
After a fun and energising hour of pirouettes and tendus, I emerged with that delicious feeling of accomplishment, knowing my ballet skills were getting sharper with every class. Plus, a ballet studio in Bristol was a perfect excuse to show off my new tutu - pink, of course! 💅🏻
My first impression of Bristol? It was an absolute delight! A perfect blend of city hustle and a charmingly quirky, relaxed atmosphere. There was even a delightful coffee shop I popped into with the most gorgeous rose latte you could imagine. Talk about Instagrammable! 🌸
Later, I stepped into the dazzling world of Grease. I swear, the whole auditorium was glowing pink with all the lights! And the music was just perfect. I was singing along before I knew it, right alongside the whole audience. Danny and Sandy… swoon! 😍 You guys are missing out if you haven’t seen Grease - the perfect blend of classic fun and timeless musical magic!
But the day wasn't over just yet! Bristol really surprised me. It turns out that a few minutes away from the theatre was the gorgeous Bristol Zoo Gardens. Now, you all know I’m a big wildlife fan, and I was so excited to spot the playful antics of the orangutans. And the cheeky penguins! Just adorable. 🥰
Before leaving Bristol, I treated myself to some truly delicious fish and chips by the waterside. They were so good! You guys know how much I love the classic, right? 😋
Bristol was everything I hoped for - full of vibrant energy, creativity, and hidden treasures waiting to be discovered. And my little ballet adventure definitely added to the fun! This is just the beginning, Bristol, because you and I are going to be great friends! 😊
I hope this has inspired you to get out and explore! Whether you take a train to Bristol, try a ballet class, or just take a stroll in the park, remember to wear a little pink and make every day a tutu day.
Love and twirls,
Emma
