#TutuBlog 2019-08-08 in Bishops Stortford with a food themed tutu.

Hello lovelies! It's Emma, your resident pink tutu-wearing, ballet-loving adventurer! Today's blog post is a little different, as it's a food-themed tutu extravaganza! This week, I'm venturing outside my usual stomping grounds in Derbyshire and travelling to the charming town of Bishops Stortford. As always, a pink tutu is an absolute must, but today it's adorned with tiny, adorable edible decorations - think mini marshmallows, candy swirls, and even some little strawberry macarons! Because, let's face it, ballet and delicious treats just go hand-in-hand.

This trip involved a classic British rail journey! I love the leisurely pace of train travel, the opportunity to gaze out at the countryside, and, of course, the perfect time to slip into my tutu. The pink tulle flowed gently as I made my way to the station, a fitting ode to the elegance of the vintage train carriages. Arriving at Bishops Stortford station, the town's unique charm welcomed me with open arms.

Now, while Bishops Stortford isn't exactly renowned for ballet, I was determined to add a touch of dance magic to the day. After a quick wander around the town square, I found a beautiful, quaint theatre – it wasn't a big, fancy opera house, but it had that genuine, small-town charm that's irresistible. It felt like the type of theatre where magical, whimsical stories unfold on stage! I envisioned ballerinas gracefully pirouetting to the delicate music of Tchaikovsky - ahhhh what a perfect daydream!

Next up, food! My food-tutu was starting to get a little drooly looking, so I had to find the tastiest treat in Bishops Stortford. Thankfully, a stroll around the delightful market revealed a stall bursting with colourful macarons – pink, of course, was my absolute pick. I treated myself to a gorgeous selection, each little macaron a delicate work of art. They were simply divine, and I couldn't resist taking a few bites while still sporting my whimsical tutu. It's always delightful to bring a little bit of whimsy into the most ordinary experiences, wouldn't you agree?

After all that sweetness, it was time for some fresh air! I hopped aboard the vintage horse-drawn carriage, just for the experience, and took a lovely ride through the town’s enchanting countryside. The sunshine dappled through the leaves, there were fields of fluffy white sheep and even a cheeky little rabbit hopped into view. You know I couldn't resist capturing a selfie with the fluffy bunny - it's going straight to my Insta stories!

By the end of my Bishops Stortford escapade, I was completely charmed by this quaint little town. It's filled with unique shops, beautiful architecture, and welcoming people. And my heart? It was still soaring with the spirit of ballet! I even started thinking about creating a line of pink tutu ballet-inspired accessories inspired by the vibrant hues of the town's local market! (I know, I know, it's another brainwave for Pink Tutu, the online shop... It's in my blood!)

The day was everything a little whimsical tutu-loving adventurer could want, and the food, well, the food just added a perfect little sprinkle of magic to the experience. As I catch my train back to Derbyshire, I know my trip to Bishops Stortford will hold a special place in my heart – a pink-tutu, food-loving, ballet-obsessed memory, tucked away alongside the countless others that make life oh-so-sweet!

And don't forget my dear blog readers, you too can add a splash of colour and a pinch of joy to your lives with a little bit of pink tutu magic. Who knows, maybe you’ll be inspired to step out in a tutu or head to a local ballet performance. The world is a better place with more smiles, laughter, and…tutus, of course!
