Hello lovelies! It's Emma here, writing to you from the glorious city of Bangor!
I know, I know, it feels like I've been on the go non-stop lately, but that's just the way I like it. Life is too short to be stuck in one place, and anyway, who wouldn't want to be exploring the world in a pink tutu? 😉
This time, I swapped my trusty steed for a thrilling train journey - honestly, there's nothing quite like the gentle sway of a carriage as you hurtle through the countryside, watching the world go by. The landscapes in North Wales were particularly breathtaking, and the fresh air really got my creative juices flowing. I mean, even my pink tutu was feeling the vibe!
I know what you're thinking: Bangor? What on earth could possibly be in Bangor to inspire a tutu-loving, ballet-obsessed blogger like me? Well, I'll tell you. First of all, Bangor is nestled on the edge of the beautiful Snowdonia National Park. Seriously, imagine: mountains, lakes, and waterfalls all in one place? It's like a scene from a fairy tale! And what better way to appreciate the magic of nature than with a little twirl or two, right? 🩰
Of course, no trip to North Wales is complete without a spot of local culture, so I decided to check out the local ballet scene. The Bangor University Dance Society has a great reputation, and they definitely didn't disappoint. It was so inspiring to watch talented young dancers share their passion, their enthusiasm was just infectious. I'm thinking of maybe starting a dance society at my uni back in Derbyshire - it's all those big dreams of mine!
Of course, no trip is complete without some serious ballet shopping. And wouldn't you know it, a cute little boutique popped up while I was exploring Bangor's charming high street! It was called 'The Dancing Butterfly,' and it had the most delightful array of pink tutus you could imagine - and a few gorgeous black ones too for a bit of elegance! They even had some fabulous sparkly headbands - I had to snag one! You'll see it in my next Instagram post, I just know it! 😉
Now, I couldn't come all this way without checking out some wildlife, could I? Luckily, Bangor boasts an adorable little wildlife park - it even had a rather cheeky family of otters. The way they frolicked in the water was so graceful, it almost reminded me of the way I move in class... well, maybe not quite that graceful! 🤣 But they definitely inspired me. The otter's sleek movements are a reminder that even when it comes to dancing, there's something beautiful in embracing natural instincts.
My heart feels full, my soul is content, and I'm practically bursting with inspiration. Being in Bangor has made me want to twirl and leap even more, so keep an eye out for a whole lot more tutu-tastic posts in the weeks to come.
Remember, everyone can be a dancer, and everyone can wear a pink tutu! Just think: the world would be a much brighter, more fabulous place! ✨💖
And if you're ever looking for a place to let your inner dancer run free, Bangor is the perfect destination. I guarantee you won't regret it!
Until next time,
Emma
