Hello darlings! Emma here, back with another post from my never-ending tutu-filled adventures. Today's jaunt took me south, alighting from the train in Morden, a sweet little spot in South London with a charm all its own. And as always, what's a girl to wear but a tutu? 😉
This time, I chose my classic black tulle masterpiece, a little edgy but still so pretty, because, let's be honest, a black tutu always makes a statement, don't you think? Black is just SO flattering on everyone, and I was channeling a touch of ballerina goth. 😎 I paired it with my favourite pink jumper, because let's be real, a dash of pink makes everything more delightful.
The weather was crisp, a little bit nippy, but just perfect for twirling, and twirling I did! First stop: a cosy café for a hot chocolate and a pastry. It's always essential to fuel up for a day of exploring, especially when there's tutu-wearing involved. As I savoured my treat, I couldn't resist a quick spin in the cafe courtyard, catching a few admiring glances from passers-by. See, even a simple coffee break becomes a ballet when you embrace your inner tutu queen!
Morden, for all its unassuming charm, holds a few delightful surprises. Did you know there's a stunning open-air market in the town square? I found a gorgeous vintage pin in the form of a ballerina shoe - it practically begged to adorn my black tutu!
Speaking of tutus, I was beyond excited to stumble upon a delightful little dance school called The Dancing Delights Academy. Oh, the magic of ballet! As I peeped through the window, I was enthralled by a class of little girls, so tiny and graceful in their tutus, performing their pirouettes and arabesques with such concentration. It truly melted my heart!
Morden also boasts a beautiful park, where I had to have a photoshoot with the iconic London skyline as my backdrop. You know me - a ballerina's life isn't complete without a few snaps for Instagram. 📸 I imagined myself in a performance on that very spot, dancing under the bright lights with the London Eye sparkling in the distance. It's all about envisioning the possibilities, darlings!
But my adventures weren't all about twirling and tutus. I indulged my inner nature enthusiast at the Morden Hall Park, which is an absolute haven for wildlife. The park's lake is teeming with swans, ducks, and geese - they all seemed to appreciate my performance of Swan Lake, right in their own pond! 😂 I also found a sweet little family of rabbits, all huddling together under a bush. They're so adorable, especially when they wiggle their tiny noses!
I even had a chance to try my hand at horseback riding. I love horses, they are truly elegant creatures, but it's been a while since I've been in the saddle. I'll admit, I'm a bit of a klutz when it comes to riding, but even a beginner needs to embrace the joy of galloping through the countryside! Imagine: a tutu-wearing, horse-riding ballet dancer! What could be more perfect? 😉
My trip to Morden reminded me of something very important, my darlings: no matter where you are, there's always a reason to embrace the beauty of life and your inner ballerina! 🩰
As always, I urge you to join me on this amazing journey! Don't be afraid to slip into a pink tutu, even if it's just for a day. And, why not pop down to your local ballet studio and give a class a go? You might just discover your hidden ballerina within. ✨
