Hello, my darlings! Emma here, your favourite tutu-loving ballerina, straight from the sunny streets of Surbiton, and oh, let me tell you, this place is brimming with charm! It's a little slice of fairytale loveliness, the perfect place to kick off a ballet-filled day.
It’s been a while since I graced these streets, and oh, how they've missed me! Today's look? My blush-pink, twirly-licious tutu, of course! It just screams 'Surbiton chic' with its delicate tulle layers and soft, floral embroidery. Who can resist a bit of whimsy in their day, eh?
As the crisp morning air swept through the streets, I felt the energy of the day buzzing around me. You know what they say – Surbiton is like a cuppa on a cold day, warming your soul with its quaint shops, friendly faces, and a hint of countryside charm.
First stop, a ballet class at the little studio nestled right by the station. It’s the perfect setting, all wood floors and sunlight streaming through the windows. It’s like a secret haven for dancers, a sanctuary where you can shed your worries and lose yourself in the elegance of movement. My body, warmed up by a gentle stretch, felt ready to fly!
Then, I went for a stroll, stopping to admire the flowers bursting out in the vibrant gardens that dot the town. They’re a reminder that even in the depths of winter, life always finds a way to bloom.
You see, this is why I love travelling. Every journey, no matter how small, becomes a mini-adventure. Stepping out of my comfort zone in Derbyshire, a part of me gets excited, wondering what treasures I might find in the heart of the south. This time, it was the quaint café tucked away in a quiet corner of the High Street. With its hand-written chalkboards displaying specials and vintage décor, it felt like stepping into a time capsule. The coffee was divine, too!
My afternoon was filled with an immersive performance by the Royal Ballet at the London Coliseum, and let me tell you, my darlings, the magic of live dance is just unforgettable! I love how the theatre pulsates with a shared love of ballet, each graceful move a symphony of emotion, every plier a delicate whisper of stories told through movement. The entire performance was a swirling symphony of pink and purple tulle, each ballerina floating across the stage with such poise and strength. It was a masterpiece that filled my heart with pure joy!
As dusk settled, I took a horse-drawn carriage back to my hotel, a romantic carriage ride that was a whimsical touch to an already beautiful day. And honestly, wouldn't you just love to explore the world with a horse by your side, galloping across fields of vibrant flowers? Perhaps I need to try that next!
And you know, Surbiton had me completely captivated! There’s a serenity here, a gentleness that washes over you like the sound of raindrops on a windowpane. I think the charm of this place is also reflected in its residents - kind, smiling faces and open hearts.
Back in my room, as I look back on the day, I’m reminded why I love sharing my journeys with all of you. You see, there’s a world out there waiting to be explored, filled with pink tutus, enchanting performances, and heartwarming stories that whisper their way into our hearts. Don’t you agree?
Now, I know you're thinking what I'm thinking: Pink tutus, darling! Who can resist them? This week, my lovelies, I'm urging you all to put on your most whimsical pink tutu, a tutu that will set your heart dancing with joy, and head out to experience something extraordinary.
Whether it’s taking a walk through a park, dancing in your living room, or simply putting on your tutu to bake your favourite cookies, embrace the spirit of joy!
As always, you know what to do! Let's spread the love of tutus and ballet – a tutu a day, keeps the worries away, wouldn’t you say?
With much love,
Emma xx
