Hello darlings! It's Emma here, ready to share another adventure from my pink-tinted world! Today, we're heading to Oxford, the city of dreaming spires and intellectual prowess. But, fear not, I'm bringing my feather tutu along for the ride. After all, even Oxford can use a dose of sparkle, right?
A Journey Through Time and Tutus
I have to confess, I'm a bit of a train enthusiast. The rhythm of the tracks, the scenery flashing by, it's so romantic and peaceful. It feels like stepping back in time, a beautiful escape from the hustle and bustle of life. My trip to Oxford was no different, and the plush leather seats of a vintage carriage were the perfect way to kick off my day.
As the train gently rolled into Oxford Station, I felt the excitement building. There's a certain magic about this city, an energy that whispers stories of history and scholarly whispers. And, well, the cobbled streets just begged to be twirled on.
Ballet Blooms in Oxford Gardens
First on the agenda, a stroll through the beautiful Botanical Gardens. The vibrant blooms, the scent of jasmine in the air - it was like stepping into a Monet painting. It felt almost sacrilegious not to pirouette under the towering trees, with my feathery tutu fluttering around me. I snapped a few photos, a lovely contrast of pink tulle against lush greenery. You can find them over on my Instagram, if you want to check them out! (@emmathetutu)
But my journey was far from over. Next, it was off to the Oxford Playhouse, one of the most famous regional theatres in the UK. There's a ballet company performing there this week, and, let me tell you, my heart was fluttering like a butterfly in a tutu! The story was about a young woman discovering her passion for dance and, oh, it brought a tear to my eye. Not just the poignant narrative, but the sheer talent and dedication of the dancers. They were absolute powerhouses on stage, reminding me that my love for ballet truly runs deep.
A Parisian Pastry Pit Stop
After a delicious lunch (with a delightful, oh-so-French patisserie as dessert!), it was time to delve into some of the local history. The Ashmolean Museum beckoned, its grand entrance framing centuries of history within its walls. I got lost in a world of Egyptian hieroglyphs, Grecian sculptures, and dazzling artwork, mesmerised by the sheer scale and detail of it all. But, a dancer must move, so after a few hours of quiet contemplation, it was back out to the sunny streets.
Horseback Through the Oxfordshire Countryside
To truly appreciate the rolling hills and the timeless charm of Oxfordshire, there was only one way to experience it – on horseback! The gentle trot, the breeze on my face, and the breathtaking scenery...it was truly the perfect end to my day. And of course, no horseback riding session is complete without a little tutu-twirling by the river. Just picture it: the vibrant pink against the serene emerald backdrop! Pure magic.
Tutu Adventures Await
I left Oxford with my heart full, my soul soothed, and my head buzzing with new inspiration. There's a beauty in travel that can't be replicated, and, for me, that magic is heightened when I wear a tutu. I can't wait for the next adventure, dear reader!
But until then, remember to embrace your own passions. Whether it's twirling on a cobbled street in Oxford or chasing butterflies in a Derbyshire meadow, find joy in the simple things. And maybe, just maybe, you’ll join me in the Pink Tutu Revolution! Because when everyone’s dancing, the world is a more beautiful place.
