Hello lovelies! Emma here, bringing you sunshine and twirls straight from the cobbled streets of Altrincham!
As you know, my quest for pink tutu domination knows no bounds - and today, my travels have brought me to this charming market town just outside of Manchester. I've been planning this trip for weeks, dreaming of dainty pastries, vintage shops, and a spot of ballet bliss at the Altrincham Garrick.
Now, I’m a girl who loves a good train journey - the rhythmic clatter of the tracks, the window view, and a good book (currently, it’s “The Secret History” by Donna Tartt - pure brilliance, darling!) – but today, I opted for a change of pace and a romantic ride in a horse-drawn carriage. Imagine, the gentle clip-clop of hooves on the road, the air fresh and crisp with a hint of spring, and a beautiful view of the Cheshire countryside - it’s just as idyllic as it sounds.
Altrincham itself is a little treasure - a blend of vintage shops, quaint tea rooms, and delightful art galleries. I just had to get a new addition to my ever-growing tutu collection – a delicate, lacy number with a pink and white floral design from a little shop tucked away in a cobblestone alley. It’s just perfect for adding a touch of whimsy to my next ballet class!
Speaking of ballet, my visit to the Altrincham Garrick was truly inspiring. I’ve always loved the smaller, more intimate theatres - you can really feel the energy of the performers. Tonight, it was "Giselle," a classic romantic ballet, and oh, the costumes! The dancers moved with such grace and precision, telling a story through every gesture, every flick of their wrists. I found myself utterly captivated, my own pink tutu forgotten in the moment!
But this isn’t just a trip about fancy dresses and high art. I'm a girl who appreciates nature’s beauty too. Altrincham has this stunning little park with a Victorian bandstand, hidden behind rows of quaint cottages. It was a perfect place to catch a glimpse of a couple of cheeky squirrels chasing each other up a tree - you know, finding some unexpected joy in the everyday things.
This whole day, from the gentle clip-clop of the carriage to the passionate leaps and twirls on stage, it's been about embracing those little moments of beauty and joy that make life so wonderful.
Now, back to Derbyshire! The train is waiting, and I’m filled with that familiar sense of excitement about my next adventure. I have a feeling, my lovelies, that it’s going to be a spectacular one!
**Until next time, keep twirling and spread those pink tutu vibes!
Love, Emma**
