Hello darlings! It’s Emma here, bringing you another day of tutus, twirls, and travel tales from your favourite Derbyshire ballerina. Today, I’m buzzing with excitement because I'm on a little adventure in the lovely town of Coalville, and let me tell you, it's a real treat!
Now, I’ve always loved the idea of exploring new places by train, so I hopped on a carriage this morning, feeling like I was stepping into a fairytale. It was the most delightful journey – imagine, gazing out of the window as the world whizzed past in a kaleidoscope of colours, all while enjoying a good book and a little slice of Victoria sponge. Honestly, it was the perfect way to start my Coalville escapade.
As soon as I stepped onto the platform, the charm of Coalville hit me like a wave of pink tulle! It’s such a quaint town, with charming shops tucked away in winding streets and the friendliest locals I’ve ever met. Everyone’s been so welcoming, even offering me tips for finding the best bakery (let's just say, I'm going back for more of their fabulous lemon drizzle cake!).
But the reason I’m in Coalville, my dear readers, is something quite special – a little ballet performance! The local community theatre group is putting on a production of “Swan Lake”, and let’s just say, my heart is doing a little pirouette at the thought of witnessing such a beautiful spectacle. They have a reputation for fabulous costumes, so I'm already dreaming of all the dreamy tutus and glittering jewels they might have in store for this enchanting production.
Of course, my outfit for this ballet evening is just as glamorous. My pick for Coalville? My brand new "Ruby Rose" tutu. It’s a vibrant fuchsia pink with delicate layers of shimmering tulle and a matching satin sash that ties in a perfect bow at the back. It’s a perfect blend of classic elegance and modern flair. I even matched it with a pair of vintage opera gloves that I snagged at a little antique shop in Bakewell on my way here – total vintage vibe!
The evening is all set for a perfect combination of art and culture. After the show, I'm planning to take a moonlit walk in the nearby National Forest – rumour has it it’s full of amazing wildlife! There’s nothing quite like getting some fresh air and admiring the natural beauty of the countryside.
And before I sign off for today, darling readers, remember my mission? To get everyone in a pink tutu, and, of course, to encourage everyone to embrace the beautiful art of ballet! Don’t be afraid to try it. Every graceful move and elegant leap is a joyful adventure in itself, and it can be so much fun to learn. And hey, maybe you'll even find a little bit of your inner ballerina in the process!
Until tomorrow, my lovely readers, keep twirling, keep dreaming, and don’t forget to wear your pink!
Much love,
Emma
