Hello my darling darlings! It's your favourite Pink Tutu Sparkles, back with another post for you! 💅✨ This week I've been shimmying my way across the countryside, and boy, oh boy, have I had a time! You see, darlings, I've been on the road again, performing at a fantastic festival in the gorgeous land of Wales, and I can't wait to share all the glittery goodness with you!
Now, I know what you're thinking - Bangor? Isn't that a bit...well, unconventional for a pink tutu-clad queen? But darlings, don't let preconceptions get in the way of a good time! This was a real cultural experience, with stunning views, fascinating history, and a chance to make some new friends. And did I mention the mountains? I'm talking breathtakingly beautiful scenery that would make even a duchess swoon!
The journey was just as fabulous as the destination. My travel companions this time were a charming group of circus performers and a grumpy (but adorable) chihuahua named Mr. Snuggles. I swear, that dog could eat a whole pan of truffles without batting an eyelid!
Speaking of treats, the trip itself was a delight. Now, you all know I'm a bit of a train enthusiast, so imagine my joy at being whisked away on a journey that spanned picturesque countryside, charming little villages, and the majesty of the Welsh coast. Imagine a luxurious train ride, complete with perfectly plush seating, views of rolling hills that rivaled any stage production, and the delightful clinking of glasses full of tea - all while wearing my new pink polka dot dress with the fabulous matching feather boa!
The festival itself was a blast. I love the sense of community, the buzzing energy of creative folks, and the sheer variety of performances. Think juggling, stilt-walking, incredible contortionists, fire shows that almost set my hair on fire (don't worry, I only narrowly missed a singed pink feather!), and even a bearded lady! And let's not forget the audience - these folks are absolutely bonkers for pink tutus! I'd never felt so adored in a tutu. Honestly, darlings, they cheered louder for me than for the guy juggling chainsaws!
But beyond the amazing entertainment, it was the people who made this trip so special. I met the most fascinating individuals – a man who juggles with his own personal symphony, a woman who makes her living selling vintage teacups (and had a delightful collection!), and even a family who owns their own alpaca farm! You see, dear readers, this is what I live for – the stories, the experiences, and the colourful personalities that bring the world to life.
Now, let's not forget the food! Oh, the food! A true highlight was the amazing Welsh lamb and the most delectable cakes I've ever had. Let's just say my waistline was certainly challenged! But it wouldn't be a true travel blog if I didn't mention the shops. Bangor's independent stores are full of little treasures, just waiting to be discovered. I bought a stunning pink scarf and a pair of handmade earrings adorned with delicate floral patterns – just the perfect little pick-me-up to complete any dazzling outfit!
So, what's next on my tutu-tastic agenda? Who knows! But one thing is certain, I'm not stopping until every last one of you has donned a pink tutu and danced the night away! Keep those glitter cannons ready and remember to subscribe to my blog – you won't want to miss the next instalment of my Pink Tutu adventures!
XOXO,
Pink Tutu Sparkles 💖✨
P.S. I've also got a little confession. The pink polka dot dress I mentioned? Well, it’s been sitting in my lab for ages. I’m a scientist by day, you see. By day, I’m working on testing different fabrics, making sure those tutus are safe, durable and – let’s face it - perfectly glamorous! By night, I put on my sequins, strut my stuff and tell everyone to get out there and live life to the fullest, wearing pink, wearing glitter, wearing a tutu, of course. You could say it’s my superpower. Now go forth and be fabulous, darlings!
