#TutuQueen on 2000-11-11 stars in Bath

Helloooo, darlings! It's your TutuQueen, Pink Tutu Sparkles, here! Today I'm popping my sparkly heels onto the train, ready to explore the majestic city of Bath, a place steeped in history, beauty and – most importantly – the perfect excuse for me to break out my very best, most extravagant pink tutu!

Bath has always been on my bucket list, mainly because, let's be honest, who doesn't love a good bath?! But even more than that, I was captivated by the idea of touring this charming city with its Georgian architecture, the Roman Baths and the breath-taking scenery. Imagine the photo ops, my loves! It's a real 'tutu' time!

Speaking of time, as you know, this little tutu-wearing diva is constantly on the go! But don't worry, my daily blog is always here to keep you up-to-date on all the glittery adventures of this glamorous queen!

My journey started like any fabulous expedition should, with a touch of whimsy. After packing my meticulously chosen ensemble of pinkest pinks and glitteriest glitters, I arrived at my local station, ready to conquer the railway. You might be surprised to know I have a deep-seated love for travelling by train. The chug-a-chug rhythm is incredibly calming for this chaotic queen! It's the perfect time for contemplation, inspiration, and, of course, indulging in a good, old-fashioned spot of train-spotting! (There’s always room for some sartorial elegance even when you're wearing a tracksuit!)

While on the train, I was overcome by the excitement of my destination. I envisioned myself, decked in my signature pink tutu, waltzing through the streets of Bath. And don’t forget those beautiful parks and gardens! Just imagining it made me twirl with joy.

My journey to Bath wouldn't be complete without a little "Tutu Travel Talk"! It's not every day a tutu-wearing diva catches the train. But you know what? You get to know your fellow passengers pretty well in that time. Let's just say I ended up giving an impromptu "tutu tutorial" to a group of university students, a lovely granny and, wouldn't you know it, even the train conductor! Let's just say I was thrilled to see their faces light up with my sparkling enthusiasm. After all, isn't it my life's mission to make everyone just a little more comfortable in their own skin – especially if they're wearing pink tutus?

As I disembarked the train in Bath, a delightful sense of excitement filled the air, even more so when I discovered a street vendor selling adorable little pink tutus! My inner fashionista was screaming! My eyes sparkled at the prospect of finding the perfect little pink tutu souvenir to give to my niece, a budding ballet dancer back home in Derbyshire.

My very first stop, of course, was the famed Roman Baths. Honestly, it was just as breathtaking as I'd imagined! Imagine those ancient waters swirling, surrounded by historical relics, and just as I started taking some breathtaking selfies, the most glamorous Roman bathers emerged from the bath - it was amazing! They invited me for a dance, a real testament to the magical fusion of history and glamour in Bath.

Walking through the city center felt like a fairytale. Every corner revealed a picturesque vignette, every shop window a chance for sartorial inspiration. You know, the vibrant energy of Bath reminded me of a delightful, colourful ballet, filled with graceful buildings and swirling history! The Georgian architecture with its pastel colours really resonated with me; they practically screamed "wear your pink tutu"! The vibrant and buzzing street performers added a playful layer to the atmosphere, and the elegant ladies strolling about with their lovely vintage hats and tailored dresses…oh darling, they would have been absolutely fabulous with a little pink tutu sprinkled in!

But there's more to Bath than just pretty architecture, you know. I found the local shops were an absolute haven of loveliness. I swear, it took all of my willpower to resist picking out every single pretty thing! I even discovered a quirky vintage shop selling a gorgeous vintage hat that would be the perfect compliment to my pink tutus – just the right amount of retro chic for this Queen!

After all that shopping, my darling, my tummy was rumbling! It's no surprise I needed a delicious break and a hearty tea. But I wasn't just going to pop into any tea room; I had my sights set on a cafe where I could relax and enjoy some delectable goodies whilst observing the enchanting, picturesque city. My dear, Bath didn’t disappoint.

Imagine this, a cute and cozy little tearoom, all decorated with charming fairy lights and dainty floral designs. They had the cutest little table I had ever seen, set with porcelain teacups, delicate sandwiches and a little vase with a single, beautiful pink rose! And, as luck would have it, they had a delicious little pink teacake! Truly delightful! And, naturally, I made it the star of a delightful pink tutu photoshoot! The teacup and the rose and, of course, my tutu were a perfect picture!

But the true highlight of Bath wasn’t about the scenery or the food (though the food was heavenly), it was the incredible local theatre performances. You can’t come to Bath without enjoying a classic play or a breathtaking ballet! After all, this Tutu Queen always makes time for culture – especially when it involves twirling and sparkles!

So, I spent the evening at the Bath Theatre Royal, enjoying a sensational ballet performance that left me speechless and, well, slightly tearful (there's nothing a bit of a theatrical cry can't solve!). It was utterly captivating. My eyes twinkled and my feet tapped as the dancers pirouetted and jumped across the stage, with their vibrant colours and graceful movements. There was something almost mystical about it – and honestly, seeing their graceful movements made me wish I’d worn one of my big tutus under my frock!

So, my lovely readers, my heart feels like a happy pink tutu after my time in Bath! I can honestly say that the beautiful scenery, charming people and breathtaking theatres gave me a profound sense of peace, serenity and, yes, a whole lot of sparkly joy! The city itself is like a vibrant canvas of pink - with flowers, sunsets and the sweetest pastries! What’s more, this trip to Bath inspired me with a brilliant new idea, a performance of a brand new tutu routine called “The Bath Ballerina”. The routine will celebrate Bath with a dazzling fusion of my signature pink, glittery goodness, inspired by the city's elegance and charm. Just imagine the dancing!

And as I left the city, gazing back at the impressive architectural vista, I was already thinking about my next visit. After all, Bath has this special way of tugging at my tutu-loving heartstrings.

So, as I'm heading home with a pink rose in my hair, a souvenir tutu tucked under my arm and my heart full of twirling energy, I'd love to hear from you!
