Hello darlings! Your Tutu Queen, Pink Tutu Sparkles, here, and oh my goodness, what a glorious adventure I've had in the beautiful town of Droitwich! I'm back with a brand new post, full of sparkle and sass, just like my signature pink tutu. And let me tell you, this trip was a real treat.
So, let's rewind to yesterday. The sun was shining, the birds were singing (though I think I was probably louder!), and I was practically bouncing on the platform at Droitwich Spa station, full of anticipation. You see, this trip was a dream come true - a perfect blend of theatre, fabulous fashion, and a little touch of countryside charm.
As a seasoned tutu-clad traveller, I have to say, trains are definitely my favourite way to get around. There's something so utterly romantic and elegant about them, don't you think? I can sit back, admire the passing scenery, and perhaps indulge in a spot of writing, planning my next sparkly performance, or simply enjoying the gentle rhythmic clatter of the wheels on the tracks. It's a total zen moment, and much more stylish than being stuck in a car with everyone staring!
And of course, the most important thing: it allows me to dress to the nines without a care in the world! My trusty pink tutu, my fabulous sequined jacket (a gorgeous vintage find from a lovely little shop in Derbyshire!), and my sky-high platform heels, a perfect match for my sparkly pink handbag! Oh, the joy of a fabulously dressed journey!
I must admit, there's also something magical about watching the world go by. My favourite part of this journey was cruising through the Worcestershire countryside. The lush green fields, the charming little villages, and the quaint country houses just seemed to sparkle with a special kind of magic.
But let's be honest, my dears, it's the destination that truly makes a trip sparkle. And Droitwich did not disappoint. As soon as I stepped off the train, I was transported into a world of pink delights. The air was filled with the sweet aroma of wildflowers, and the cobbled streets were brimming with beautiful little shops, perfect for indulging in some retail therapy, of course.
Droitwich is known for its famous salt, and let me tell you, I didn't leave without trying a scoop or two. It was absolutely divine, just like a tiny bit of magic in your mouth! You just know this town is brimming with hidden treasures and I'm determined to uncover them all.
First stop, a beautiful little theatre called the Droitwich Arts Centre, for a wonderful afternoon ballet class! The lovely teacher, Miss Fiona, was absolutely divine, with a grace and charm that just oozed from every pore. She took us through a graceful ballet routine, helping us all to perfect our pirouettes, grand jetés, and graceful arabesques. Oh, to feel so beautiful and light, my heart truly did leap with joy.
Of course, I wouldn't be a proper Pink Tutu Sparkles if I hadn't dressed the part. A gorgeous peach tutu with tulle layers that whispered softly in the air, a flowing lilac silk top that clung to my figure in a most flattering way, and my trusty pink platform heels, topped with an equally pink sparkly headband. My Tutu Queen persona just wouldn't have been complete without them.
Now, a quick trip to a delightful little tea shop, The Buttercup Tearoom, with its perfectly dainty pink teacups, was a must! I must confess, I devoured a whole pot of delicious Earl Grey tea (so civilized!) with the most decadent strawberry and cream cake. I might have also been seen merrily humming a little showtune (a tiny detail!).
Next up was a very special treat – the magnificent Droitwich Spa itself! Just as elegant as I expected, and so reminiscent of those iconic Regency novels. There I wandered around, taking in the beautiful architecture and admiring the magnificent parkland that surrounds the spa. My heart just overflowed with happiness, so picturesque it was!
For my final touch of Droitwich Glamour, I simply had to find the perfect souvenir to take home with me. That, my dear readers, is how I found my way to "The Tutu Emporium" - yes, a real, honest-to-goodness shop full of gorgeous tutus, in every color imaginable! It was almost impossible to leave empty-handed. Almost. After much deliberation, I found a soft pink, tutu adorned with sparkling crystal stars - perfect! You just know it will make an appearance on the stage sometime soon.
Droitwich, my sweet, your charm has stolen my heart! This trip has filled me with an energy, a joy, a…dare I say, Tutu Power, that will last me through to the next performance.
Stay tuned, my lovely followers, as I plan more glamorous escapades - from charming countryside journeys to shimmering city adventures - each one infused with the vibrant spirit of Pink Tutu Sparkles! Until next time, keep those pink tutus ready!
With all my sparkly love,
Pink Tutu Sparkles
