Hello my lovelies, and welcome to Pink Tutu Sparkles' daily blog! This is post number 4162, and I'm bubbling over with excitement to tell you all about my trip to York, a truly magical city!
First things first: the journey! I took the train, of course. I do love a good train journey - there's something so romantic about settling into a carriage, gazing out at the rolling countryside, and watching the world go by. And this time, I wore a beautiful floral dress, complete with a bright pink cardigan and, you guessed it, a shimmering pink tutu! I just can't resist an opportunity to spread the tutu love. 😉
When I arrived in York, I felt like I had stepped straight into a fairytale. Cobblestone streets, charming shops overflowing with trinkets and treats, and grand architecture that spoke of history and magic - I was instantly smitten!
And, you know I had to make a beeline for a local shop selling fabulous pink frocks, right? They had the most glorious pink satin gown with sparkling sequins, which, of course, I had to try on. You'd be surprised what a bit of pink sparkle does to the mood! I strutted out in it, and oh, it made me feel like a total princess. 👑
I spent the afternoon exploring the York Minster - such an awe-inspiring cathedral! I even snuck a little spin in the grounds in my pink tutu, just for good measure! After all, spreading tutu-tastic cheer is my duty, isn't it? 🩰
Now, no visit to York is complete without experiencing the delicious delights of its food scene. I indulged in a scrumptious afternoon tea at Bettys - their cakes were simply divine, especially the famous Fat Rascal. And what do you know, it came with a tiny pink rosette! It's like the universe knows my penchant for pink!
In the evening, I performed at a local pub, complete with a new, bespoke tutu (sparkly, of course!) designed just for the occasion! The audience was incredible, they loved my act and went absolutely wild! And you know what, I felt every bit the queen. ✨
Before leaving York, I made a pit stop at the York Theatre Royal - a beautiful theatre with a fascinating history. And as luck would have it, there was a ballet performance scheduled! It was truly breathtaking, and it sparked a whole new level of tutu inspiration for me. I couldn't resist joining the company's ballet class after the show - how could I resist? I just adore ballet. So graceful and elegant! And the teachers were such a delight, especially when I took a tumble and they all chuckled with amusement! 🩰
My time in York was short but sweet. I squeezed in a quick ride on the York Chocolate Experience horse-drawn carriage, savoured a traditional Yorkshire pudding and a plate of roast lamb (delicious!), and found time for a few last-minute souvenirs - a beautiful hand-painted pink ceramic mug for my collection, and a tutu-shaped keyring to remind me of this incredible journey.
I bid farewell to York with a heavy heart, but it's certainly not goodbye. I'll be back, darling, for more tutu-tastic adventures! 💖
As always, remember to stay sparkling, keep spreading the pink love, and don't be afraid to embrace your inner tutu queen! Until next time, darling, I leave you with a little mantra for your day:
Tutus make everything better. ✨
XOXO,
Pink Tutu Sparkles
