Hello darlings! Pink Tutu Sparkles here, bringing you the latest from my fabulous travels, post number 4458, as always, available for your viewing pleasure at www.pink-tutu.com. Today's journey takes us to the charming town of Saint Albans, a place steeped in history, and absolutely bursting with pink tutu potential!
As I mentioned in my last post, I've got this rather fabulous hankering to take a train ride every now and then. Something about the gentle rocking of the carriage and the passing scenery just gets my creative juices flowing, plus it allows me to really own my look without any pesky road congestion. This trip to Saint Albans was no exception - I slipped into a lovely lavender tutu with matching lavender-and-pink feather boas and, armed with my favourite pink lipstick, hit the tracks for a fabulous day trip.
It's fair to say Saint Albans doesn't disappoint when it comes to things to do. I started my day with a wander around the market. The smells were divine - fresh bread, vibrant fruit, and even some homemade fudge! Now, you all know my motto - if it's pink, it's a yes from me, so it was with much glee that I picked up a box of delicate pink macarons. My insides squealed with delight - I do love a little treat now and again. 😉
With my sugar rush secured, I popped over to the Cathedral for a quick visit. Talk about a historic treat! You just get that feeling of wonder and awe walking inside a place so ancient and filled with stories. And, yes, it did occur to me what a fabulous pink tutu backdrop the building would make for a photoshoot! A good dose of history and some fabulous photo ops, what more could a gal ask for?
Feeling suitably inspired by all things historical and sparkly, it was time for a bit of culture, so I booked myself a spot in a ballet class at the local dance school. Now, I've been doing ballet for ages - I even took a class during my science degree! I won't lie, my classmates found it quite amusing to see this scientist-by-day, queen-by-night strut her stuff in a full-length tutu, but honestly, ballet is a part of me, a core piece of my sparkle. It was so lovely to be back in a class, surrounded by all those tutus and flowing movements. You just can't beat that feeling!
Speaking of tutus, I couldn't leave Saint Albans without hitting up the local theatre, now could I? There was this fantastic production of "The Nutcracker" - a show I always cherish. A trip to the ballet wouldn't be complete without a new sparkly headpiece and a fancy bag to house it in! And you'll be surprised by what they had in this shop... I'm talking a pink feather boa with sparkly sequins and a little matching bag! A gal can't resist, honestly!
Before leaving for the train station, I had to grab some supper. Now, I've mentioned my love for macarons, but let me tell you - Saint Albans really does have the most delightful food scene! After trying some traditional fish and chips and a hearty bowl of creamy soup (all while rocking my fabulous, perfectly pink nails!), I settled down on a park bench, soaking in the views, people watching, and even indulging in a few impromptu twirls, with a little sprinkle of magic from my favourite pink glittery hand cream!
So, that's my St Albans journey, a pink tutu-infused, whirlwind of history, ballet, sparkle, and delicious food.
As always, my lovelies, remember: Pink is a feeling, a state of being, a choice. So don't be shy! Embrace your inner sparkle and rock that pink tutu - I believe in you!
Stay tuned for my next adventures - it's going to be spectacular!
