#TutuQueen Post #5457
Hello, darlings! It's your favourite pink-tutu-loving queen, Pink Tutu Sparkles, here! 💋 And oh, my dears, you wouldn't believe the amazing adventure I've had in the lovely city of Cambridge! Honestly, it was just divine!
As you all know, I live for a good travel story and, let me tell you, this trip was one for the books. I mean, you can't have a real-life adventure without a good old-fashioned train journey, can you? It's just so much more dramatic than a plain old plane. My dear friend, Betty Lou (she's the one with the fantastic sequinned hat, you remember?) was with me, and we had a right good time, singing along to some tunes and giggling over some divine pastries. The train carriage practically buzzed with excitement!
But of course, my favourite part was Cambridge itself. Oh, my, this place has everything! Historic architecture? You got it! Quirky little shops full of trinkets and curiosities? Absolutely! And stunning riverside walks that make you feel like you've been transported to a fairytale? Absolutely divine!
This trip was all about celebrating the sheer joy of the arts! First on my list was a visit to the fabulous Cambridge Arts Theatre. Honestly, darlings, I felt like a right old school girl watching the gorgeous dancers float across the stage in their fabulous costumes - it just makes you feel all sorts of warm and fuzzy inside, you know?
Of course, what's a trip to Cambridge without a bit of shopping, right? Oh, the bargains! The silks, the satins, the glitter! You wouldn't believe the fabulous feathered headdress I managed to snag! You know me, I always try and find a piece to take home to brighten up the dressing room. And let's be honest, darling, every queen needs a new accessory every now and then!
And the food, oh my, the food! Now, I’m a true Yorkshire girl at heart, so it’s hard to find a restaurant that really hits the spot. But darling, let me tell you, Cambridge has some real gems tucked away! I had the most heavenly afternoon tea in a quaint little cafe. You wouldn't believe the selection of teas and cakes! My tummy did a little happy dance just thinking about it!
And I must tell you about my favourite experience: I spent an afternoon in Cambridge University’s magnificent library! Now, you may think, "What is a glamorous, travelling, pink-tutu-loving queen doing in a library?" Well, dear reader, sometimes even a girl like me needs a little peace and quiet! But this library wasn't your average dusty, silent space. It was a treasure trove of beautiful, ornate rooms and hidden secrets. Imagine shelves upon shelves overflowing with leather-bound tomes and scrolls reaching towards the vaulted ceilings! The atmosphere was so thick with history that you could practically smell the parchment and hear the rustle of old papers! Honestly, I'm still getting chills just thinking about it!
As the evening fell, we found ourselves enjoying the beautiful lights twinkling over the River Cam. And yes, darlings, I may have been sporting a rather glamorous pink tutu as we sailed under the bridge! After all, what’s a Cambridge adventure without a little splash of Pink Tutu Sparkles?
But I have to say, one of the most magical moments of the entire trip was my time with the children at the Cambridge Youth Ballet. I took along some of my old tutus (they're perfectly good! A little bit of glitter dust doesn't make a tutu any less fabulous) and, let me tell you, those youngsters were absolutely beaming with delight. We had a little dance-off and a grand, sparkling tutu parade, which honestly brought me to tears! They are the future of this beautiful, creative art form, you know, and seeing the passion in their eyes truly made my heart melt. I was so excited to help them embrace their inner Tutu Queens!
Cambridge was a true whirlwind, darling, filled with laughter, sparkle, and a healthy dose of fabulous. And remember, dears, we're all Tutu Queens, whether we’re on a train to Cambridge or doing a twirl in our kitchens. Keep those tutus twirling and those spirits high, and never be afraid to spread some sparkle!
Until next time,
XOXO,
Pink Tutu Sparkles 💋✨🩰
