Helloooo darlings! Your favourite pink-loving, tutu-wearing, travelling queen is back with another fabulous adventure! Today, I'm taking you all to Watford! Oh, the sheer thrill of being in a new place! I know it's a bit more on the quiet side than some of my recent travel spots, but don't worry, the tutu sparkle is about to erupt like a cherry blossom in spring!
Firstly, let me tell you about the journey! The train was the perfect way to get into the Watford mood – a lovely leisurely ride, letting my mind wander. I always bring a sketchbook on my travels and it just felt so chic, lounging on the train, doodling new outfit ideas while sipping on a peppermint tea. Plus, the station itself is rather charming, with those gorgeous old Victorian arches. You know me, a total sucker for anything Victorian and romantic.
But enough about my glamorous journey, let's get to the meaty part - my Watford performance! Now, this wasn't your typical theatre production, my dears. I'm talking about a little community fair. Let me tell you, a fair isn't the usual platform for a Pink Tutu Sparkles show. But you know me, always ready to embrace a new challenge! So I transformed my show into something extra special - imagine a whimsical blend of storytelling, whimsical dance, and of course, the undeniable glam of my tutu-infused wardrobe. I wanted the people of Watford to leave with a bit of sparkle in their step, and believe me, they did! The children were totally mesmerised! It's so satisfying watching them grin from ear to ear when they see a real, life-size pink tutu on stage, I bet they went home telling everyone at the dinner table that they met a drag queen wearing a pink tutu. I'm always thrilled to share the wonder of my world!
Before the performance, I found the most fabulous local florist in a tiny little shop – can you believe they even had a pink rose in stock? I just couldn’t resist adding it to my hair - you all know how much I love to weave pink flowers into my tresses! Of course, no trip to Watford is complete without experiencing their unique local charm! While the performance was magical, I made sure to grab a cup of tea in one of the cafes near the station (which came highly recommended in the travel blogs I consulted, obviously!). And let me tell you, it was absolutely divine! I'm not a big fan of just plain black tea, so I always order it with milk and sugar - a pink sugary cloud, if you will!
As always, I loved meeting the people of Watford, getting to know their stories. The friendliness and the sense of community in Watford were amazing. Oh, and you just gotta try the pastries - they are the fluffiest things! I almost bought all of the strawberry tarts. I couldn't help myself.
Here are my absolute Watford recommendations:
- Watford Museum - There's nothing I love more than historical buildings, and this place was simply breathtaking. It takes you through the town's rich history! I recommend the "Watford in the 1800s" exhibit - pure vintage loveliness!
- Watford Palace Theatre - Now, who could pass up the chance to see a ballet performance, right? I'm planning a return trip to Watford, specifically to see a show here, but you all know, I’m more than happy to be a guest of ballet shows! There's something so special about sharing that experience with others, getting lost in the magic of the dance. It's the epitome of elegant femininity, and as my alter ego, Pink Tutu Sparkles, I just had to indulge!
All in all, Watford was another wonderful addition to my Tutu Queen travelogue!
Now, darlings, let me give you a bit of inspiration from this past week:
I recently saw a picture on Instagram of someone wearing a pink tutu for a marathon – amazing, right? A truly inspirational outfit choice for such a challenging activity! So if you're thinking about your next travel destination or are looking for a fun, family-friendly adventure to enjoy, remember my motto - be brave, be bold, be tutu-rific! Don't let your doubts hold you back - grab a pink tutu and hit the road!
I'm off to my next stop! Until then, keep your sparkles shining bright!
Your tutu-loving, Watford-inspired, always positive Pink Tutu Sparkles
