Hey darlings, it's your girl Pink Tutu Sparkles, here with you again, for blog post number 5787! It's been a while since I've had a proper travel adventure, but, oh my goodness, do I have a story for you! Today, I'm bringing you right to the heart of Wrecsam, Wales, with all the twirls and sparkle you could ever wish for!
Now, I know what you're thinking, "Pink Tutu, why Wrecsam? You usually do your adventures in bigger, glitzier places!" And yes, darlings, you're right, but there's just something magical about stepping outside your usual sparkly box every now and then, you know? I always say, a little bit of travel can make you appreciate what you already have, plus, you never know what unexpected pink-tastic treasures you might discover!
So, imagine this: it's a chilly Wednesday morning in Derbyshire (can't believe I'm saying goodbye to the last of the summer sun) and I'm rocking a fabulous pink tulle outfit – naturally! - because what else would a girl do on a train journey, right? Well, the moment I board, the train suddenly becomes the most exciting place on Earth!
Imagine it: my pink tulle train-gown billowing as I waltz down the carriage, children staring wide-eyed and smiling as they giggle, “Look, Mummy! It’s a pink tutu!” Oh, darlings, those children had no idea how much those tutus meant to me. Seriously though, it makes my day to see people happy and, trust me, nothing puts a bigger smile on their faces than a twirling, glittering tutu!
The train ride to Wrecsam was breathtaking, with the rolling Welsh hills rushing past. Oh, to be in a musical on those rolling green hills, singing a showstopping number about the beauty of a good old British railway journey – dreams!
When I arrived, I was greeted with open arms, ready to embrace this vibrant little town. My darling friend, Lily, was the one who recommended I visit Wrecsam. She's a total ballet fanatic, and after sharing her story about their amazing theatre, I knew I had to come and see it for myself.
Wrecsam, it turns out, has an incredible heart, fuelled by art, music, and... drum roll... ballet! I was there to perform for a charity ball hosted by the theatre. Now, this isn’t just any theatre; it’s an old theatre, with a history older than me. Seriously, the moment you step inside you feel the echoes of so many talented performers before you – and it’s humbling, It gave me a real sense of purpose for my own performance. They weren't just hiring a pink tutu queen to entertain; they needed a little pink magic to light up the night!
But it's not all tutus and sparkly goodness – even Pink Tutu Sparkles needs to fuel her inner glitter beast, so a visit to a cafe was a must. I’ve never encountered so many delicious cakes, seriously! We had to pick at least two, which then lead to an ice cream as well... whoops. 💅
Then came the grand moment - showtime! I stepped out, my trusty pink tulle companion twirling around my legs, ready to sparkle under the spotlight. That audience? Ready for a pink explosion of fabulousness. The moment the first notes of the song began, the theatre came alive, a vibrant mix of glitter, laughter, and love. And it's not just me who thinks so - the audience's energy that night? It was just…electric.
The ball was magical, and after my set, we got to explore the theatre more - oh, darling, I felt like Alice in Wonderland stepping into the backstages. All those sets, those beautiful fabrics, the scents!
Of course, no Pink Tutu Sparkle visit would be complete without a visit to the shops – you’d think by now I’d have enough tulle for a whole castle! - but I just can't resist a bargain, especially when it’s in pink and sparkly. I found a little treasure of a shop selling handmade jewellery and crafts, and you guessed it… loads of tutus!
Let me tell you, the joy I felt buying more sparkly pink tutus in the beautiful shop was…something else. You can’t really describe the sensation. It’s more of a sense of ‘being fully yourself’ than just the pleasure of a new item, especially knowing they're going to bring joy to another girl! Plus, my darling followers will adore the pink haul for my next post!
Anyway, before I tell you all about how I caught a ride on a horse back to the station (and yes, there will be pictures), we have to recap on my adventure. I mean, we've been to Wrecsam, seen some amazing ballet, eaten enough cakes to win the Great British Bake Off (without ever getting on the telly), and most importantly, reminded ourselves that a pink tutu can always, ALWAYS make a day, a trip, a town more fun and sparkling. And hey, that’s what Pink Tutu Sparkles is all about, right?
And, guess what, darlings? You, my lovely readers, can have your own pink tutu adventure!
