Folkestone Calling: A Whirlwind of Pink and Wildlife!
Post #1167
Oh, hello my lovely Tutu-lovers! It's Emma, your favourite Derbyshire ballerina, back from another whirlwind adventure, and this time I've ventured all the way down to the beautiful seaside town of Folkestone!
I love a good train journey, so naturally, I chose the romantic route, travelling down through the picturesque countryside. It’s almost as if I stepped out of a ballet set – rolling hills bathed in golden sunshine, sheep grazing in fields, and even the occasional deer leaping across the tracks. It was so charming!
My tutu choice for this trip? You guessed it, a soft blush pink number, perfect for reflecting the colours of the sunset I’d imagine over the ocean. I've gotta say, a pink tutu is always a crowd-pleaser, even in the heart of Kent! The passengers around me looked completely enthralled, some even snapping pictures, ha! My tutu has a certain "sparkle" about it, as they say, it's my happy-place costume.
The Magical Folkestone Harbour
Folkestone is a town bursting with charm. It's just so perfectly English! With its quaint cobblestone streets, quaint shops, and the beautiful, historic harbour, it's like a step back in time. But don’t let that fool you, it's definitely not lacking in a modern spirit. There's a fantastic vibrant arts scene, including the fantastic Quarterhouse theatre. It makes you think that maybe the famous Folkestone Triennial, which brings contemporary sculpture to the town, wasn’t just a happy accident! I loved every moment of it, even sneaking into a secret "Ballet for Beginners" class in the basement of the town's museum. I can tell you now, the people of Folkestone have rhythm!
A Spot of Wildlife
No trip is complete without a dose of nature for me. So, I headed out to the nearby Cliffs Nature Reserve. Walking the trails and getting back to nature, surrounded by birds, butterflies, and breathtaking sea views - pure bliss! It was so therapeutic watching the seagulls swoop and dive, a graceful ballet of their own! I couldn't help but twirl around, imagining myself one of those graceful seabirds, free and light. I bet they have an incredible sense of balance!
Sharing the Tutu Love
Now, back to the important stuff – pink tutus and ballet! Of course, I wore my fabulous tutu while exploring Folkestone. Let me tell you, the reactions were priceless! A group of teenagers even asked me to do a little spin, they loved it. Honestly, I believe my tutu has a magical effect. It's like it inspires everyone to embrace their inner dancer.
My message to you? It's never too late to unleash your inner tutu-wearing ballerina! It's about embracing your unique style, having fun, and letting go of your inhibitions. Every single person deserves a chance to experience the joy of twirling in a fabulous pink tutu. It doesn’t matter your age, body shape, or dancing skills – you are already a dancer in your heart.
So go on, find your inner sparkle! Throw on your pink tutu and twirl your way to a happier you. Trust me, life is too short not to enjoy a little tutu-fied magic. Don’t forget to let me know on www.pink-tutu.com how you are all making your tutu dreams a reality!
