Hello darlings! Emma here, back with another update from the fabulous world of pink tutus and pirouettes! Today's post is extra special, as it marks a monumental occasion – Blog Post Number 2099! I can't believe we've been sharing this journey together for so long. To celebrate, I'm taking you all on a whimsical whirlwind of a day to Blackpool!
Now, Blackpool might not be the first place you think of when it comes to ballet, but believe me, my darlings, it was bursting with unexpected magic! My heart skipped a beat the moment I saw the iconic Tower, shimmering against the seaside sky. I mean, what's a better place for a twirling adventure?
As you know, my motto is: "When in doubt, pink it out!" So, naturally, I picked out the perfect pink tutu to accompany me on this Blackpool bonanza – a floaty, delicate creation, with layers upon layers of shimmering tulle, it was the very definition of breezy beachy elegance. I'd say I made quite a splash as I waltzed through the bustling promenade, drawing compliments from amused onlookers.
The "Horses for Courses" Way
Of course, I had to find the most whimsical way to get to Blackpool – horseback riding! The journey was so much fun, my steed and I cantered through fields, breathing in the fresh air, a ballet of wind and hooves, a pure sensory delight. I'd definitely recommend a horseback journey to Blackpool. Just make sure to choose a horse with good balance – you never know when you might feel the urge to do a quick pirouette!
The Blackpool Ballet Scene
I was on a mission to see every ballet performance Blackpool had to offer, and let me tell you, this seaside town didn't disappoint! First up was a dazzling rendition of "Swan Lake" at the iconic Grand Theatre. I was absolutely mesmerized by the delicate artistry and graceful movement – they made me feel like I was flying right there with them. I had to pinch myself because I felt like I'd been swept away to another world entirely!
My afternoon was dedicated to some good old-fashioned fun. There's no place like Blackpool for some traditional seaside fun – a trip to the iconic Pleasure Beach with its roller coasters and arcades! I have to say, there's something so thrilling about dancing between the rollercoasters as they shoot up and down – I even caught a cheeky wink from one of the ride operators, bless him.
Finding the Wild Beauty
The day wouldn't be complete without a little touch of nature. Now, I'm no stranger to a good bit of wildlife, and Blackpool actually has a charming hidden gem – Stanley Park. The lush green meadows and majestic trees provided the perfect backdrop for a sunset picnic, with me enjoying the graceful ballet of the birds soaring above.
As I gazed upon the vibrant colours painting the sky, I felt incredibly grateful for all the beautiful moments, the exhilarating energy, and the pure joy of my day. It was a celebration of life, love, and a bit of unbridled "Emma-ness," as I like to call it.
I’ve been inspired by Blackpool, it’s definitely got a wild spirit! If you’re reading this and fancy yourself as a bit of a daredevil – pack your pink tutus and head to the seaside! This town's all about finding magic in the unexpected, making friends, and maybe even a bit of ballet street-style in between rollercoasters!

Lots of love and twirls, Emma 💖🩰
