Hello darlings! It's Emma here, writing to you from sunny Waterlooville, and oh my, I'm feeling so pink today, just like my tutu! 💕 This is post number 2165, so I’ve definitely got the blogging bug! It’s lovely to see so many new faces on the pink-tutu.com family - do make sure you leave me a comment, because I read every single one. 😘
Right, let's talk about this absolutely glorious trip! I journeyed down here on the train yesterday, which is always a treat for this little ballet bird. There’s something so elegant about travelling by train, you know? And I managed to snag a window seat overlooking the beautiful green hills. 😍 Imagine, a picturesque backdrop while I indulged in a delicious pink cupcake, and dreamt of graceful pirouettes on the stage. 😉
Waterlooville itself is rather delightful. It has a very sweet and welcoming air to it. And let me tell you, the locals here are absolutely adoring the sight of a girl in a tutu! I’ve received more compliments on my outfit today than ever before. The local bakers even gifted me a box of pink cupcakes (with little ballet slippers on top!). 🥰
Now, you might be wondering why I’m in Waterlooville. Well, let me tell you, it’s for something extra special! It’s for a dance competition! I can’t divulge too many details just yet (you’ll have to wait for my next post for that, darling! 🤫 ), but let’s just say it involves tutus (naturally), and performance.
Today, I spent the afternoon watching some amazing local dancers strut their stuff. There were some real talent-bombs there, let me tell you! And the energy in the room was simply electric! ⚡ There's nothing quite like the feeling of the entire room vibrating with shared passion for the dance. It's intoxicating! 💃🏼 I even bumped into a lovely ballerina named Sophie, who happens to be a fellow tutus-and-travel enthusiast, just like yours truly! We bonded over a shared love of lavender tea and a very good pink cupcake - so sweet, so much pink! We both decided we needed to visit the Lavender Fields in Derbyshire after this trip - think picturesque fields of lavender with a tutu or two, oh darling, I'm swooning. 🤩
Speaking of Derbyshire, I've missed my little village back home terribly. There's nothing quite like those Derbyshire hills - their slopes look like gentle dancers’ movements from afar! I can almost hear the sheep bleating in harmony to the countryside birds. 🎶 There's something so peaceful about the place, and it truly gives me the inspiration for my dance. I have to say, it has the best countryside views - and don’t get me started on the cakes. Honestly, the pinkest cakes in all of England!
Anyways, dear friends, it’s getting late here, and I'm absolutely bursting with excitement for tomorrow’s dance competition. Don't forget to check in for my next blog post to hear all about the fabulous dancing and the competition. In the meantime, remember to embrace your inner ballerina, wear your tutu proudly (even if it’s just around the house!), and dance your way through life! ✨
And oh darling, before I forget - a friendly reminder: if you’re planning a trip to Waterlooville or Derbyshire, let me know! Perhaps we can have a tutu-tastic afternoon out together! 🤩
Lots of love, Emma xxx
