Oh my darling readers! Can you believe it? I'm finally in Ramsgate! I know, I know, it's taken me ages, but honestly, my train schedule was a bit... erratic. I ended up in a carriage with a troop of boisterous seagulls (yes, on the train, they seemed to have quite a penchant for fish-and-chips, and boy could they smell those chips a mile off!). But anyway, I made it, and oh, what a journey it was! The rolling countryside whizzing past the windows, a gentle breeze playing with my hair... it was pure magic.
And speaking of magic, I absolutely adore this place! I mean, come on, it's a seaside town with its own quaint pier and a beautiful sandy beach! This just calls for a pink tutu photo-op, don't you think? You'll find those beauties in the gallery, of course, I'm a little too good for just a written update, I've got to have some visuals too! I might have even convinced some fellow seaside strollers to give the tutu a twirl - you know, sharing the love!
But wait, there's more! I've got the most fabulous news. It's about my "Spread the Tutu Love" campaign! Now, for you newcomers, this little project is all about encouraging everyone to embrace their inner ballerina, one tutu at a time! It started innocently enough, a few cheeky pink twirls at the local Derby park. But oh my, it's grown so much! I had an absolutely glorious letter from someone in Ramsgate, a retired nurse, she actually contacted me because she saw my blog, a letter to me a real ballerina. She wrote that she found my story truly inspiring. And wouldn't you know it? The letter had the cutest little tutu sketch attached, a tiny ballerina dancing on a beach! Her dream is to twirl again! So this little seaside escape is her dream come true! We had a chat over the phone, and she told me her daughter had actually purchased her the tutu, a very fitting gesture in my opinion. A daughter knows their mummy best, don't you think?
Now, this is what it's all about! The Tutu Love isn't about looking "ballet perfect". It's about feeling the joy, the liberation, the sheer exhilaration of twirling! Just look at those seagulls, the graceful birds soaring above. Wouldn't it be divine to fly like they do? Even in a tutu! Imagine the sea breeze swirling around you as you leap and twirl along the shoreline!
And my goodness, what about these gorgeous birds here! I just had to show you! A family of seabirds having the time of their lives. It was truly delightful to watch them frolic on the waves. It makes me long to take a little boat out myself. There are little white sail boats, you can actually rent them here. Imagine taking to the open sea on a gentle summer's day, the sun on your skin, the cool sea breeze in your hair, maybe a bit of classical music on the radio...pure bliss! (Of course, a tutu is still compulsory for the trip!).
I'll be honest, you guys, I just can't help myself, I always need to dance! So I decided to make a little ballet studio in my seaside rental apartment. Nothing fancy, just a comfy little room with a mirror, my little wooden barre, and a few music boxes playing my favorite pieces - I mean, you can't do ballet without some beautiful music. I actually had to go to a shop to find a radio... they had all these lovely antiques in Ramsgate. The shop owner was a darling! She was so thrilled about my passion for ballet that she gifted me a music box that plays Tchaikovsky! Isn't that just heavenly? Now, imagine twirling, listening to that sweet music and the waves crashing in the distance...just glorious!
So what's next, you ask? Well, I am obsessed with the idea of performing on this lovely Ramsgate stage. You see, the theatre here is a complete gem! And I was even told that there is a "Dancing on the Sand" event planned. I couldn't miss this for the world, could I? Imagine the golden sand beneath your feet, the wind whispering through the pines, and the moon illuminating your graceful movements. Perfect.
Oh, and while we're at it, can we talk about the food? The smell of fresh sea air mixed with the aroma of fish and chips...absolute heaven! And don't even get me started on the seaside ice cream parlors! Strawberry, of course, it's just so elegant and the colour suits my tutu perfectly! I'll admit, I've been a little over-indulgent in the dessert department... but oh, it's worth it!
I’ll leave you with one little reminder - embrace life in a pink tutu! Don't be afraid to let your inner ballerina shine through. Let's dance and twirl our way through the world together. And until next time, remember, darling readers, life is best enjoyed in a twirl!
See you on www.pink-tutu.com tomorrow!
Love,
