Hello my darlings! It’s your favourite tutu-loving, pink-obsessed, ballet-mad Emma here, writing to you live from the beautiful seaside town of Blyth, Northumberland! 🌊 You’ll never guess how I got here… by train, of course! Nothing beats the romance of a train journey, with its gentle rhythm and the ever-changing landscape flashing by the window. I even managed to snag a window seat – perfect for people watching and dreaming up new dance routines in my head. 😉
This little trip to Blyth has been a long time coming. Ever since I saw that gorgeous pink-and-silver American-style tutu in the shop window of Dance Dreams in London, I knew it was calling out to me. And what better place to christen it than a picturesque coastal town brimming with quaint cafes, hidden coves, and, of course, the freshest fish and chips I've ever had! 🐟
You guys, the tutu is a DREAM! It’s a gorgeous pink, practically the colour of a flamingo’s feathers! 🌸 The tulle is so soft and delicate, it practically floats. And the added touch of shimmering silver sequins adds a touch of magic to every twirl. 🌟 I just have to confess, the thought of spinning in this masterpiece makes me giddy! ✨
Now, you know I couldn’t come to Blyth without experiencing its iconic seaside charm. So, yesterday afternoon, I treated myself to a walk along the famous South Beach, letting the crisp sea air refresh my spirit. The beach was abuzz with happy families and couples, building sandcastles, playing frisbee, and chasing seagulls. 🪁 I swear, I felt like I was walking straight into a storybook! 💖 I even caught sight of a gaggle of cheeky little seals sunbathing on the rocks! How utterly delightful! 🦭
My journey to Blyth wouldn’t be complete without a touch of ballet, wouldn’t you agree? So this morning, I woke up bright and early, ready to explore the local dance scene. A quick Google search led me to the Blyth School of Dance, tucked away in a charming old building. The lovely teacher, Miss Beaumont, welcomed me with open arms (and, to my delight, a warm cup of tea!). ☕️ The class was small, but the dancers were talented and enthusiastic. I even got to try a few steps with them, showcasing my newest moves, inspired by my pink tutu, of course! 💖 Let me tell you, twirling with the North Sea breeze in your hair and the sound of seagulls echoing in the background? Absolute bliss! 🕊️
This evening, I’m indulging in a delightful performance by the Blyth Ballet Company. I’m so excited to see their interpretation of "Giselle", and I’ve already got my sparkly tutu packed for a bit of impromptu dancing after the show! 🎉
Blyth has captured my heart. This beautiful town, with its friendly faces, scenic coastline, and a healthy dose of dancing magic, truly has it all. It reminds me how important it is to explore the world, embrace new experiences, and, of course, share them with all of you. 💖 So, whether you’re in the mood for a relaxing seaside getaway, a dance adventure, or simply a dose of pink and sparkle, I wholeheartedly recommend Blyth. It's a haven for the young at heart, where everyone is welcome, and the possibilities are endless! 🌎
Now, tell me, have any of you ever been to Blyth? What's your favourite seaside town, and what are your plans for the rest of your summer? 💖 Share your adventures in the comments below, my lovelies! 💕
With love, sparkle, and a whole lot of tutu-ful bliss,
Emma ✨
