Hello my darlings! It’s Emma here, and today I’m practically bouncing with excitement to share a truly fabulous adventure with you all. Today’s tale takes us to the beautiful seaside town of Cleethorpes, a gem on the East Coast of England. Now, I know you’re thinking, "Emma, Cleethorpes? Really?," but trust me, this little seaside haven holds more charm and whimsy than you can imagine!
Now, where do I even begin? I arrived in Cleethorpes bright and early this morning, the air already tinged with the salty tang of the sea. I couldn’t resist popping into a charming little bakery for a flaky croissant and a latte before my morning’s activities began.
First, it was off to the Cleethorpes Academy of Dance for a wonderful ballet class! You wouldn’t believe the delightful surprise awaiting me there - the studio was decked out in the most fabulous shade of pink! It was almost as if I was transported to a ballerina’s dream world. 🩰💕 The class was just as inspiring – I had so much fun twirling and pirouetteing amongst the talented dancers.
I just adore discovering hidden treasures on my travels. Cleethorpes was definitely no exception, as after ballet, I strolled around Cleethorpes Pier, an architectural delight bursting with life. The views out to the North Sea were breathtaking! I’m so in love with the Victorian charm of seaside towns, with their brightly coloured candy shops, vintage arcades, and cheerful pubs. It’s a little slice of time capsule joy. 🍭
Speaking of joy, did I tell you I found the most divine pink tutu in a charming little boutique called The Dancing Swan? I couldn’t resist snapping it up - it was perfect for my little adventure in Cleethorpes. I must admit, there's just something incredibly liberating about strutting your stuff in a pink tutu. I don’t care what anyone says, it’s the most fabulous fashion statement out there! 💖 I even wore it whilst trying out some *‘traditional’ seaside snacks – fish and chips and ‘ice cream’ – a flaky cod, soft potato chips, and ice-cold gelato all washed down with the most refreshing seaside breeze. * 😋🍦
Later on, I treated myself to a romantic carriage ride along Cleethorpes Beach. Imagine - a gently clopping horse, a stunning sunset casting golden hues across the sea, and a me, of course, twirling in my pink tutu with the wind in my hair. The absolute picture of contentment! It truly was the perfect way to round off an absolutely wonderful day in this lovely seaside haven.
Oh, and speaking of contentment, I had the most beautiful encounter with a group of friendly swans on a little walk along the beach this morning. I couldn’t help but giggle, these fluffy beauties were quacking and waddling in a coordinated formation – a ballet routine of their own! Nature really is the ultimate artist. 🦢
Now, here’s a little ‘tutu-tip’ for all you fabulous ‘Pink-Tutu’ readers: When visiting Cleethorpes, don't forget to pop into the charming little Victorian Clock Tower on the main street for breathtaking panoramic views of the town and coastline. I spent ages taking photos! The clock tower was built over 150 years ago! Imagine the stories its weathered brick walls could tell!
If you're searching for a delightful dose of seaside fun and fabulousness, then look no further than Cleethorpes! Whether it's pirouetting at a dance academy, roaming the quirky shops of a seaside pier, or simply enjoying the beauty of the coastline - Cleethorpes truly is a treasure trove of delightful discoveries.
As the day winds down and the stars start to twinkle in the clear night sky, I can't help but feel deeply grateful for the incredible experiences I've had in Cleethorpes. The sun may have set on this little escapade, but the pink tutu magic continues to ignite my soul. As for my travels, well, this little ballet-obsessed Derbyshire girl has more grand plans in store.
Until next time, my darlings, remember to embrace the beauty in the ordinary, always choose to wear pink, and never, ever, stop twirling. Life is too short for everything but fun, fabulousness, and fabulous pink tutus! 💖🩰
With a million twirls and a whole lot of love,
Emma
