Hello my lovelies! 💅💖
It’s Emma here, writing to you from the charming seaside town of Folkestone, where I’ve just had the most delightful day of exploring the Kent countryside. This is blog post number 3231, and yes, you heard that right – I write a blog every day for www.pink-tutu.com, because sharing my passion for pink tutus, ballet, and travel with all of you is the best part of my day.
Today’s adventure took me on a delightful train journey down from Derbyshire, where I just finished a truly captivating performance with my ballet troupe at the Chesterfield Theatre. I’m all about bringing a touch of elegance to even the most unlikely of locations – ballet on a stage is lovely, but who says we can’t dance on a cobbled street, on a stage under the stars, or even amidst the beautiful scenery of the British countryside?
And let's face it, the journey to Folkestone is just begging for a statement outfit. So I pulled out my brand new "Lavender Fields" tutu, a symphony of lavender and baby pink hues, with a cascade of shimmering organza that I just had to twirl in. Honestly, even the fellow passengers on the train seemed to perk up at the sight of my sparkly twirls. It’s like everyone has an inner tutu enthusiast they’ve just been waiting to unleash! 🩰
After settling into my charming little B&B, tucked away on a cobbled street in Folkestone, I couldn't resist a quick costume change – back into my trusty tutu! But this time, I switched to my "Wildflower" design, a riot of delicate floral patterns in pink, blush, and a touch of emerald. It's like bringing the countryside to my tutu – so fitting for this whimsical adventure! 🌸
With a newfound burst of energy, I ventured to the picturesque Folkestone Harbour, my ballet shoes crunching softly on the shingle beach. A symphony of birds chirping played as the seagulls swooped overhead, reminding me of the natural world's incredible grace and beauty. They move with such effortless elegance - definitely giving me some serious ballet inspiration! 🦢🌊
The Harbour itself is a haven of colourful fishing boats and charming shops. My eyes couldn’t get enough of the charming houses, perched on the steep cliffs, looking out towards the dramatic white cliffs of Dover. What better place to do some "Ballet By the Sea"?
I took my little pink ballerina handbag (filled with emergency hairspray and glitter, of course!) and headed off on a rambling stroll, weaving my way through the winding streets. There were quirky shops filled with beautiful trinkets, artisan chocolatiers, and antique dealers with their treasures tucked away. But I confess, the "wildflower" tutu really came into its own in the town's beautiful public gardens, which were blooming with a riot of colour – just like my tutu! 🌸🌺
And let’s not forget my new companion – "Petal," my miniature bunny rabbit (and yes, I do have a pet bunny named Petal, what else would you expect?). He makes an adorable, albeit slightly hesitant, companion when it comes to ballet exploration! 🐰
He travelled with me today in a charming little wicker basket, nestled inside my vintage floral handbag. People can’t get enough of his adorable face. Maybe this little bunny will be a sensation in the world of ballet one day! 😉
Today's highlight? The incredible Dover cliffs, majestic and imposing, rising from the emerald-green sea like a natural wonder. It's almost impossible not to feel a sense of awe, surrounded by this breathtaking natural landscape.
You know me, I couldn't resist taking my "lavender fields" tutu out for a spin in the fresh sea air and finding a secluded spot with a stunning vista to twirl and pose against the breathtaking background. As I moved, the tulle floated in the gentle breeze, like whispers of pink in a perfect summer's day. I imagined myself as a delicate flower, swaying and dancing in the sun's embrace, while Petal happily nibbled on clover near my feet. 🐇💖
I know what you're thinking – what a truly dreamy, slightly surreal day, right? But for me, this is simply how I embrace life – a playful, twirling, and tutu-tastic blend of art, nature, and, yes, a pinch of whimsy. I hope my little corner of the internet brings a bit of that sparkle and joy into your world, too. 💖
Oh, and don't forget: the world is your stage, ladies. Embrace your inner tutu queen and go twirl! And, remember, Pink is Always The Answer. 💕✨
Until tomorrow!
