Hello darlings! It's Emma here, and I'm practically bursting with excitement to share my latest adventure with you all!
As you know, I'm a firm believer in the power of a pink tutu - it's the ultimate statement of confidence, femininity, and yes, a dash of silliness! So, imagine my delight when I found myself on a whirlwind trip to Scarborough, a gorgeous seaside town, where a bright, cherry red tutu seemed just the right colour to bring some zing to the wintry air.
Let's backtrack a little, shall we? I'd been longing to escape Derbyshire for a bit, and a trip by train seemed just the ticket. Nothing beats a train journey to gather your thoughts, plan your day, and gaze at the rolling countryside, perhaps sketching a quick drawing in my notebook - inspiration is everywhere, you know! Arriving in Scarborough with its majestic castle perched on the cliffs and the wind whipping through my hair, I felt that familiar sense of anticipation: A new city, new adventures, new tutus to be worn!
Now, a visit to Scarborough simply wouldn't be complete without a trip to the theatre! Luckily, a show had just opened in the grand, historical Stephen Joseph Theatre, and I snagged myself a front-row seat for an evening of classic drama. You could say I embraced the whole "theatre" experience, including a lavish pre-show dinner at a little bistro with a quaint atmosphere. And let's not forget about the fabulous dress code for the evening – I strutted in with a flourish in a pink sequin top, my hair up in a messy bun, and, of course, my cherry red tutu billowing behind me as I strutted down the aisle. Heads turned!
Later that week, I took a romantic carriage ride along the picturesque Yorkshire coastline. The crisp air, the waves crashing against the cliffs, and the soft clopping of the horse's hooves - pure magic! And you know, as I sat there wrapped up in a warm shawl, I had to remind myself to "Live, Love, Dance", because that's what makes life beautiful.
And when you're in a beautiful location like Scarborough, there are endless photo opportunities. I found myself dancing on the beach (I simply couldn't resist! I mean, the scenery practically begged for a ballet performance!) , I did a little twirl for the cameras, and even got a few onlookers to join in for a impromptu tutu-tastic photoshoot. My favourite part? Seeing everyone smiling! It really proves that everyone has a bit of a dancer inside, waiting to come out, especially when it’s time to spread some joy!
Now, no trip to the seaside is complete without a touch of wildlife. I found myself fascinated by the resident seabirds and seals. Those adorable, playful seals, basking in the sun – just so cute! You can practically feel the magic of these creatures. There's something so powerful and captivating about observing wildlife in their natural habitat - and it reminds me to be present in the moment and to appreciate the wonders of the natural world.
Oh, and how could I forget about my favorite part of the day: a ballet class in the quaint town of Filey. I simply can't resist a good ballet lesson! My class was full of aspiring dancers and eager beginners. Seeing all those tutu-clad beauties twirling and leaping was such a treat. It just reaffirms my belief that anyone can learn to dance, at any age. It's more than just a form of exercise; it's about finding your rhythm, exploring your emotions, and embracing the power of graceful movement.
I returned to Derbyshire, my heart full of happy memories and a suitcase overflowing with photos and inspiration.
So, darlings, take it from me - a trip to Scarborough is a must-do for anyone seeking a touch of glamour, a healthy dose of history, a touch of beachy seaside bliss, and a whole lot of tutu-tastic adventures! And who knows, maybe your own tutu journey awaits? I’d love to hear your experiences and photos! Leave me a message on www.pink-tutu.com!
Until next time, stay radiant and keep twirling!
Love,
Emma xoxo
