Hello my lovely tutu-wearers! It's Emma here, your friendly neighbourhood ballerina extraordinaire, back with another daily dose of pink-hued positivity and twirling tips. Today's post is all about a day trip to the beautiful seaside town of Cleethorpes, in my trusty red tutu of course. (I mean, what's a trip to the seaside without a splash of colour? 😉)
The Train Journey: A Symphony of Pink
Now, you all know my love for train travel. It's something about the gentle rocking motion and the view flitting by that gets my creative juices flowing. But this time, it was all about the journey's pink-tinged details. Firstly, the glorious cherry blossom trees blooming by the tracks were practically begging to be immortalised on Instagram. Secondly, a delightful elderly gentleman in a vibrant fuchsia hat practically vibrated with joy, and let's be honest, his energy was contagious! He even complimented me on my tutu! (He said it "brought a touch of class" to the carriage, I nearly did a pirouette in the aisle.)
Cleethorpes: Where the Sea Meets the Tutu
Upon arriving in Cleethorpes, I felt a real buzz in the air - not just the sea breeze, although that was lovely too! There was this vibrant, joyful energy about the place that just screamed 'Pink Tutu Potential!' After all, wouldn't the Victorian architecture and the picturesque promenade look even more magnificent with a sprinkle of tulle? Imagine a group of pink-clad dancers twirling on the pier, wouldn't that be something?! (Maybe next time I'll bring my ballet crew.)
Seashells, Seagulls, and a Spot of Tutu-Inspired Fashion
The Cleethorpes beach was an absolute delight! The smooth pebbles and shells shimmered in the sun like tiny diamonds. A few seagulls perched themselves on the railings, looking like feathered ballerinas with their elegant wings. I found a stunning little seaside shop called 'The Pink Mermaid' - the name literally drew me in like a siren! It was crammed full of everything from seashell jewellery to adorable pink beach bags and even a pair of ballet shoes emblazoned with sparkly seashells! This was practically tailor-made for my tutu wardrobe, even if I was a bit tempted by those ballet-shell-shoes.
Sunset Waltz
As the day drew to a close, the sky was a blaze of pink, orange, and purple - like a painter's palette thrown onto the heavens. I couldn't resist striking a few poses on the pier, a backdrop of vibrant colour and my signature red tutu. As the sun dipped below the horizon, I twirled one last time, my skirt billowing in the gentle sea breeze, and whispered a silent "thank you" for a wonderful day.
A Tutu-Full Reminder
My day in Cleethorpes was a joyous reminder that life, just like a ballet, is best enjoyed with a splash of colour, a bit of twirl, and a sprinkle of pink magic. Don't be afraid to embrace your inner dancer, your personal style, and spread the joy!
So what's the next destination for your friendly pink-tutu-loving blogger? Tune in tomorrow for my next adventure!
And remember: The world needs more pink tutus! And more people trying ballet! #pinktutulife #balletoftheday #cleethorpes #traveltuesday #derbyshiregirl
