Hey lovelies! 👋 Emma here, reporting live from the gorgeous seaside town of Whitley Bay! You know, there's something so utterly charming about these little seaside towns scattered along the British coast. I've always been drawn to the fresh sea air, the sandy beaches, and the unique mix of history and modernity you find in these places.
And this time, my journey was extra special because... drumroll please... I got to wear my sunshine yellow tutu! ☀️💛 Honestly, it was like a ray of light on a crisp December day. People just kept smiling at me - I swear, there's something magical about tutus that makes everyone feel a bit happier.
The day began in a charming cafe overlooking the beach. I devoured a breakfast of toast, marmalade, and lashings of strong tea while catching up on my emails. After all, a good blogger can't be too far from their online world for too long, right? 😜 I spent the morning browsing through my favourite dance shops, searching for some beautiful ballet shoes to add to my collection. There's just something about a delicate pair of pointe shoes or a comfy pair of leather demi-pointes that makes me feel like I can fly. ✨
Lunch was an absolute treat. A fish and chip shop by the pier. Can't resist a classic, especially when it's perfectly golden and crispy. 🐟🍟 It was a bit of a struggle to keep the grease off my tutu (not my best fashion choice for a fish and chip lunch, perhaps!), but hey, the food was just too good to resist.
After lunch, it was time for my favourite part of the day - exploring! I strolled along the seafront, soaking up the sea breeze and taking in the beautiful view of the coast. Whitley Bay is renowned for its beautiful beaches, and the pier stretching out into the sea was truly spectacular. The sun was even peeping through the clouds, making it all the more magical.
Speaking of magical, I also discovered a charming little wildlife sanctuary nestled right on the coast. I just love animals! So watching the birds nesting in the reedbeds and the playful seals splashing about in the water just warmed my heart. These little encounters remind you just how amazing nature truly is.
But it wouldn't be a true Emma blog post without a little dance, right? 😉 So, even though I wasn't in a studio, I couldn't resist busting out a few pirouettes on the beach. After all, a good dancer knows how to dance anywhere, even in the wind and sand. And let's be honest, what better backdrop than the vast North Sea?
My day ended at a fantastic ballet performance at the Whitley Bay Playhouse. Oh, the magic! 💫 I felt the energy of the performers vibrating in the theatre as they gracefully moved across the stage, captivating the audience with their passion and skill. I could practically feel my own dancing spirit flaring up!
I have to say, the theatre felt like the perfect ending to an absolutely magical day. Whitley Bay truly stole my heart, with its welcoming atmosphere, breathtaking scenery, and abundance of creative inspiration. If you're looking for a unique and vibrant seaside escape, add this delightful little town to your bucket list. You won't be disappointed!
Now, I'm back in Derbyshire, curled up in my favourite armchair with a mug of hot cocoa, ready to jot down all my thoughts and adventures from the day. You know, every day is a little ballet in itself – with its own twists, turns, and graceful movements. I wouldn't trade these journeys for anything! 💖
And remember lovelies, wear a tutu, do some pirouettes, and don't forget to embrace the joy of life! ✨
Until next time, Emma 💕 www.pink-tutu.com
