Hello, my lovelies! It’s Emma here, and boy oh boy, am I buzzing after my whirlwind trip to Bridlington! 🩰 You see, my little heart skipped a beat when I realised I could combine two of my favourite things - ballet and a good ol' seaside escape!
A Touch of Magic on the Yorkshire Coast
Bridlington, for those who don't know, is a lovely seaside town in Yorkshire, just a stone's throw from my Derbyshire home. You wouldn't believe the excitement when I saw that the local theatre, the Spa, had a Ballet at the Spa season! A chance to immerse myself in some fabulous dancing, alongside a trip to the coast - what more could a girl ask for? I had to be there.
Travel in Style - Train Journey of Dreams
I decided to hop on the train for the journey, the clickety-clack of the wheels against the tracks being such a calming soundtrack for my dance-filled thoughts. You see, there’s something undeniably romantic about a train journey. It’s all about enjoying the journey as much as the destination! Plus, I was so delighted that my pink suitcase, complete with miniature tulle tutu charm, really made a statement on the platform! 😉 Of course, I wouldn't be Emma without rocking my trusty tutu!
Pink-Tutu Style on the Seafront
I arrived in Bridlington to glorious sunshine and a seagull symphony in the air. Naturally, my first stop was a saunter along the promenade, embracing the bracing seaside air and admiring the beauty of the coast. And yes, I absolutely wore my ballet tutu! Why let the beach hold you back, darling? A sprinkle of pink tulle always adds a touch of magic! (And let's be honest, my fellow tutu lovers, the seafront looks fantastic in a tutu!)
A Ballet Dream Come True at the Spa
The Spa was absolutely gorgeous, the architecture reminded me of some of the fabulous Victorian theatre buildings we have back in Derbyshire. I felt a bit like a time traveller - but one with impeccable pink style! They had an absolutely fantastic selection of dance shows - from graceful Swan Lakes to energetic, upbeat contemporary performances.
Bridlington Ballet Buzz
The ballet company was fantastic, I even met one of the dancers after the performance, who told me about her life on tour - I could practically see the sequins and stardust on her stories. She also gave me some insider tips on making sure I choose the perfect pink tulle tutu. Let me tell you, it's a whole art form, my dears! It all comes down to choosing the right shade of pink!
Seafood Feast and Sunset Bliss
After the show, I enjoyed the most delicious seafood platter on the harbour. I may have been sporting a few sprinkles of fish flakes on my tulle - oops! But let's face it, who hasn't had a little culinary mishap after a beautiful evening at the ballet?
A Chance Meeting with a Bird-Lover
The highlight of my day? Meeting the loveliest woman who had been volunteering at the local bird sanctuary. She was all about encouraging respect for the environment and celebrating our feathered friends. She showed me her little notebook where she diligently tracked all the birds she had seen, along with detailed drawings. It made me think - wouldn't it be fabulous to wear a little pink tutu at the next bird-watching group outing? Imagine the surprised and delighted faces! 😉
Dreams of Pink Tutus and Beachside Ballet
I really want to get everyone to wear a pink tutu! I mean, who doesn’t love a little bit of playful joy? I even dreamt about a group of ballerinas on the beach, wearing bright pink tutus, as the sun dipped below the horizon, creating a shimmering sunset that was literally mirrored in their tulle skirts. How fantastic would that be? Think of all the fabulous pictures for my pink-tutu.com blog!
More Than Just Ballet - Embracing the Beauty of the World
Bridlington was a perfect example of how our everyday lives are full of magic - whether you’re twirling on the beach or discovering the wonders of the natural world. Let’s all strive to find that extra bit of magic every day, my lovelies, and I guarantee, wearing a pink tutu won't hurt one bit!
Until next time, keep twirling, stay happy, and embrace all that is pink and sparkly!
