Oh, hello my lovelies! Emma here, reporting live from the seaside haven of Hastings. It's day three of my mini-break, and I'm already smitten with this charming little town. It's like a seaside postcard come to life - think cobbled streets, brightly coloured beach huts, and the invigorating tang of the sea air. Oh, and did I mention the ice cream? I may or may not have indulged in a double scoop of bubblegum and pistachio todayā¦ no judgment, darling!
I came here on the train, of course. Thereās nothing more romantic than a journey by rail, donāt you think? Watching the countryside flit by, the soft sway of the carriage, the clinking of teacups... bliss! I even saw a flock of sheep with the most delightful pink accents - they looked just like a mini ballet troupe!
Now, about my attireā¦ you know me, I canāt resist a fabulous feather tutu for any occasion. This one's a soft blush pink, perfect for the delicate seaside hues. Imagine, the feather tips catching the breeze, my swirling tulle reflecting the sparkling seaā¦ I felt like a beautiful ballet butterfly flitting along the promenade! And darling, donāt even get me started on the compliments I received. āYou look absolutely delightful, darling!ā one woman exclaimed. Another gentleman asked if I was on my way to a performance. My heart melted - just seeing a smile on someone's face makes it all worthwhile, you know?
Speaking of performances, did you know that Hastings has a wonderful little ballet company? I'm dying to see their production of āThe Sleeping Beautyā tomorrow night. Can you believe my luck? It's a classical ballet, one of my all-time favourites. The music, the story, the eleganceā¦ everything about it makes my heart sing. Iāve already bought a new pink feather boa for the occasion, the colour matches perfectly with the theatreās velvet seats ā so divine!
Oh, I must tell you about my delightful discovery this afternoon! On my walk along the coast, I came across a charming little tea room called āThe Swanās Featherā. It was like stepping back in time. They had vintage china, the daintiest cakes you ever did see, and the aroma of freshly brewed tea ā absolutely divine! The lady who owns the place told me she used to be a ballerina herself! She showed me an old photograph of herself, twirling in a pale blue tutu. Such a lovely woman, her eyes lit up as she spoke about her passion for dance, just like mine!
Tonight, I'm planning to wander down to the beach and watch the sunset. Maybe I'll take a dip in the chilly watersā¦ I love how the sea air invigorates the soul. Itās perfect for a moment of peaceful reflection, before a night of pure balletic joy. Then, it's back to the theatre, for a little magic and wonder.
My darlings, you know what they say - every day is a ballet in life! Every moment offers a chance to twirl, to soar, to express ourselves. So, whether you're strolling through a seaside town, waltzing through the office, or taking a leap of faith towards your dreamsā¦ I encourage you to embrace the beauty and joy of every step. After all, life's too short to not wear a pink tutu!
Until tomorrow, my loveliesā¦ and remember, dance like no oneās watching, dream in vibrant colours, and wear pink tutus whenever possible!
Much love,
Emma
