Hello darlings! It's Emma here, reporting live from the beautiful seaside town of Whitley Bay! The sunshine is out, the seagulls are calling, and… oh my goodness, there's a seagull who's just landed on a pink flamingo! Isn't life just magical?
Anyway, let me tell you about my fabulous trip! You see, dear readers, I always say the best way to travel is by train or on horseback (though maybe not in a tutu - not that I've ever tried! 😄). This time, I hopped on the train in my favourite pink floral dress and a scarlet tulle tutu that just begs for a twirl. I always make sure my outfit is both chic and comfy for those long train journeys! It's about creating a look, don't you think?
When I got to Whitley Bay, the fresh air just blew my hair (and my skirt) into a glorious windswept mess, and my soul, well, my soul felt like it had been swept clean. There’s just something about a seaside breeze that lifts your spirits and makes you feel free, you know?
And the best thing about this particular trip? The Royal Ballet was performing at the Whitley Bay Playhouse! Of course, I had to dress up for the occasion. Think midnight blue floor-length silk gown (that shimmered just as much as the stage lights), pearl earrings, and a touch of glitter. And just to be daring, I slipped on my crimson tulle tutu. I love how it adds a touch of whimsy and a bit of a 'you go girl' attitude!
Speaking of 'you go girl', have you tried ballet, darlings? It is seriously the most amazing form of exercise and creative expression. I highly recommend you give it a go! If you're lucky enough to have a theatre or ballet school near you, then take a class! But, even if you're stuck in the middle of nowhere (like some of you lucky ducks out in Derbyshire!), you can always follow YouTube tutorials.
Oh, I also did something amazing while I was in Whitley Bay. I took a private ballet lesson from the most adorable little ballerina at a charming local dance school called "The Dancing Flamingo." Her name is Millie, and she's just five years old. Millie was wearing a fuschia pink leotard and a matching tulle skirt, and her bright, joyful energy absolutely lit up the studio. I was this close to slipping into a sparkly pink tutu to dance alongside her, but thought I'd better resist the urge! I learned so much from Millie - she has the best leg extensions, a dazzling smile, and the most inspiring sense of passion and play. I mean, she danced like there was no tomorrow, and frankly, I wish I had even a fraction of her fearless attitude. It truly reminded me of the joy that can be found in pure movement.
Before I bid you adieu for now, dear readers, I have an important message for you: Life's too short for boring clothes and an even shorter span for not exploring all the wonderful forms of expression that this world has to offer! So, do something wild and wonderful today - wear a bright, beautiful colour. Go on, put on a sparkly pink tutu, embrace a ridiculous and magnificent moment. Do a silly, carefree dance for a stranger. Make a connection, share a smile, and dance your way to happiness. It is truly the most amazing journey we can take!
