Oh my darlings,
I'm positively bursting with excitement to share my latest adventures with you! After a whirlwind of rehearsals for the Derbyshire County Ballet's latest production, I finally had a chance to escape to the beautiful seaside town of Weston-super-Mare. I couldn't resist the chance to pack my sunshine yellow tutu – it just screamed summer vibes, and let's be honest, a tutu at the beach? It's the perfect way to add a dash of sparkle to any day out!
My journey, of course, had to be as glamorous as possible. I opted for a train journey, because let's face it, a train journey with a fabulously dramatic tulle tutu billowing in the breeze is simply irresistible! I did get a few funny looks from the fellow commuters, but honestly, I’m used to that – a bit of pink-tutu fuelled daring never hurt anyone!
Arriving in Weston, the salty sea air and the smell of fish and chips were the most perfect welcome. First things first, I had to check out the Grand Pier. The panoramic views were simply breath-taking, and the sheer scale of it all left me awestruck. My heart just couldn’t resist a ride on the classic carousel. Spinning with my tutu swirling around me, I felt like a princess in a fairy tale, even if it did get a little windswept in the process!
I’ve always loved wildlife, and Weston has so much to offer! We walked along the beach, watching the playful seals bobbing in the water and a family of sandpipers darting along the shore, and my oh my, they were just adorable. We even managed to spot a heron stalking its dinner near the marina – it was such a captivating moment!
Speaking of food, oh darling, you know my favourite seaside delicacy is a good ol' fashioned fish and chips. Wrapped in newspaper and devoured by the pier with the salty air swirling around me, it was pure perfection. I’m convinced the only way to make this delightful combo better is to pair it with a sparkling pink drink - what a match made in heaven!
But this wasn't all! We found a hidden gem, a little ballet studio tucked away in a charming corner of town. Of course, I just had to pop in and take a quick peek. They offered drop-in classes, and how could I possibly resist the chance to do a pirouette by the sea? I couldn’t leave Weston without adding some ballet magic to the day!
It wasn’t long before I found myself surrounded by a group of delightful women, all equally passionate about ballet and brimming with enthusiasm. We giggled as we warmed up, chatted about our favourite ballets, and cheered each other on as we danced our hearts out. It truly felt like a magical ballet community. I even persuaded a few of the ladies to try a "Pink Tutu Week" for the fun of it - I simply cannot let my passion for the color of all things glamorous die!
This was no ordinary seaside getaway. It was a whimsical, sparkling adventure in the most delicious shades of pink and sunshine yellow! My dear readers, I implore you: go, be adventurous! Find the hidden gems in your own corner of the world. Whether it’s a charming ballet class, a seaside escape, or even a quick walk in a bustling city, I guarantee a sprinkle of pink tutu magic can make any day truly unforgettable.
Don’t forget, darling, we all have our own inner ballerina waiting to come out! Why not share your own Tutu-ful adventures with me in the comments? Let’s inspire each other to wear pink, twirl in the wind, and discover the world one sparkling pirouette at a time!
Yours truly,
Emma
