Hello, darlings!
It's your girl, Emma, here, signing in for blog post number 5536 from the lovely little seaside town of Littlehampton! 🎉 This week, I decided to ditch the studio and take a little trip to the coast to recharge my creative batteries and, of course, bring a bit of pink tutu magic to the Sussex sunshine!
As a fellow Derbyshire lass once said, "You can take the girl out of the Dales, but you can't take the Dales out of the girl." 🤣 So, I knew a little trip by train was the perfect way to get to this enchanting seaside haven. I packed my trusty pink polka dot picnic basket with enough goodies to feed a family of four (okay, maybe five!), donned my favourite pink-trimmed beret, and off we went! 🚄
The journey was as picturesque as ever, and let's be honest, what better way to kick-off a trip than with a delightful chat with a fellow tutu-lover who was on her way to the Brighton Ballet Festival? It's amazing how quickly a shared love for all things pink and pirouettes can spark a conversation! 💖🩰
As we approached Littlehampton, the first thing that greeted us was the stunningly blue sea! ✨ My inner child practically leapt out of my seat with glee. I could almost hear it exclaim, "Tutu time! Let's build a sandcastle fit for a queen!" 🏰
But first, we had to embrace a true English seaside tradition: fish and chips! 🐟🍟 Honestly, the crisp, golden batter and the perfectly flaky fish tasted even better with the ocean breeze dancing in my hair. (Of course, my "pink tutu" spirit demanded I pair it with a side of pink lemonade for the ultimate seaside indulgence!) 💕
After that delicious fuel-up, we wandered through the quaint little town, enjoying the beautiful seaside cottages, charming antique shops, and the laughter of children playing by the pier. There's just something so calming about the sound of the waves crashing on the shore and the salty air in my lungs. It's a truly magical atmosphere! 🌊
Speaking of magic, I couldn't leave Littlehampton without a little adventure! I mean, how can you be near the sea and not meet a dolphin or two, right? 🤔 I had spotted a dolphin-watching trip being offered, and of course, I couldn't resist.
I had this little twinge of apprehension - I don't know why, I love all animals! But my fears vanished when the majestic creatures breached the surface of the water, flashing their smiles at the sun! 😍 It was a sight that took my breath away and truly melted away all my stresses. I left the boat feeling refreshed and truly humbled by the beauty of these creatures. 🐋
Of course, my pink tutu spirit wasn't going to be outdone by any wild creatures. I embraced the seaside colours and the pink-hued sky with my favourite rose gold tutu, twirling beneath the sun and adding a touch of pink magic to my adventure. 🌄 I know, I know - pink and pink, a little repetitive? Maybe. But the magic just shines brighter when it’s pink, wouldn't you agree? 😉
And let's be honest, a girl needs to feel her most powerful, especially on the brink of a new chapter. Yes, you read that right, my darlings! You know I love a bit of dramatic flair! I've decided to challenge myself in a new way and embark on a month-long journey, exploring the magic of British wildlife - all while sporting a vibrant, glorious pink tutu, of course! 💕🌳🐾
But don't worry, this isn't goodbye. I'll be back, documenting my adventures, sharing my new discoveries, and hopefully inspiring more pink-tutu wearing explorers to join me. And hey, maybe this whole wildlife adventure will even inspire some amazing, new ballet routines! 🤩 Who knows, perhaps we'll see a swan lake of a whole different kind...
So stay tuned, darlings. It's going to be an exciting journey! 💖
Don't forget to leave your comments below, I'd love to hear your favourite seaside memories, your thoughts on pink tutus and anything else that springs to mind!
Love always,
Emma xx
