Hello lovelies! It's Emma here, your favourite pink tutu-clad blogger, coming to you live from sunny Bexleyheath! (Okay, maybe not sunny, it's been drizzling a bit, but that's just added a touch of romance to my day!)
I know, I know, it's been a while since I last blogged, but trust me, this little bunny hasn't been resting on her laurels. I've been busy travelling, perfecting my fouetté, and planning some truly exciting things for the future... But we'll get to that later! Today's post is all about a trip to Bexleyheath, where I encountered a charming local market and got swept up in the festive atmosphere.
It all started with a tutu-fabulous train journey. Now, I love a good train ride – something about the rhythm of the tracks and the feeling of rushing through the countryside really does it for me. I had my trusty pink tutu bag with me, filled with my usual essentials: ballet shoes, a spare pair of tights, and of course, a selection of pink lip glosses for touch-ups (because every girl needs to stay glam, even when catching a train).
But this was no ordinary train journey. It was a Tutu-Train adventure! I had a plan, my lovelies: a tutu inspired by the local food scene! And as the countryside whizzed by, I felt a sudden spark of inspiration – what better than a toffee apple tutu? I mean, it's practically begging for a photoshoot with the backdrop of the market.
As I alighted from the train in Bexleyheath, the scent of hot chocolate and freshly baked bread wafted through the air. A local market was in full swing, and the colourful stalls seemed to stretch on forever. I felt a little giddy with excitement, as though the entire world had turned into a giant confectionery store! I immediately got my camera out – those delicious looking toffee apples were screaming for a close-up!
My tutu had been taking shape in my head. I envisaged layers of shimmering pink tulle, each layer reflecting the sweetness of the toffee. A handful of artificial cherries and perhaps a few leaves would be the perfect garnish, adding a touch of sophistication. A scattering of pink glitter on the bottom layer – because let's face it, a bit of sparkle never hurt anyone!
Then came the moment of truth. I needed to find the perfect inspiration for my Tutu Apple. The market stalls held rows upon rows of tempting treats. There were towering stacks of cinnamon swirls, shimmering cakes that seemed too good to eat, and mountains of golden pastries. And then there it was – the prize! A perfect toffee apple, golden-brown and dripping with gooey caramel. The moment it landed in my hand, I felt the whole market buzz around me with approval. It was destined for a fabulous tutu.
Feeling positively radiant, I popped into a charming local café, their aroma of cinnamon and coffee drawing me in like a moth to a flame. My treat of the day? A delectable latte, with just the right amount of froth. I decided to have a spot of lunch while enjoying the lively atmosphere. A crisp, juicy sandwich with the freshest tomatoes and avocado was exactly what I needed, especially after my day of adventure.
It was almost time for my ballet class! But before leaving, I had a lovely encounter with a lady at the market. She looked up, eyes sparkling with excitement, at the vibrant pink tutu I had hanging on my shoulder and remarked how beautiful it was! I immediately struck up a conversation, regaling her with my latest adventures and plans. This woman, named Wendy, was a baker. She loved her baking so much, she actually turned it into her business, sharing her talent with the world through a quaint little shop called ‘Wendy’s Delight’. Wendy’s enthusiasm about my tutu adventures and love of all things ballet were infectious, and I knew instantly that she had a beautiful spirit.
Of course, before I headed for ballet class, I had to take some Tutu Apple photos! I’m not sure if the toffee apples were excited about being part of a Tutu-themed photo shoot, but they certainly looked absolutely magnificent!
Ballet class was the perfect end to my day. After stretching, leaps and pirouettes, I was utterly energized and full of inspiration! Now, it’s time to start working on my Tutu Apple design – you can all bet I’ll be sharing every step with you lovelies!
