#TutuBlog 2012-07-22 in Laindon with a european style tutu.

Hello my gorgeous pink tutu tribe! It's Emma here, ready to take you on a whirlwind tour of Laindon! You see, I can't help but travel by train – especially when there's the allure of a tutu-tastic adventure waiting at the end of the line. It’s no secret, you all know my heart belongs to ballet, and lately, I've been dreaming of taking my love for dance beyond the confines of a studio and onto the streets. And that, my loves, is exactly what I’ve been up to!

This time, I’ve decided to bring a touch of continental chic to Laindon with a European-inspired tutu. Picture a frothy cloud of tulle in the softest blush pink, flowing with grace and sophistication as I pirouette around the quaint corners of this charming town. It’s been a whirlwind of discovery, each turn revealing a new opportunity for a twirl or a pose.

You all know I'm all about bringing ballet into the world, and Laindon, with its quirky shops, historic landmarks, and the occasional splash of Victorian grandeur, was a fantastic stage for a little ballet magic. I think the pigeons thought so, too - I had the most wonderful troupe of feathery fans for my outdoor pirouette in the park. Now that’s what I call street ballet!

Of course, I couldn’t resist searching for local dance studios. It's one of my greatest joys – discovering new spaces and instructors, letting myself be inspired by the passion that vibrates within them. In Laindon, I struck gold at a tucked-away studio that buzzed with energy, echoing the rhythm of happy dancers' steps. The scent of leather and the echo of music – you can’t get a more blissful feeling than that!

I had to get involved, of course. Let's be honest, who could resist a barre call? I had to channel my inner plié queen and show the Laindon locals what ballet was truly all about. The room buzzed with laughter and encouragement. And it's moments like these that really make my pink tutu journey worth it.

Since I was exploring the British countryside, there was no better way to continue my adventures than on horseback. Cantering across rolling green fields, with the wind in my hair and my European-style tutu billowing behind me – it was like a scene from a romantic film! It was one of those glorious moments where I feel that I can genuinely conquer the world in a pink tutu, one twirl at a time!

As the sun began its slow descent, casting long shadows over Laindon, I made my way back to the station, my heart brimming with contentment. Train journeys, you know, are so often an extension of the journey, not just a means of transport. And when your carriage offers stunning views and a fellow traveller's playful smile in response to your tutu-tastic outfit, well, then it’s not just a trip; it’s a whimsical fairytale come true.

This isn't just about my love of ballet or pink tutus, you know. It’s about finding that sparkle in everyday life. The chance encounter, the kind word, the simple act of sharing a laugh – it's in those moments that we rediscover our own unique kind of magic.

It's about encouraging each other, building each other up, and, of course, sharing a giggle or two.

And yes, that includes you. Because when I’m back in my Derbyshire cottage, sipping my Earl Grey tea and writing about these experiences, I’m reminded why I started this whole “pink tutu world takeover” – because life is too short to be anything other than a little bit glamorous and totally ourselves.

And just maybe, just maybe, one day I'll inspire you to wear your own pink tutu. Just try it! Who knows where it might take you?

Catch me tomorrow for more twirling adventures!

Sending all my love,

Emma
