Hello lovelies! It’s Emma here, ready to share another day of pink-tutu-filled adventures with you all! 🎀 Today’s blog is extra special because I’m writing to you from a brand new location - the charming seaside town of Llanelli! ✨
You all know I love to explore, and this week, my travels led me on a magical journey by train. Honestly, there’s something so romantic about a good train journey - the rhythmic clatter of the wheels, the ever-changing scenery whizzing past, and the gentle swaying of the carriage!
Of course, I couldn't leave my home without my trusty pink tutu! 💖 It's a brand new one, and it just screamed “Llanelli adventures” at me. Imagine, a light, breezy tulle tutu in a gorgeous pale pink, perfectly matched to my trusty pink floral hat, a pair of dainty ballet pumps, and a smile that wouldn't quit! It’s a look that says, “I’m here to dance, to explore, and to embrace the day!”. 😄
I couldn’t resist taking a couple of snaps before I hopped off the train, you know, just to make sure you all got the full fashion effect. The beautiful seaside promenade here was the perfect backdrop for some chic, breezy shots! The sea air, the gentle waves, the sky - everything was just begging for a little ballet action!
I'm sure you can all picture it - me, swirling my pink tulle with the wind, feeling the energy of the sea, my pink floral hat perched perfectly on my head, the light dancing across my pale skin, pure magic! 🧜♀️
But the real magic started when I wandered into the charming little ballet school that caught my eye as I explored Llanelli. Let me tell you, it was a fairytale come true! 💕
Just imagine, a tiny, beautiful dance studio nestled amidst a street full of old, charming buildings. It smelled of polish and pine, and the sunlight streaming through the window painted dancing beams of light on the dusty wooden floor. I’ve never seen such a cute space, I tell you! 😍
The owner, a woman called Megan, greeted me with a smile as bright as her scarlet red lipstick. And, oh, my sweet dears, did we ever talk! 💄
Megan was the embodiment of kindness and passion - all about ballet and sharing that joy with everyone! She’s one of those truly special people, and just by spending an hour with her, I knew I’d found another friend on my pink tutu travels. 💕
Of course, the day wouldn't be complete without a proper ballet session, right? ✨
I slipped into my favorite tutu (I always have to pack at least one classic!) and took part in a wonderful class. The music, the other students, the instructor, everything just felt like pure bliss! I learned a beautiful new combination and met a couple of lovely girls who joined me for afternoon tea after class. ☕️
You know, tea parties are a HUGE part of ballet, or at least they should be! Sharing stories, gossiping, and discussing the wonders of the ballet world are all things that should come hand-in-hand with this elegant art form. And who doesn’t love a spot of delicious cake while doing so? 🥰
So, afternoon tea was a hit! We talked about everything - ballet shoes, favourite tutu styles, the joys of a good ballet performance, the magic of learning new moves, and of course, our love for pink! I honestly felt like I was talking to kindred spirits!
Llanelli itself, my lovelies, was simply breathtaking. The harbour, with its colourful boats bobbing on the water, was absolutely captivating. It’s a perfect place to sit and watch the world go by. Especially in the company of friendly local seagulls and other delightful wildlife that call the area home! 🕊
Speaking of delightful wildlife, my morning was extra special! You see, I adore all creatures, especially horses, so my trip wouldn't be complete without meeting some beautiful ponies!
Imagine my delight when I stumbled upon a local horse sanctuary while exploring Llanelli! I simply had to pay them a visit, didn’t I? 💖
These wonderful creatures, so graceful, kind, and dignified, brought an added layer of magic to my adventures! I couldn't help but reach out and touch their soft coats. They were incredibly gentle, responding to me with a sweet whinny. It was so moving, it made me cry.
There's something very humbling about being close to nature like that. I honestly feel like nature is my friend. It brings me joy and peace. It gives me strength. And it truly helps me spread the message that I’ve been preaching my entire life! - that a bit of grace, kindness, beauty, and pink can really brighten everyone’s lives! 💖
My Llanelli trip has really fuelled my fire to explore even more. It's given me new inspiration to dance my heart out, share my love of ballet, and continue my mission to spread the pink tutu gospel far and wide! 💖
My darlings, until next time, I’ll leave you with this simple thought:
Let's all work to bring more joy and magic into the world, and who better to do that than a bunch of glamorous ballet lovers sporting pink tutus and beautiful smiles? 😉
Until next time, stay beautiful! 💖
Yours truly,
Emma www.pink-tutu.com
