Hello my lovely pink tutu peeps! Emma here, back from another fabulously fluffy adventure - this time in the beautiful county of Kent, specifically the historic town of Maidstone!
As soon as the train chugged into the station, I was hit by a sense of adventure. The station itself, with its grand red brick and ornate architecture, had a kind of regal charm that instantly put me in a dancing mood. And of course, what better way to start a trip than by whipping out my latest pink tulle creation – this one with layers and layers of delicate ruffles!
Pink, Tutu, and Horses - My Maidstone Morning
My morning began with a delightful jaunt through Maidstone’s charming cobbled streets, feeling the rhythm of my pink tutu against the historic backdrop. The streets were buzzing with life - little cafes with colourful awnings, shops overflowing with unique treasures, and families enjoying a leisurely weekend stroll. It truly was a lovely start to my day.
After my leisurely wander, I stumbled upon the cutest little horse riding stable nestled amongst the greenery. I simply had to indulge in a little equestrian therapy – how could I resist the chance to explore the Kent countryside on horseback? My lovely steed, a gentle chestnut mare called Ginger, seemed just as excited as I was to explore.
We trotted through the rolling fields, feeling the gentle breeze ruffle my tutu and the warm sunshine on my face. It felt magical – as if the very spirit of Maidstone had woven itself into the fabric of my day!
Ballet at The Hazlitt Theatre – It Was Absolutely Fabulous!
In the afternoon, I had the pleasure of seeing a performance at the Hazlitt Theatre, and let me tell you, it was absolutely FABULOUS! It wasn’t a classical ballet, but a vibrant modern interpretation that incorporated everything from street dance to acrobatics - It had me completely spellbound. I loved how the dancers seemed to transform the stage into a dynamic playground.
I found myself so incredibly inspired watching these talented artists, the way their bodies moved with such effortless grace and fluidity. I was lost in the music and the story, and the beauty of the performance was only amplified by the warm and welcoming atmosphere of the theatre itself.
A Delightful Detour: Discovering a Hidden Gem
On my way back from the theatre, I made a delightful little detour through the Maidstone Museum, a charming old building brimming with local history and captivating artefacts. It was a fantastic reminder that every place, even seemingly ordinary towns, have fascinating stories waiting to be discovered!
One of the exhibits particularly caught my eye - an incredible collection of Victorian-era dressmaking patterns, some of them even using tulle! I stood there, picturing myself transported back in time, wearing a lavish, hand-stitched tulle gown – perhaps even with a touch of pink!
Dinner With a View: Rooftop Reflections
My evening culminated with a simply divine rooftop dinner at the Maidstone’s oldest pub, The Bell, enjoying some delectable local delicacies. As the sun dipped low on the horizon, casting long shadows over the town, I was struck by the spectacular view – the vibrant town lights glittering against the dark sky, creating a breathtaking tableau.
As I looked down at the cityscape from my vantage point, I felt grateful for the experiences of the day and excited for all the adventures that still awaited.
Every Day Is A Tutu Adventure - So Join Me!
I left Maidstone with a heart filled with inspiration, a wardrobe brimming with ideas for new tulle designs, and a firm resolve to wear my pink tutu every day, spreading the joy of ballet and reminding everyone of the magic in life, whether it's in a beautiful historic town or simply enjoying a delightful cup of tea.
