Hello my darling tutu-lovers! Emma here, reporting live from the delightful seaside town of Littlehampton. It's been a whirlwind week of travel, tutus, and all things pink - and you know I wouldn't miss a chance to share it all with you lovely lot!
Now, I know what you're thinking: "Emma, how did you end up in Littlehampton?" Well, my dear readers, it all started with a little bit of whimsy and a whole lot of wanderlust. As you know, I'm a sucker for a scenic train journey, and when the opportunity arose to hop on the Southern Railway express from Derbyshire, I knew I had to seize it.
The train journey itself was an absolute dream - think plush seats, stunning countryside views, and a little bit of peace and quiet to enjoy my latest "Ballet Beauty" magazine (you should all give it a read!). But what really made the journey truly magical were the adorable, fluffy lambs I spotted grazing by the tracks. Those little fellas were just too cute to handle!
Arriving in Littlehampton, the seaside air was so refreshing it almost knocked me off my feet! I'm not going to lie, there's something absolutely invigorating about a gentle sea breeze and the smell of salty air. I immediately felt a rush of creative energy and just knew that this was the perfect spot for my new tutu photoshoot!
Now, you know my weakness - a good tutu and an even better setting. And Littlehampton didn't disappoint! My black tutu was practically begging to be photographed with the azure ocean as a backdrop, and let me tell you, those shots were picture-perfect!
I must say, Littlehampton's harbour was positively buzzing! There were quaint shops overflowing with seaside trinkets, colourful fishing boats bobbing gently in the water, and, of course, the unmistakable sounds of joyous laughter and the excited shrieks of children building sandcastles.
My favourite encounter was with a particularly chatty family of seagulls who seemed very interested in my black tutu. They were quite the inquisitive bunch, flying overhead in a swirling ballet of feathers, their squawks providing an amusing counterpoint to the waves crashing against the harbour wall. You should have seen their reaction to my pink hair clips!
Speaking of pink, the sky at sunset was a breathtaking display of peach, coral, and rose gold. It felt almost like a magical ballerina twirling through the clouds, a truly delightful sight to behold!
I ended the day with a lovely, light supper at a charming seafood restaurant overlooking the harbour. There's something so special about eating fresh, local produce while enjoying a view like that. It was the perfect end to a truly memorable day!
Now, I have to admit, the experience has me thinking - why shouldn't Littlehampton become the next big ballet hub? Imagine: the waves as our stage, the harbour as our backdrop, and a troupe of ballerinas gracefully gliding across the sand, their pink tutus fluttering in the breeze! Wouldn't that be utterly enchanting?
And you know what? I'm not just talking about it - I'm going to do it! I'm already in talks with some talented local dancers to organise a little seaside performance. I have a vision: an open-air ballet under the stars, celebrating the beauty of nature and the joy of dance! More details to come on this one, darling readers, you can bet on it!
Oh, and let's not forget the horses! You know I adore these magnificent creatures, and I couldn't leave Littlehampton without a horseback ride along the stunning coastline. The feeling of the salty wind whipping through my hair, the sand squelching beneath my horse's hooves, and the vast expanse of the sea before me – it was absolute bliss!
Of course, I've been busy adding new tutu outfits to my collection! My little jaunt to Littlehampton wouldn't be complete without some new additions, and let me tell you, this town has some real gems when it comes to unique and charming boutiques! I found a lovely turquoise tutu with sequined detail, it just screams "seaside fun!"
And for you fellow tutu-enthusiasts, don't forget: pink tutus for everyone! Let's spread the love and get everyone twirling. Ballet is for everyone, no matter your age, size, or experience. Give it a go, you might just discover your inner ballerina!
That's it for today, darlings! Until next time, keep dancing, stay fabulous, and wear your tutus with pride!
Love, Emma
