Hello my darlings!
It's Emma here, and today's post is bursting with colour, joy, and of course, plenty of pink!
You know how much I love to explore, and this weekend was a whirlwind adventure that took me to the gorgeous seaside town of Whitley Bay in Northumberland. A classic seaside escape - all salty air, crashing waves, and delicious fish and chips. Of course, I couldn't resist sporting my brand-new crimson tutu! It just screamed "let's have some fun!"
The Journey of a Thousand Pink Tutu Twirls
My journey was, as always, part of the adventure. I love taking the train, and this time it was even better, thanks to the glorious views of the rolling Derbyshire hills, giving way to the sprawling landscapes of Yorkshire. I had the carriage to myself, so naturally, I donned my tutu for the occasion! It really got people's heads turning, with lots of curious smiles and compliments. One gentleman even gave me a cheery wave - who says you can't spread some ballet-inspired joy on the train?!
Arriving at Whitley Bay, I was greeted by a picturesque vista of colourful beach huts, candy floss stalls, and the promise of seaside magic.
Dancing in the Sunshine
Whitley Bay itself was simply divine! I felt instantly drawn to the charming promenade, dotted with bustling shops, seaside cafes, and oh-so-many happy families. The air was buzzing with a festive atmosphere - that special blend of summertime and seaside holiday that only the coast can offer.
It wouldn't be a true Emma adventure without a spot of ballet, right? So, I had a little private practice on the pier. Honestly, it felt like I was on a stage! The sunshine warmed my skin, the sea breeze tickled my toes, and my red tutu was just glowing in the golden light. Of course, a few passersby were a little surprised to see me pirouetting amidst the seagulls - I mean, how often do you see a tutu dancing on the pier?!
A Whale of a Time
But my adventures in Whitley Bay weren't just about twirling. I made sure to embrace the unique wildlife experience on offer! I ventured to the nearby Seaton Sluice where the famous bottlenose dolphins can often be spotted. Let me tell you, there is nothing quite like watching these playful creatures glide through the water.
Of course, I was dressed to the nines. Pink ballet shoes (which were a perfect match for the sunset), a pink scarf, a pink hat, and my crimson tutu. (I know, I know! My obsession is getting pretty strong!). I mean, what's better than a little ballet-inspired flair, with the sun sinking into the ocean in front of you?!
Tutuful Dreams
Every trip is a journey of inspiration. As I watched the dolphins, I realized how much the graceful beauty of these creatures reminds me of ballet itself. They move with such effortless grace and power, perfectly blending with the natural environment - and just like ballet, they inspire a sense of wonder and joy in our hearts.
And as I wandered through the bustling streets, enjoying the salty air and the vibrant energy of the town, I thought to myself: "Why shouldn't we all embrace this sense of freedom and wonder, even just for a day?"
I want you to feel that same joy when you put on your pink tutu, when you step out in the sunshine, and when you take that leap of faith into your dreams.
Remember, the world is our stage, and every day is a chance to twirl with joy.
Until next time,
Love,
Emma xx
