Hello, darlings! It's Emma here, your favourite pink-tutu-clad ballerina, reporting live from the beautiful seaside town of Paignton, nestled on the glorious English Riviera.
As you know, my heart belongs to the stage, but lately, I've been bitten by the travel bug (well, more of a gentle nudge from my equally enthusiastic travel buddy, Lily!). So, today, we're on a little adventure – not a grand tour by horse-drawn carriage, sadly, but a scenic train journey nonetheless. And believe me, the journey itself was almost as beautiful as the destination!
The sunshine has been gloriously dazzling today, and the sight of the coastline from the train window, with its dramatic cliffs and hidden coves, had me swooning. I just had to slip on my most fetching pink tutu (it’s a slightly narrower design, just for my travelling days) for this journey. My signature shade of pink, of course!
Paignton, for the uninitiated, is a delightful seaside town with the most enchanting Victorian pier – imagine elegant wooden arches and beautiful flower beds! I can't resist snapping a picture with my favourite new vintage handbag and my pink tutu, naturally! We also took a leisurely stroll along the promenade, where I spotted some of the most adorable seaside pigeons I've ever seen! Seriously, I nearly tried to buy them a little tutu. Who doesn't love a fancy pigeon?
Speaking of seaside delights, you just can’t mention Paignton without mentioning its beautiful beaches. We enjoyed a delicious cream tea on the beach – clotted cream, scones, and strawberries. It was truly a quintessential British summer treat! As I enjoyed the quintessential English seaside scene, I couldn’t help but dream of all the lovely ladies around me swirling in their own little tutus, enjoying the sea breeze and the beautiful sunset! Imagine, a beach full of twinkling pink tutus - wouldn’t that be amazing?
This little escapade, my lovelies, reminds me why I adore the UK. Every corner holds a delightful surprise – quaint villages, breathtaking landscapes, and of course, charming little shops! It's the perfect backdrop for a fabulous ballerina like myself.
Now, about my evening. It's all about dance, of course! A delightful local ballet class is on the agenda, and you can bet I'll be there in a gorgeous new tutu (it has the most delicate little embellishments!), perfecting my plies and pirouettes, bringing my love of dance to the south coast! And if the stars align just right, perhaps a spontaneous street dance performance on the pier to showcase my talent – who needs an audience when you have a magnificent sunset as your backdrop?!
So, darling, tell me! What do you think of my day? Do you love the seaside as much as I do? Would you join me on a beach full of pink tutus?
Remember, darlings, life's too short to not try ballet. And every day is a chance to embrace your inner ballerina!
Catch you tomorrow for another post.
With love, Emma xoxo
