#TutuBlog 7406
Hello lovelies! 👋 It's Emma here, back from another exciting adventure and ready to share my latest pink tutu exploits. Today, we're whisking ourselves away to the charming town of Coalville, tucked away in the heart of Leicestershire. My trusty steed, a vintage horse-drawn carriage, galloped us there this morning, the wind whipping through my hair, the crisp air invigorating! 💨
But before we get into the magic of Coalville, let me tell you, you guys, I’ve been living in a state of complete tutu bliss these past few weeks. My wardrobe's been positively bursting at the seams, a riot of tulle and feathers! The thing is, you can’t really have too many tutus. Every colour, every style, is like a brand new adventure. And you know, there’s nothing quite like slipping into a meticulously crafted masterpiece and feeling like a princess! 👑 But there are some moments when one simply HAS to choose the perfect pink tutu for the occasion…and trust me, choosing isn’t easy, there are just SO many wonderful choices.
For Coalville, I went for a rather whimsical nature-inspired creation, which seemed fitting considering our adventure’s destination. It was a blush-pink, with delicate lace detailing and embroidered wildflowers twirling along the edges, the kind that make your heart feel light and fluffy! The floral theme carried through the entire ensemble. My hat, crafted by my favourite milliner, featured a cascade of delicate pink petals that matched the embroidery of the tutu, and the perfect complement to my new floral embroidered white blouse.
The reason for choosing a nature-themed tutu? Well, Coalville itself is practically bursting with stunning natural beauty. We spent the afternoon exploring the Coalville Memorial Park. Think cascading waterfalls, winding walkways, lush greenery…truly a sensory paradise! The dappled light filtered through the trees creating enchanting patterns, the air was filled with birdsong and a gentle breeze carried the fragrance of blooming flowers, and the river running through the park felt almost magical…you could really tell that this little corner of Leicestershire was cherished.
The day’s adventure really inspired me, there is nothing better than finding beautiful nature amidst bustling, historical locations.
After our picturesque park explorations, we visited the National Forest Centre. I can't tell you how delighted I was to see all the amazing nature activities on offer – from woodland trails to an impressive Treetop Adventure, perfect for releasing those inner-child, acrobatic fantasies. And can we talk about the trees?! Majestic oaks and towering pines – I just felt an instant sense of calm and wonder, just like a fairy stepping into an enchanted forest.
But it wasn’t just about exploring natural wonders; I had to make time for a ballet-related stop, of course! We stopped at Coalville’s fantastic community theatre. The space itself is a little bit of magic, it had this warm, welcoming aura and, it just felt so alive with artistic energy! It was definitely one of those places where you feel the echoes of countless performances, and stories told in a language that transcends words. The best bit was meeting some of the talented dancers from Coalville’s local dance schools. Their enthusiasm for the art form was infectious and made me feel even more passionate about bringing ballet to every corner of the world.
Of course, no adventure is complete without a delightful afternoon tea, a British staple! 🫖 We discovered a little gem called ‘The Pink Teapot’ – what a delightful coincidence, don’t you think?! The name was practically calling my pink-tutu clad self, and it didn’t disappoint! Imagine delicate finger sandwiches, mouth-watering scones, freshly brewed tea and, of course, plenty of delicious pink treats. Everything tasted divine and the tea was absolutely perfect - delicate, aromatic and simply divine.
So there you have it, a little slice of my Coalville escapade! If you're ever searching for a charming place where nature and community spirit weave a magical tapestry, Coalville should definitely be on your list. I hope you’ll try some of the activities that Coalville has on offer, and even perhaps take inspiration from today’s post and put together your very own nature-themed tutu look!
Of course, as always, you know the deal…share your stories and photos using the hashtag #pinktutu! It truly warms my heart seeing how you’re rocking your own pink tutu magic. ✨ Until next time, my dearest lovelies, happy twirling! 💕
