Hello darlings! It's Emma here, back with another blog post from your favourite pink tutu-wearing adventurer! 🩰💖 Today I'm writing to you from the beautiful seaside town of Folkestone, and let me tell you, it's a place that's stolen my heart!
My journey down from Derbyshire was pure enchantment. The train journey was filled with beautiful countryside views and a dose of good old fashioned train chatter (which always amuses me – who knew so many people had such fascinating stories to tell?).
Now, I know you're wondering about my outfit choice for this escapade. Well, I couldn't resist whipping out my newest pink tutu – it's a delicate butterfly-inspired design with swathes of pale pink tulle, and oh, how it fluttered in the seaside breeze! ✨
Speaking of breezes, let me tell you about the incredible coastline that surrounds this little town! White cliffs tumbling down to the sea, sparkling beaches that stretch out forever, and the sound of the waves crashing against the shore – it was truly a sensory delight!
Folkestone is brimming with vibrant shops and cute little cafes, all begging to be explored. I spent an afternoon browsing for treasures in a vintage clothes shop that felt like it was straight out of a fairytale. I even found a beautiful silk scarf with delicate floral patterns that would look divine with a ballerina's bun, wouldn't you say?
I'm also absolutely in love with the local art scene here. They're celebrating everything from quirky street art to impressive gallery installations. I even saw a captivating piece of chalk art on the promenade that portrayed a graceful ballerina – a moment that warmed this ballerina's heart!
But this wouldn't be a true Emma adventure without a touch of nature, right? 🐦🦋 So, I ventured into The Folkestone Harbour Arm, a reclaimed space buzzing with local wildlife. I spotted some playful seagulls strutting their stuff on the pier and a whole colony of adorable little brown crabs hiding in the tide pools. You should have seen them scampering around – so much cuteness in such tiny crustacean bodies!
As evening fell, I wandered down to the Folkestone Harbour. The harbour lights sparkled like a thousand stars against the backdrop of the twilight sky, and I felt a surge of pure happiness. 💫 It was truly a magical moment – the kind that makes you feel grateful for every single thing life has to offer.
Of course, I couldn't end this adventure without a beautiful sunset – a truly glorious panorama of pink, orange and gold hues painting the sky above the cliffs. I perched myself on a rock and watched in awe as the sun slowly dipped below the horizon, reflecting on this delightful day in the company of my trusted pink tutu and the gentle sounds of the waves. 🌅
You see, my dear readers, that's what I love about travel. It's the little things that make it truly magical – those unexpected discoveries, the beauty that unfolds right in front of your eyes, and those fleeting moments that remind you of life's simple pleasures.
But before I say goodbye, I want to share a secret with you – I'm dreaming of returning to Folkestone soon! I hear they have an incredible wildlife sanctuary just outside the town, a real paradise for all those feathered friends and furry creatures. Maybe I can even take some ballet classes with the local ballet school – imagine, a seaside town with graceful ballerinas, beautiful scenery and endless pink tutus – what could be better? 💖
Until next time, stay fabulous, dance with joy, and keep dreaming those pink tutu dreams!
With love and twirls,
Emma
