Hello, lovelies! Emma here, ready to whisk you away on another tutu-filled adventure, this time to the charming seaside town of Folkestone, Kent. If you've been following along on my daily adventures, you know how much I adore a good seaside trip, especially with my favourite tutu in tow. And let's be honest, a splash of yellow always brightens up the day, right?
So, pack your pinkest shoes, grab your biggest smile, and join me as we dance our way through the cobbled streets of Folkestone, stopping for fish and chips, soaking in the fresh air, and taking in all the wonders this delightful seaside town has to offer.
Train Travel - My Kinda Romance
Let's start our journey in style, shall we? There's something truly magical about train travel. The rhythm of the tracks, the chatter of fellow passengers, and the beautiful landscapes flying past your window... it’s truly a sensory treat. It allows you to escape the daily grind and embrace the freedom of the road. Plus, a good train journey with a cup of tea and a good book? Pure bliss!
I dressed the occasion with a shimmering yellow tutu and a delicate pink cardigan for warmth, as I boarded the train from Derbyshire with my tutu bag, ready to embark on this enchanting Folkestone adventure. And you know what? A fellow passenger even stopped me to compliment my outfit! You wouldn't believe how thrilled that made me, knowing I was inspiring others to embrace a little bit of tutu joy in their lives.
The Arrival
Folkestone Station welcomed me with open arms. The smell of salty sea air tickled my nose, promising a refreshing change of pace from the busy city life I had left behind. And wouldn't you know it, the sunshine was pouring out of the sky, creating a perfect backdrop for my jaunt around town.
The Town, the Coast, and a Tutu Twirl
I set off, tutu flowing with each step, exploring the charming alleyways and the beautiful old town with its brightly coloured buildings. Each turn unveiled a new picture-perfect sight: antique shops overflowing with trinkets and treasures, independent cafés serving the most delectable cakes, and historic architecture that whispered stories of times gone by.
The sound of the waves crashing against the shore drew me towards the pier. The sight was absolutely breathtaking, and I couldn't resist a few twirls with the sea breeze ruffling my yellow tutu. The invigorating salty air, the sunshine on my face, the sound of the sea... pure happiness, my friends.
Folkestone Harbour - A Seaside Sanctuary
The harbour was buzzing with activity. Fishermen hauling in their catch, seagulls circling above, and small boats bobbing gently on the waves. I soaked in the vibrant atmosphere, picturing myself on a boat, with the wind in my hair, feeling utterly free.
A colourful collection of stalls lined the harbour, filled with fresh seafood, delicious snacks, and handcrafted trinkets. Of course, I couldn’t resist buying a couple of souvenirs - a pretty seashell and a whimsical ceramic seahorse for my growing collection of seaside delights.
Wildlife Encounters
Speaking of seashells and seahorses, one of my favourite things about the coast is the wildlife. There’s something so captivating about seeing seals basking on the rocks or spotting playful dolphins leaping out of the water. Even a quick walk along the shoreline can reveal a treasure trove of creatures like sea anemones, crabs, and starfishes. Nature truly is fascinating!
Dancing in the Sunshine
No visit to a new town is complete without a little dance. My ballet training may be demanding, but the joy I feel performing is priceless! So, as the sun started to set, painting the sky in hues of orange and purple, I found a quiet spot by the seawall and had a little impromptu ballet session. I spun and pirouetted to the rhythm of the waves, feeling the wind whipping my tutu and letting my worries float away with the sunset.
Pink Tutu Nighttime
Evening fell, and the vibrant town took on a new charm, with the lights twinkling and the sound of laughter filling the air. I treated myself to a delicious fish and chips dinner with a seaside view. And just because a good tutu always elevates the occasion, I swapped my yellow for a sparkling pink one for dinner - just a touch of pink magic to add to the evening!
My Pink Tutu Wish for You
Before I sign off for the day, remember, my pink tutu wish for you is to always find a little bit of magic in your everyday. Take a moment to appreciate the little things, be kind to yourself and others, and embrace the joy of dance.
Till tomorrow, my lovelies!
Emma, the Pink Tutu Blogger.
