Hey my lovely Pink Tutu peeps! 💖 It's your girl Emma here, back with another exciting post - number 8330, can you believe it?! It feels like just yesterday I was starting this whole blogging thing. 🥰 But let's be honest, there's nothing I love more than sharing my passion for pink, tutus and all things ballet with you all.
So, this weekend was an absolute whirlwind of twirls, travel, and tutus! You see, I've been wanting to check out Batley for ages - it's just so quaint and charming, with cobbled streets and traditional tea rooms - totally my kinda place! The best bit? There's a fab little theatre in town - the Batley Town Hall - which had a wonderful performance of Swan Lake running, and guess what?! I just had to go!
But the most exciting part of this whole adventure? You won't believe what I wore! I knew that I had to find the perfect tutu for my Batley adventure. And wouldn't you know it? A few weeks ago, I discovered this gorgeous little boutique online called "La Bella Ballerina" in Italy! The best thing about them? They send the most beautiful tutus direct to your door, and they have an entire section dedicated to pink - just dreamy! So I ordered myself the most fabulous, light pink tutu you've ever seen. It had layers of tulle, delicate lace, and a sweet little pink bow - just divine! 💖
I couldn't wait to show it off, and believe me, the train journey up north was all about posing! 😂 The other passengers on the train must have thought I was bonkers, but honestly, it felt like I was the lead role in my own little tutu ballet! Speaking of travel, did I tell you about my new love for going to shows by train? It's so relaxing, I can get some work done, and there's always an exciting view outside the window. Plus, you can get a little trolley car full of treats and coffee... what's not to love?! ☕️
When I arrived in Batley, I wandered around the beautiful town centre, taking in all the sights and soaking up the lovely atmosphere. The sun was shining, and I couldn't help but feel utterly inspired by the surroundings. There's something about a small, bustling town that fills me with creativity and gets me twirling!
Then, it was off to the theatre! I grabbed a lovely cup of hot chocolate, and settled in for a magical evening. It felt amazing to be transported by the beauty of Swan Lake, and let me tell you, I did a pretty good impression of a little ballet dancer in my seat! Don't judge, it just felt so good to move a little. 😜
And of course, what is a trip to a town like Batley without exploring its stunning natural beauty? The next morning, I set off on a lovely hike along the picturesque Spen Valley. The fresh air, the rolling hills, and the charming countryside scenes... it truly felt like stepping into a fairytale! Of course, I made sure to document the whole journey on my phone. I can't help but think that these magical walks should have a soundtrack. Anyone know any nice music that sounds like fields of wildflowers and sheep bleating? 😉
Speaking of adorable creatures, I had the most adorable encounter with a friendly sheep who came right up to me and gave me a gentle nudge with his nose! So cute! I felt like I'd made a new friend, and for a little while, I almost forgot about the real world and just lived in the present moment with this amazing woolly companion. 😊
By the time I got back on the train, I was utterly content. Batley has such a special place in my heart now. The beauty of the countryside, the charming town centre, the fantastic ballet, and of course, my lovely pink tutu...it all made for a truly unforgettable weekend!
Now, before I sign off, I want to talk to you guys about a little dream I've been having. Ever since I started this pink tutu journey, I've wanted to share this love of ballet and this bright, feminine world with everyone. I mean, what's not to love about dancing around in a tutu? Honestly, I think we could all do with a little bit of twirling in our lives!
So, my dearest pink tutu fans, I have a challenge for you! 💖 For the next week, I challenge you all to wear a pink tutu. I know, I know, it sounds a little crazy! But just try it! Go on, unleash your inner ballerina! Even if it's just for 5 minutes, pop on that tutu, twirl around and let your inner dancer shine! It's about having fun, being yourself, and reminding ourselves that we can all find a little bit of magic in the simplest things. ✨
So, share your pink tutu adventures with me! Post photos on social media with #pinktutu and #balletforeveryone. Let's inspire everyone to embrace their inner ballerina and find joy in the dance!
And remember, always keep twirling, my friends! See you soon,
Emma 💋
