Hello lovelies! It's Emma, your pink-tutu-clad adventurer, back with another diary entry from my life on the go! Today's adventure takes us to the charming town of Westhoughton, a little slice of Lancashire with a big heart (and some fab vintage shops, if I may add!).
As always, the journey itself was part of the fun. This time, I opted for the most luxurious mode of transport – a vintage steam train, chugging its way across the rolling green hills of the North West. There's just something about the gentle rocking, the steamy scent, and the clickety-clack rhythm that makes me feel like a little girl in a fairytale.
Speaking of fairytale, how can you go to a town called Westhoughton without feeling a hint of magic? With its pretty cobbled streets and charming cottages, it feels like stepping into a vintage postcard. My first stop, of course, was a tea room for a delicious cream tea (I can never resist!). The teapot was a vintage china delight and the scones, oh my! Absolutely heavenly.
And what's a tutu-loving adventurer without a spot of ballet? I couldn't visit Westhoughton without exploring their thriving arts scene. A ballet studio tucked away down a little side street became my afternoon playground! I donned my pink tutu (because, honestly, when is it ever a bad time for a twirl?) and joined in with a delightful bunch of enthusiastic dancers. There was a real sense of camaraderie and joy – everyone seemed genuinely happy to share their passion.
And, you know, this is what makes me so excited about spreading the love of ballet! It doesn't matter if you've never danced a step in your life, it doesn't matter if you're six or sixty – the pure joy of moving your body to music, the sense of grace and strength it brings…it's truly magical.
Later in the evening, I caught a performance at the Westhoughton Little Theatre, a community venue buzzing with creativity. The production was a delightful mix of music, dance, and drama, showcasing the raw talent of the local performers. It truly felt like the whole town was coming together to celebrate the arts. And, if you can believe it, the lead actress was actually wearing a pink tutu!
So, it seems my mission to get the whole world in pink tutus is steadily moving forward, one town, one cream tea, and one graceful pirouette at a time. And you know what? It feels absolutely amazing.
Of course, no trip is complete without a little wildlife spotting. After my ballet class, I wandered over to Westhoughton's beautiful Bolton Valley Country Park, where the birds were singing and the sun was shining, the perfect ending to my little Westhoughton adventure.
Tomorrow, I’m off to discover a hidden gem of the Derbyshire countryside, so make sure to follow along for more pink tutu escapades on www.pink-tutu.com – you never know where my adventures might take me next!
Until then, keep dancing and remember – life is a ballet, so always twirl with a smile!
Lots of love, Emma
Emma's Westhoughton Outfit BreakdownHere’s a breakdown of my look today for those of you who want to try a little bit of my style for yourselves.
Tutu: As always, a bright pink tutu with soft layers. It’s my signature piece and brings out my inner ballerina no matter where I am!
Top: A delicate white lace top. It’s soft, elegant, and pairs well with the pink tutu for a hint of femininity.
Shoes: White ballerina shoes, comfy for walking around town, and the perfect finishing touch for my ballerina outfit!
Hair: Long blonde waves. For Westhoughton, I went with a casual half-up-half-down style to give a laid-back bohemian feel, perfectly matching the charming vintage vibes of the town.
Make-up: A touch of pink blush and rosy lip colour. It's natural and elegant – you always want to look your best while exploring!
