Hello my darlings! It's your favourite pink tutu-wearing queen, Pink Tutu Sparkles, here with another instalment of my travelogue! Buckle up, buttercups, because we're heading south today, to the charmingly quaint town of Coulsdon!
Coulsdon, with its quaint charm and picture-perfect English village vibe, really did tick all the right boxes for a fabulous, fairytale-themed performance. Just imagine, darling: cobbled streets lined with pretty cottages, the scent of freshly baked scones in the air, and me, shimmering in a vibrant pink tutu, radiating sunshine and pure joy! You just can't get a more magical setting, can you?
Now, I'll let you in on a little secret: the journey to Coulsdon was a little bit unconventional, to say the least! I was feeling quite adventurous and had booked myself a ride on a magnificent Clydesdale horse and cart! The ride through the countryside was a joy: I felt like I was stepping straight into a scene from a Jane Austen novel! My majestic steed was as pink as my tutu, naturally, and his name? Sparkle! Isn't that just too cute for words?
The performance itself was simply divine! My act, which I call "A Tutu Tale of a Fairytale," was an ode to all things sparkly and dreamy. I had the entire town enchanted! Think: whimsical melodies, twirling tutus, and my own brand of sassy wit and charm, naturally! The audience, composed of families, giggling children, and even some rather posh-looking older ladies (who all agreed my tutu was the most delightful thing they'd ever seen!) gave me the biggest applause, which made my heart swell with pride!
Afterwards, I popped into a delightful tearoom for a spot of tea and scones. Of course, I couldn't resist a little "pinkificaiton"! I just HAD to pick up some pretty pink ribbons to add to my hair. Darling, you know I can't resist a splash of colour!
As the evening approached, I found myself feeling incredibly inspired! So much so, I took to the town square and hosted a pop-up ballet class, using the charming cobblestone streets as my stage. I had some enthusiastic young ones join me, with the locals watching on, grinning ear to ear. I think we had everyone tapping their feet! It was just magical.
By the time the sun dipped low and painted the sky in a gorgeous swirl of pinks and oranges, it was time for me to head back to my comfy little B&B. But I didn't go without a final little touch of pink magic. I stumbled upon the most adorable antique shop, where I unearthed a stunning, vintage pink teacup. You bet it’s going straight onto my dressing table, darling! It’s a reminder that a sprinkle of magic and a dash of pink can brighten up any day, don't you agree?
And now, my sweet readers, I must bid you adieu. Next week's destination is a mystery! Will I take the train? Will I ride another magical horse? Only time will tell! Keep those eyes peeled, my lovelies, and don't forget to check back next week! And don't forget: everyone looks fab in a pink tutu, so join me in the glorious world of pink!

Until next time, stay sparkly!
Much love and glitter, Pink Tutu Sparkles
P.S. Want to know how my tutu-loving journey began?
Well, it all started with a university charity fundraiser, darling! I was studying science back then – think test tubes, chemicals, and all that boring stuff! – but in my free time, I belonged to the university ballet club. They were holding a charity ball and needed someone to wear a tutu. Now, you all know my love affair with tutus began there! I tried on that shimmering pink creation and felt a spark, an undeniable "YES" running through me! From then on, I was hooked! By day, I'm in a lab, testing fabrics (very scientific!), and by night? You'll find me dazzling the world in my tutu.
You know what they say: even scientists can be queens! So if you’re ever feeling down or lost, just remember: it's okay to embrace the sparkle, be a little fabulous, and spread joy in a pink tutu! That's my motto, darlings!
