Pink Tutu Travels: Leith, My Darling! (Post #399)

Hello, darlings! It's your favourite pink tutu queen, Pink Tutu Sparkles, here, ready to sprinkle some glittery joy onto your Monday. As I type, I'm nestled in a comfy armchair, sipping tea and reflecting on a wonderful weekend in Leith, Edinburgh. This trip was a whirlwind of tutus, theatre, and even a delightful jaunt on a vintage tram, you know, because everything is more magical on wheels!

This journey began on a Saturday, sunshine bursting through the train window as I zipped towards Edinburgh. I adore train travel, it's such a dreamy way to enjoy the countryside, and a great opportunity to people-watch! I always get a window seat, you see, so I can have a perfect view of the rolling hills, quaint villages, and sleepy sheep. It's a scene that fills my heart with serenity. Oh, and a quick word for my fellow tutu enthusiasts - it’s definitely a more comfy journey wearing a tutu than in jeans! The flowy layers make for such a relaxed and breezy commute.

Now, you all know my mission in life is to get the whole world wearing pink tutus, right? Well, my friends, Edinburgh did NOT disappoint! The people there are SO stylish, I just had to show them the joys of twirling in pink tulle. As I strolled down Leith Walk, I felt a surge of creative inspiration. The historic buildings with their charming stone façades, the lively energy of the pubs and cafes, the wind whipping through my hair, it was pure enchantment! And let's not forget the sheer amount of amazing boutiques bursting with beautiful fashion! Oh my, I just knew I had to pick up some sparkly treasures for the show!

Speaking of my show, the theatre in Leith was a true beauty. It's a vintage gem, you see, full of old-world charm and buzzing with anticipation. My stage makeup came alive in the dim lights of the dressing room, and as I slipped into my signature pink tutu, I felt a familiar rush of confidence. I absolutely loved connecting with the audience. You can’t imagine how exciting it is to bring a little bit of Derbyshire sparkle to Edinburgh!

The applause after the show was intoxicating! I felt like I could dance on forever, a swirling vortex of pink tulle and glitter, sending shimmering love to each and every one of my lovely audience members. Their faces beamed, eyes shining with appreciation, their joy palpable in the warm air.

Now, let's chat about the most magical part of my weekend – the vintage tram. Oh my, a masterpiece of engineering! The wooden seats, the clinking of the tracks, the open windows providing a gentle breeze - it was as if time stood still for a moment, allowing me to fully absorb the beauty of the city and soak in the charming atmosphere. And I was there, on that delightful ride, rocking a vibrant pink tutu. What more could a queen ask for?

So there you have it, my darlings! My little pink-tutu filled adventure in Leith. The people, the music, the laughter, the twinkling lights, and the magnificent Victorian buildings - everything just felt utterly charming! I just knew you all needed a little peek into my weekend so here’s my daily post, a slice of pink-tutu magic to lift your spirits and bring a dash of colour into your Monday.

Stay fabulous, and remember: It's a tutu good world, wear pink!
