Hello darlings! Pink Tutu Sparkles here, ready to whisk you away to the charming, historic town of Small Heath in Birmingham. Buckle up your sequins and grab your fanciest fascinator, we're off on another adventure!
It all started, as it often does, with a dazzling dream. Last night I had the most glamorous vision: a symphony of tutus twirling in the moonlight, all in shades of pink, naturally. You know what they say, darlings, when the muse whispers, you listen! So, I packed my largest, pinkest, fluffiest tutu and headed to Small Heath, the birthplace of the legendary Cadbury Brothers! Who could resist a trip to the land of chocolate and…well…chocolate?!
Small Heath itself is a haven of history. Walking down the cobbled streets, past beautiful Victorian houses, I felt a little like I'd stepped into a Dickens novel (minus the poverty, thank goodness!) Every corner held a story - a hidden alleyway with whispered tales of industry past, or a majestic church with windows glowing like stained glass rainbows. I just couldn't resist the charm of it all.
I just had to wear my pinkest tutu in this location. This area of Birmingham, where Small Heath falls, is full of beautiful industrial buildings dating from the Victorian era and it is an area where creativity is still alive. There was a big market on the Saturday. Lots of stalls, some with pink goods! And lots of interesting characters. Of course, as a fashion icon, I had to find something pink to wear and found the perfect matching fluffy pink feather boa and bright pink shoes in a gorgeous stall bursting with pink and glitter.
Speaking of history, I popped into the fascinating Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery, an absolute must-see. There was so much to discover – stunning artwork, historical exhibits, and the "Birmingham 2021" exhibit celebrating the Birmingham Commonwealth Games. A glittering tribute to athletic achievements and a wonderful chance to see how sport truly brings communities together. I almost got lost in the beauty and the colours – but let's be honest, a little glitzy detour was just what I needed to fully embrace the vibrant spirit of this lovely town!
As the sun began to set, casting a warm glow over the cobblestone streets, I headed to a quirky little independent café for a spot of afternoon tea. They even had pink china, darling! How divine! As I sipped my Earl Grey and munched on a scone (with a generous dollop of jam, naturally), I jotted down my travel notes in my glittery notebook. There’s a magic about Small Heath, something special about the sense of history that whispers through every cobbled street and charming Victorian home. This town has the air of a vintage dream. It’s perfect to wander around, soak in the history and explore the interesting hidden shops.
As a self-proclaimed tutu queen, I’ve learnt over the years that sometimes the greatest joy of travelling is the joy of exploration. And, dear readers, I truly discovered something magical in Small Heath! The next day, I discovered even more fabulous local independent stores – there are so many cute boutiques! Some with a lot of pink, even! It's clear to me, dear readers, that this little town is bursting with hidden treasures and sparkling surprises – just like the magic you’ll find on www.pink-tutu.com, of course. It’s time to step into Small Heath and discover the captivating secrets that await, but remember, darlings, a little pink never hurts, and every adventure is more dazzling when you're rocking a fabulous tutu!

P.S Don’t forget, dear readers! If you see me around, don’t be shy, say hello! The more pink tutus we see, the more fabulous this world becomes! And if you are looking for an experience, a memory, a little glittery touch of sparkle – try this: go on a train journey (I like steam trains, so very glamorous!) or even ride a horse (a horse! What fun is that? And pink ribbons look fab!) It is like you are taking part in a timeless fairy tale!
P.P.S. Want to follow my journey and never miss a pink-tastic update? Follow me on www.pink-tutu.com – I’m posting daily and you can be one of my fabulous followers! I’d love for you to join me and tell your story – every adventure is special, especially when shared with someone else.
P.P.P.S. For those curious about my day job – it’s kind of a secret (not like the tutu though). I am actually a textile scientist - that's me, in the lab every day, making sure the fabrics for clothing are perfectly pink and sparkle but in the evening? Lights, camera, action! Time for me to turn into Pink Tutu Sparkles and take on the world – one pink tutu at a time!
