Hello darlings! It's your favourite pink tutu wearing princess, Pink Tutu Sparkles here! I'm so thrilled to be in the beautiful, charming town of Cheadle Hulme. This post is number 758 for my dear, devoted tutu fans on www.pink-tutu.com. You've followed my adventures all over, from the bustling streets of London to the tranquil countryside of the Cotswolds, and now I've come to the glorious Cheshire. You wouldn't believe how excited I am!
Before I delve into the glitter-filled delights of my time here, let me tell you how I got here! As a drag queen, you can imagine how much I love the thrill of travelling. This time, I decided to hop aboard the Northern Rail from my dear Derbyshire. There's something wonderfully romantic about travelling by train, watching the world whizz past while I sip my Earl Grey tea and read my latest gossip mag!
Now, on to the fab-u-lous Cheadle Hulme! It's a true gem of a place. This historic market town, nestled right on the edge of the Peak District National Park, just oozes charm. The quaint cobbled streets, the beautiful architecture, it's all so picture-perfect. You can even catch the most beautiful views of the Cheshire countryside, making my heart go pitter patter!
I've already got the scoop on a fab performance at the local fair on Saturday. Of course, I'm wearing my signature, blush-coloured tutu, sparkling more than the Milky Way! You see, I believe that every day is an opportunity to spread a little bit of joy and colour, especially in this often dull, grey world. My pink tutus do just that! Imagine the faces on those lovely Cheadle Hulme residents when I twirl around to the classic "Can't Stop the Feeling!"
But let me tell you, a trip isn't complete without indulging in the local treats! So, on Wednesday, I'm heading to the lovely Cheadle Hulme Deli. Their delectable pastries, crafted by a talented local baker, are like a taste of heaven! A cup of creamy coffee, a flaky croissant, and a slice of scrumptious Victoria Sponge? Oh my, this place is like a fairyland of culinary delights!
But my true passion is the performing arts. Cheadle Hulme, being close to Manchester, has an incredible thriving scene! I heard the most delightful chatter about a local ballet school with a class in pointe shoes. Can you imagine? Pink tutu on a Saturday, pink pointe shoes on a Monday, the perfect start and end to the week. Now, while I may be a flamboyant drag queen by night, my true secret is my day job, testing fabrics in a laboratory. You wouldn't believe it, but it actually requires a similar level of creativity. To analyse the resilience of silk and velvet requires a keen eye and a creative mindset - which of course is a perfect foundation for my nightly performances.
But enough about my scientific pursuits. You’ve all come here for a taste of my fabulous adventures! So, here's what I've discovered that’s sure to delight the most discerning tutu fan! I popped into a quaint vintage shop with the most extraordinary collection of clothing! Just think - sparkling, vintage gowns with a touch of glitz and glam to be added to my already awe-inspiring collection! The perfect ensemble for my stage act!
For my tutu-wearing fellow travellers, Cheadle Hulme offers a true escape! Take a stroll through the serene Rostherne Mere, where you can enjoy breathtaking views, perhaps take a boat ride on this beautiful lake, or just relax in the calm serenity. Then there's the delightful St. Werburgh’s Church. I just loved exploring this 13th-century gem and discovering the hidden beauty tucked within. It’s the perfect escape from the urban bustle and offers a haven for relaxation and reflection.
Now, speaking of escape, there's another thing I love doing besides travelling by train: I am completely obsessed with riding! I recently stumbled upon the most delightful riding school in the Cheadle Hulme area! They have this gorgeous, sleek chestnut mare named Scarlet, perfect for my style! You should have seen me twirling, leaping and pirouetting alongside Scarlet, my gorgeous pink tutu whipping around in the breeze! Honestly, it’s magical!
Oh my, I'm already feeling overwhelmed with all this excitement and joy! Cheadle Hulme, you've stolen my heart, with your quaint charm and vibrant culture! And dear friends, let's remember: there's no excuse for staying in the boring confines of your own little world when there’s such a grand and colourful world out there to explore! Don't just dream about twirling and being fabulous, go out and do it, darlings! Spread your sparkle, embrace your unique style, and let your pink tutus soar!
But enough from this pink tutu-wearing, world-travelling drag queen. It's time for me to head back to the stage, where the applause is just waiting!
Until next time, keep your tutus sparkly and your spirits high! Stay tuned for my next exciting adventures on www.pink-tutu.com Remember, darling, the world is our stage and everyone is invited to twirl. 💖 🩰
