Darling, prepare for a trip of pure pink perfection! I’m so excited to share all the glamorous goings-on of my recent journey to Bridgwater, a town in the heart of Somerset. As you know, I love exploring new places, and this trip promised an array of delights. Think twirling under a summer sky, a sprinkle of sparkle, and a touch of dramatic theatre! It was a proper fab time, let me tell you!
The journey is half the fun!
Now, I wouldn't dream of travelling any other way than in style! Luckily, I managed to catch a vintage train down to Bridgwater - a grand old steam train, darling, puffing and chugging along like a magical machine! It felt like a fairytale journey through the English countryside, all emerald fields and fluffy clouds! Of course, I wasn’t going to be caught dead in my usual travelling garb. I donned a shimmering, hot pink tulle tutu, a fluffy lavender bolero, and a pair of sparkly kitten heels that clicked happily on the carriage floor. Imagine my delight when a young lad wearing a blue tutu boarded with his Mum - what a cute ensemble, darling! We exchanged a cheeky smile and wink! Oh, my word, I even had a little chat with a chap who looked a tad shocked at first but then chuckled with a big grin and told me his daughter loved to twirl around in pink tutus! The magic of tutus is undeniable, lovelies!
Bridgwater is a real charmer!
This charming town had everything a fabulous Tutu Queen could desire: an ancient castle, a bustling marketplace, and an abundance of pink blooms everywhere I turned! Oh, darling, the roses! Absolutely divine. As I strolled along the streets, I just couldn’t resist pulling a few dainty blossoms and making a lovely little head-crown - simply stunning, wouldn’t you agree?
My first port of call was Bridgwater Castle, an absolute treasure! It was built on the site of a Roman settlement, believe it or not, and its history dates back to 1139! Such majestic old stone walls, complete with crenellations, turrets, and an old drawbridge. The castle felt so alive and bustling! I couldn't resist capturing it in all its glory - a quick little photoshoot for the Pink-Tutu blog, darling. It had to be a tutu twirl amidst the grandeur. A fab location for a fabulous frock!
Next on my itinerary was the charming market, overflowing with fresh fruit, cheeses, homemade jams and cakes, darling. You just know it was a scene worthy of my fabulous fashion flair! As a good Tutu Queen, I simply couldn’t resist getting some of that gorgeous local produce! It made me feel utterly charming and vibrant. And of course, it’s vital to keep the wardrobe well-nourished with new pieces and outfits - shopping therapy is the best! The market was the perfect place to nab a few quirky vintage finds - a blush-coloured flower hat and a divine lavender feathered fan - all to complement my sparkling pink tulle, of course!
Twirling under the stars
I simply couldn't leave Bridgwater without a night of sparkling, shimmering entertainment. I'd heard rumours about an annual ballet performance on the town square! My favourite form of dance and right in the middle of this darling town - why ever not? I made sure to arrive in a show-stopping ensemble: a sparkling silver-trimmed tutu and a deep pink, shimmering, floor-length robe! It made the stage lights bounce right back! And let me tell you, it was a breathtaking spectacle! There were amazing performances from some incredibly talented young dancers. They glided across the stage with grace and elegance - absolutely enchanting.
After the show, I managed to find the town's newest theatre, nestled snuggly between the old market and a charming Victorian tearoom! They've got a great line up of performances - you'd best believe, my lovely, that I was quick to secure my ticket for a lively musical, complete with spectacular costumes and plenty of dancing - absolutely splendid! The audience erupted in cheers and applause! They even gave me a standing ovation at the end - and all for a single, simple reason: pink. Well, actually, they seemed to be just a little enthralled by the majestic spectacle of Pink Tutu Sparkles strutting through the theatre, I suppose...
My pink tutu quest continues!
After a weekend of dancing, shopping, and exploring the delightful delights of Bridgwater, I must admit, darling, I've already started dreaming about my next pink tutu escapade. Maybe I'll head for the charming shores of Cornwall! Or, maybe I’ll pack my bags and set sail for Isle of Wight... Wherever my sparkly, pink-filled adventure takes me, you can be sure to catch all the exciting details here on www.pink-tutu.com!
Until then, darling, never stop twirling!
