Hello my gorgeous lovelies! It's your girl Pink Tutu Sparkles, fresh from a whirlwind trip to Ashington, and let me tell you, it was a hoot! You know me, always on the move, always spreading the joy of the pink tutu, and Ashington was no exception.
Now, I know what you're thinking: Ashington? Seriously, Pink Tutu? Isn't that a bit... off-the-beaten-track? Well, my dears, that's just what I love! This little trip was all about discovering something new, and I can't tell you how much I enjoyed getting to know the vibrant, friendly people of Ashington. They were so welcoming and warm, and truly embraced the pink tutu spirit!
This journey, of course, was all about a fab performance, so I hopped aboard the train (who doesn't love a good train journey? Such a romantic way to travel!) with my trusty suitcase bursting with enough sequins and tulle to make a disco ball jealous. Arriving in Ashington, I was struck by the charming, slightly vintage feel of the town. Imagine cobblestone streets, quaint little shops, and a real sense of community spirit - I loved it!
Now, my performance was at the fantastic Ashington Arts Centre. You see, I always say that the most fabulous performances are the ones where you connect with the audience on a deep, emotional level. And oh my, the people of Ashington did just that!
This was my signature act, you know, the one where I come bouncing on stage in a fluffy pink tutu that literally takes up half the stage! It was just what the doctor ordered for this crowd. They loved the high energy routines, the infectious laugh-out-loud jokes, and, of course, the pink tutus! It's a true honour to share my love of dance with so many passionate souls.
Between the performance and catching the train back, I even squeezed in a quick visit to the local ballet school. Honestly, these kids are the next generation of talented dancers - I'm so inspired! They were just so eager to learn and had such a passion for dancing - a little peek into their ballet classes gave me all the feels! It's so rewarding to know I'm helping to inspire the next generation of pink tutu queens (and kings! Let's be inclusive!)
Back in my Derbyshire studio now, but Ashington is forever in my heart. My dear readers, remember, pink tutus are for everyone! It doesn't matter what town, city or country you live in, embracing a little sparkle never hurts! Don't be shy - let that inner Pink Tutu Sparkle shine through!
Right, time to plan my next trip. Maybe a trip to the seaside? Or maybe back to the capital for a flamboyant street performance. The possibilities are endless!

P.P.P.S. I nearly forgot! My lovely friend, Millie (real name Marie) from Ashington sent me the cutest postcard from her garden! You know I love gardens - anything with flowers, bees and colourful plants. You'll see it on my next post - she included some sweet handwritten words to me. What a heartwarmer.
