Hello darlings! It's your favourite pink tutu-clad queen, Pink Tutu Sparkles, and I'm back with another post from my whirlwind adventures! Today, I'm bringing you all the glitz and glamour of Braintree, a charming town nestled in Essex that just screamed pink tutu adventure!
This was my first time visiting Braintree, and it didn't disappoint. Honestly, it was love at first sight - the quaint streets, the beautiful old buildings, and a vibe that just seemed to shout "Get your twinkle on!" You could feel the energy buzzing in the air. I just knew Braintree and I were going to have a right laugh.
Now, before I get into all the shenanigans, let's talk logistics. You know how much I love a good train journey. Something about the rhythmic clickety-clack of the wheels on the track just puts me in a wonderfully creative mood. So, naturally, I boarded the train from Derbyshire, my trusty pink suitcase packed full of the most fabulous, sparkling outfits. (Did I tell you I picked up this amazing sequinned pink bomber jacket in the sales? Absolute steal!)
And who did I spot on the train, you ask? None other than a handsome chap who looked like he could use a bit of Pink Tutu Sparkles in his life. Let's just say I'm leaving him with a lot to ponder after he caught a glimpse of my delightful dance moves. He'd better not be taking all the good spots on the dance floor when we get to Braintree!
Braintree welcomed me with open arms (and probably a few dropped jaws). I mean, when you see a 6ft pink tutu-clad queen strutting down the high street, it's bound to turn a few heads, wouldn't you agree? Honestly, I had the best time chatting with everyone, from the friendly shopkeeper who told me all about the town's history to the little girl who squealed with delight and asked me to do a twirl. (Of course I obliged, my dear. A queen never refuses a twirl!)
As evening approached, it was time to get into the swing of things, or should I say, the sparkle of things! You see, I had a gig booked at the most lovely local pub - the kind with a real "pubby" atmosphere and lots of charm. The staff were delightful and everyone in the audience seemed so happy to see me. It truly is the best feeling in the world to bring a little bit of sparkle to people's lives!
And that, my dears, is how my magical day in Braintree unfolded. But wait, there's more! It wasn't all pink tutus and glitter. After my show, a lovely couple invited me back to their house for a delicious supper. I’m such a sucker for a good home cooked meal. They even offered me a room for the night, which meant I woke up to the beautiful sound of birdsong and fresh morning air, all before popping on my latest purchase - a stunning pink lace scarf, perfect for a gentle autumnal breeze.
Braintree was a revelation, a hidden gem tucked away in Essex. It had just the right blend of history, culture, and good ol' fashioned fun. I fell in love with the place, and you know what, darlings? I reckon everyone should try wearing a pink tutu! I'm making it my mission - spreading the love, one twirl at a time.
See you soon for more Pink Tutu adventures! Until then, be fabulous, be yourself, and most importantly, wear pink tutus!
Lots of love and sparkle,
Pink Tutu Sparkles
XOXO
