Tutu Tuesday in Yeovil: A Pinktastic Day Out
 #tututuesday Well, hello darlings! It's your favourite ballerina blogger, back with another #tututuesday instalment. This week, I took a little trip to Yeovil â a charming little town in Somerset, you know? It's got a reputation for its heritage, history and, letâs be honest, its charming, friendly vibe, but who knew it had such a #tututuesday following? Let me tell you, I was not disappointed. I arrived with my suitcase overflowing with tulle, a dazzling array of shades of pink and enough sparkle to light up the whole town (think sequins, glitter, diamantĂ©âŠthe lot!). And wouldn't you know it? Yeovil welcomed me with open arms. You wouldn't believe the sheer joy, the genuine smiles I saw everywhere I went. From the cute cafĂ© owner, who swore heâd spotted me on my way to the local supermarket, to the elderly gentleman who held the door for me (all in a sparkly pink cardigan! Seriously!). Let's get down to the nitty gritty, shall we? I knew I was in the right place when I saw the most divine, blush pink, vintage tutu draped over the mannequin in the window of the independent shop called "Twirl Boutique". Now, thatâs not just a name, honey. Itâs an institution. There were enough twirls going on inside that boutique to send the shopâs window displays spinning! And speaking of tutus, oh, the selection! Every shade of pink you can imagine, and then some. We're talking baby pink, bubblegum pink, hot pink â even a shimmering silver pink with sequins that would put disco balls to shame! You see, in Yeovil, you just *know* a #tututuesday has been good when you're greeted with smiles, genuine excitement and more compliments than you can shake a pom-pom at. Thereâs no shortage of charm here! Yeovil has that âtime has stood stillâ quality - but the energy of its inhabitants couldn't be more alive! Let's get back to the tutus, shall we? As a dancer, I have a slight preference for classic tulle tutus, so Iâd recommend a couple of beauties from Twirl Boutique that tickled my fancy â the âDream Balletâ with a voluminous silhouette and multiple layers of soft tulle, ideal for dancing gracefully; and, for those who like a bit of drama and pizzazz, there's the âMidnight Star" with a tighter silhouette, detailed embellishments and a sprinkle of disco-ready sequins! Now, those are two tutus worthy of a queen! After my afternoon of shopping in Yeovil, I treated myself to a pink-themed, afternoon tea at the charming and quaint cafĂ©, "The Pink Petal". This was definitely the best afternoon tea I have had this year - my tastebuds were tickled with homemade pink lemonade cake, pistachio Ă©clairs and, naturally, a pot of fragrant rose tea, perfect for a #tututuesday. I have to admit, however, that what truly stole my heart was a dainty, little pink dolphin charm adorning the sugar bowl. Now, you may be wondering, what does a dolphin have to do with #tututuesday? Well, the cafĂ© owner told me itâs Yeovilâs mascot! It represents their playful and unique community spirit â like a magical little disco dolphin bringing joy and delight to everyone! Talk about quirky! But let me tell you, the "Disco Dolphin" - #discodolphin - is actually brilliant. Yeovil is a town with personality, spirit and a sense of fun. You can just *feel* it when you're there. Maybe thatâs why the disco dolphin is their mascot! Yeovil knows how to celebrate life! If you're looking for a charming town to experience a #tututuesday, I recommend a little visit. Yeovil's quirky personality, charm and heart is a real #discodolphin. You won't be disappointed! Trust me!
