Just before Christmas in England, the whole family went to see the annual pantomime at the local village theatre. What a lot of fun it was, packed with songs, slapstick, silliness and an abundance of fairy-tale magic. Cinderella has always been one of my favourite childhood stories. I remember as a child, feeling such satisfaction when the ugly sisters’ big feet wouldn’t fit into the glass slipper and the beautiful Cinders was brought forth from the scullery to try it on. This was romance at its best. After the show, I managed to get a photo of the happy couple. I knew it would come in useful, and it does seem perfect for Nancy’s Photo a Week Challenge: ‘Romance’.
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend. I’m looking forward to attending a dinner dance this evening with my Prince Charming. What are your plans?
Cinderella is romance at it’s best, Sylvia, I hope you had a wonderful evening with your Prince Charming xxx
Beautiful! This reminds me the movies i have watched last week. Best of luck to you Cinderella and your prince.
Thanks so much for your visit and comment. 🙂
Tanti auguri!
Thanks Anna, but it isn’t my birthday until July. 🙂
Ahh..how lovely and romantic, gorgeous pic 🙂 I hope you had a wonderful time at your dinner dance Sylvia, with your very own Prince Charming ❤ See you in the week, sending lots of love 🙂 xx
Thanks so much, Sherri. We had a wonderful evening. 😃
I’m so glad dear Sylvia! 🙂 xx
Schönes Romantisches Foto wünsche einen schönen Sonntag lieber Gruß und Umarmung Gislinde
Thanks so much, Gislinde. Happy Sunday to you too. *hugs* back. 🙂
Truly charming. Pantos are such fun.
Yes they are. Thank you. 🙂
I am catching you in the middle of the weekend, Sylvia. I liked the romantic couple from the performance. I am so happy you have your own Prince Charming and won’t expect to hear from you tonight. ♡♡
Thanks, Robin. We did have a wonderful evening, and enjoyed the dancing and the company of good friends, as much as the delicious food. 🙂
That looks awesome! Very well done:)
They were a very sweet couple and good actors too. 🙂
Well, I guess that was yesterday now so I hope you enjoyed your evening with Prince Charming. We were out too – dinner and a concert – a great start to the weekend. Enjoy the rest of it!
Thanks so much, Anabel. Hope your evening out was equally as enjoyable as ours. 🙂
Happy couple indeed. That happy ending has always been a symbol of hope to most of us.
Thanks, Sony. Yes indeed. 🙂
Great photo and I regret not getting some photos over the years – like once we saw phantom of opera and the star was out selling CDs and my son went snd got ours and they talked for like 5 minutes – she was in her dress and makeup and His little ten year old frame with tie and coat – so cute! I have the image in my mind and wish I had s photo – and so i am extra glad for you that u were able to snap this cool memory shot! Hope your weekend is nice with Prince Charming! 💚💛 we are indoors with storm snow ! ❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️
Thanks, Yvette. You have to take the shot whilst you have the chance, or it’s gone forever. 😦 Hope you’re managing to keep warm up there. xx
Hi S! Yes ma’am – we are staying hunkered down and thankfully Richmond did not get hit as much as DC and Baltimore – but now it’s clean up!
And hope u had a nice time with Prince Charming 💚💛💜
That’s good to hear. Yes we had a great Friday evening. 😃😘
💛😊
What a lovely couple. Enjoy your dinner dance, while I’m waiting for my purrince 😀 Extra Happy Pawkisses for the weekend 🙂 ❤
Thanks so much, Binky. It was a lovely dinner and dance. Hugs to you and granny. 🙂
Looks like so much fun Sylvia. Happy memories.
Thanks, Sue. Yes, very happy memories. 🙂
We’re celebrating being in Florida . . . and not in the middle of a blizzard! Enjoy the dance.
Thanks, Nancy. Yes, glad we’re not up north, it’s quite cold enough down here. 🙂
A wonderful photo and a story is always the beginning of something pretty special.
Thanks, Charlie. Yes it is. 🙂
A lovely Cinder with her Prince! Have a wonderful evening with your own Prince Charming, Sylvia.
Thanks so much Carol. Time to don my glad rags now. 😘
Oh, that’s a cute photo and perfect for a Romance challenge. We have a four day weekend for Australia Day and so far there are no plans, which is fine by me. It’s just nice to be at home.
Thanks so much. Hope you’re enjoying your super long weekend. 🙂
Pure, utter sweetness! I sent my prince south to put down the new flooring while I try to wade through disgusting tax stuff without distraction. I suspect we’ll both get a bit more done that way… though I should quit blogging. How DO you find the time???
It doesn’t take very long to put a post together, especially if I already have the photo(s). I think in the next couple of weeks, I’m going to really have to cut down a lot on my blogging time though. Good luck with the tax stuff. xx
It’s not the posting that eats up so much time. It’s commenting and replying to comments. AND… some of the blogs I follow can get extremely wordy!!! 😀
I agree with you. Some are quite daunting. 😕
Very sweet Sylvia…childhood memories are then best!
Thanks, Heather. Yes they are. 🙂
That’s very sweet, have a lovely weekend!
Thanks, Gilly. 🙂
Aw shucks…you mean you do not want to attend a birthday party with 37 screaming 5 year olds? LOl Cheryl x
I think I’ll give that a swerve, Cheryl. Good luck. 😃
I do not blame you one iota Sylvia-I have my headache tabs handy for tomorrow!! LOL
😰

What a cute photo, Sylvia! We’re having an ice storm, so I’m iced in with my Prince…which is fine by me. 🙂 Enjoy your night of dining and dancing. ❤
Thanks, Jill. Being iced in with your Prince sounds just perfect. Keep one another warm. 🙂
Have yourself a wonderful weekend with your Prince Charming, Sylvia. And this photo was just “charming”. (smile) ❤
Hahaha Thanks so much, Amy. 🙂 xx
Ooooo ek het ook elke jaar in Johannesburg gaan kyk
It wouldn’t be Christmas without a pantomime. 🙂
Ons woon te ver om heen en weer te ry so ek kom min daar
Wish you and the prince an amazing evening… 🙂
Thanks, Drake. 🙂
Cinderella and her Prince are the just choice for the challenge.
Thanks so much, Marylou. 🙂
What a wonderful tradition. Cinderella and her Prince are perfect for this challenge. Thanks for joining!
