I’ve just been to Portugal for a few days of winter sun and was amused when I saw these holiday makers dressed as Santas. It reminded me that with Christmas just around the corner, all over Britain people will be dressing up for pantomimes. In the festive season, the pantomime, or ‘panto’ as most people call it, is performed in theatres everywhere. So, what is a panto? In brief, it’s a fun show aimed at children. It apparently originated in Italy and came to England in the 17th Century, we immediately took it to our hearts and it has remained a quintessential part of British Christmas ever since.

Living in London I’m very lucky to be able to go to art galleries free, I have my favourites of course; I love 18th century art and my favourite rooms in the National Gallery are rooms 34 and 35 (British artists like Gainsborough, Turner, Reynolds etc.)
