Our cinema room is beautiful, it is spacious and modern and the perfect location for many of our activities. We have spent many a happy hour in there, taking afternoon tea, crafting, partying and of course watching films whilst munching on popcorn.

It’s some years since I have been to the cinema, as a teenager it was one of my favourite things to do. Cinemas back then were quite different to the way they are now, today the buildings are far more modern, when I was younger, they were grand and opulent with winding staircases with golden bannisters, they had soaring ceilings with beautiful light fittings and the staff were smartly dressed in uniforms they were proud to wear. It was a wonderful night out.

I think our cinema room is my favourite room at Hazel End, being in there transports me back in time and reminds me of happy evenings spent transfixed by the latest film with my friends, of romantic dates and birthday celebrations with the children.

This week we chose My Fair Lady for our Saturday cinema showing. It is a personal favourite of mine. A wonderful story line accompanied by a number of catchy songs; we were humming them all day.
