A few years ago, I made a list of 30 things I wanted to do before I turned 30. Some of my ‘things’ were quite elaborate, some were simpler. I achieved 16 before my 30th birthday at the beginning of the month. I mean, it’s over half and considering there has been a global pandemic for over 18 months of it I’d say that’s pretty good going! Some of the things I ticked off my list have been some of the best memories of the last few years! Let’s take a look…

Reopening of Showcase Cinema de Lux Bluewater
Collaborative Post (Gifted)¦ What was the last ‘normal’ thing you did before the lockdown at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic? For us, it was going to see Zog and The Highway Rat at Showcase Cinemas de Lux Bluewater last March! It seems a lifetime ago now. Although cinemas opened again for a while last year, I was heavily pregnant with Reuben and largely self-isolating. Therefore, with the re-opening of cinemas this week it almost felt like we’d come full circle when we went to see Peter Rabbit 2 yesterday.
Zog and The Highway Rat at Showcase Cinema de Lux Bluewater
In the current climate, it seems really odd that only last weekend we were at the cinema. It’s certainly felt like longer than a week with all the news and tension. However, our last cinema trip for the foreseeable future was a lovely experience. Last Saturday, we were invited to see a screening of Julia Donaldson’s Zog and The Highway Rat at Showcase Cinema de Lux Bluewater. Autumn, Dave and I were really excited to see it and relax in the luxurious reclining chairs that make the cinema experience so much better!
Big Screen Heroes Take Flight at Showcase Cinema
Gifted (Cinema Experience)¦ Unfortunately I didn’t get to go with Autumn for her first cinema visit, so on Saturday morning I was excited to go to the cinema with her for the first time. We were invited to see Showcase Cinema de Lux Bluewater’s screening of Big Screen Heroes: PAW Patrol and Top Wing. Autumn enjoys Top Wing and is a HUGE fan of Paw Patrol, so she couldn’t wait either!
PAW Patrol: Mighty Pups preview at Showcase Cinema de Lux
Gifted¦ On Saturday, Autumn and my husband went to Showcase Cinema de Lux Bluewater for the preview of PAW Patrol: Mighty Pups. It was her first time going to the cinema and she was very excited. PAW Patrol is actually her favourite programme at the moment. Naturally, she was keen to take along her Skye toy to watch the movie from the plush reclining seats and meet the pups!
