The 2nd April 2024 marks 15 years of blogging here on Chimmyville! It’s quite hard to believe I’ve been had my blog for 15 years now. Although, technically I’ve had a personal website since 2005 – but it was more of a place to store my pixel creations and creative writing. It’s certainly changed a lot since then though, and continues to grow and evolve, too. Since 15 years is…

10 Bookish Questions Tag
I was kindly tagged to answer the 10 Bookish Questions tag – and as reading is one of my favourite passtimes, I couldn’t say know.

In case the title wasn’t clear enough… I’m now an Auntie! 😀 Yep, my sister gave birth to two beautiful twins (a boy and a girl) last week.

Have you ever? Fandom Edition
Being a geek I have a fair share of favourite fandoms, the main ones being Buffy the vampire slayer and Star Wars, but there are others too (like Doctor Who and True Blood).

Have You Ever? Tag – Convention Edition
For me, the end of July usually means London Film and Comic Con, which is one of the highlights of the convention calendar for me. It also marks the Summer – Autumn convention season, which means I get to spend time with my convention family and like minded people. But sadly, like most large events most conventions been put on hold until later in the year. 🙁 Which is a…

It’s the 1st of September which means children across the UK are opening their letters and beginning their journey to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry…. well, in the fictional world at least! 😉 So to mark the occasion, I thought I’d celebrate this wonderful book and movie series by answering the Back to Hogwarts Tag which Meagan kindly nominated me for. Make sure to check out her blog if…
