I just had a browse back through some of my IRL adventure-related tags on my blog and then I realised that it’s been 3 years (to the month, I don’t know the date) since I started watching this Dumb Show. And the places that it’s taken me, taken us, as a result... it’s Wild.

I have so many close friends who I’ve spoken to on a daily basis - or near enough to it - for over two of those three years.

I’m so grateful to the good parts of this community, and I’m so excited that All About Eve is going to bring so many of us together (both physically, and spiritually) all over again over the next few months.

I’ve been lucky, and everyone I’ve spoken to as a result of this fandom is a real good egg. Love yous.
