For the first three years I ran this blog, on the blog’s birthday (3 October) I would announce awards for the best things I reviewed that year. I called these awards the Serene Wombles.
I no longer have the energy to review regularly, so there wouldn’t be nearly enough content to warrant awards, but the first three years are preserved for posterity. Separate awards are given for Time Travelling Wombles, where I reviewed something that did not come out that year.

(No, I don’t know why I didn’t give any acting awards for 2012-13 – blame it on the fact that I was writing up the awards at a very stressful time.)
*In the sense that in gaming parlance a ‘combat womble’ is one who has designed their character to maximise their stats for combat – low on intelligence and wisdom, high on strength and dexterity – and as my blog was, at the time, named ‘In Search of the Happiness Max’, it seemed to me that one who had maximised for happiness would be a serenity womble.
Don’t judge me – it made sense at the time!
