Once upon a time...


In a land far far away, there lived a king and a queen and their four beautiful children... Unfortunately they were way too boring to write about, so you're all stuck with the Dimmock's instead!

We're a bit of a fractured fairytale.I can't promise to update every day...I'm a bit slack like that (shhh), but I'll do my best to keep it up.

And they all lived happily ever after...well that's the plan at least :oP

Happy Easter!

Hope Easter Bunny was generous this year. He was in this house. I think Saxon is going to be on a chocolate high for the next 6 months at least!

We've had a running game of "find the chicken" in our house for the last couple of days. As everyone who knows me well probably knows by now, I'm not the most naturally happy person in the world (I'm working in on it!). Because of that, my fantabulous husband is always doing little (and sometimes not so little) things to make me smile. His latest involves tiny yellow fluffy chicks planted all over the house. It started with one stuck in a capsicum in the fridge (I used it as my 365 photo a few days ago), and has gone from there. I've found them in the coffee jar, on the webcam, on my office shelves, sitting on top of my bedroom lamp, and a whole flock of them nesting on our wedding photo's in the hallway. Soooo cute...and they've definitely made me smile.

A little about us...ok, mostly me...

Hey there! I'm guessing that most people who drop by to visit us here already know who we are, but just in case...

My name's Nikki. I'm mum to 4 (yeah, 4...can you believe it? No, me either *shudder*) kids, aged from 16 down to 4. My husband, Steff, is originally from the UK - I stole him away from the cold and the damp to live in Central Queensland, where he must endure almost endless sunshine and blue skies. Somehow he manages ;o)

I started this blog as a way to keep family in England up to date with our comings and goings. And it lets me show off how cute the kids are getting!

A little about me...I'm a professional photographer, I'm obsessive about Buffy the Vampire Slayer, love Harry Potter, Sookie Stackhouse (only book Sookie, not True Blood Sookie. It's an important distinction!), (the 10th) Doctor Who, cupcakes, and Spuffy fanfic (although not necessarily in that order). I'm also an extreme perfectionist with a love of the creative and original, who has a very low tolerance for stupidity. If you ask my husband, he'll tell you I'm a huge snob - I'm really not. I just think I'm better than everyone else :oP (That's a joke, ok? Pretty much).

Oh, and please leave a comment to tell me how fabulous you think I am...it makes me write faster and more often ;o) No really...that part wasn't a joke...
