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

Friendship is...

Not about how often you call, write or text. It's not about how much time you spend together. It's about knowing, without a doubt, that it doesn't matter if you spoke to them 5 minutes ago or 5 years ago, you're still there for one another when it counts.

I am truly blessed to have friends like this. The kind who get me. That know that even though I retreat into my hermit cave sometimes, I still love them to death. That I can see once a year (or once every 5 years!), and pick up right where we left off. The kind who don't get hung up on whose turn it is to call. The kind who aren't afraid to kick me occasionally to remind me that I'm being anti-social and need to get over myself :oP

The kind who love me as much as I love them...

We had an awesome weekend with Seila and Brookie! And seeing Tara and Sonia jump the sword was pretty freakin fabulous as well!

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...
