I’m Nikki, a.k.a. The Witch. I am a mother, novice blogger, incurable romantic, and eternal optimist. I am so non-photogenic that I look better as a caricature, hence the image. Born in England, I have lived in Gibraltar for over 30 years.
My shoulders are double-jointed, which means I could escape from a straight jacket should the need ever arise. I often find I have spoken aloud something that was meant to remain just a thought, resulting in anything from stunned silence to hysterical laughter, depending on the audience. And apparently, I wrestle marauding aliens while I sleep, judging by my appearance first thing in the morning.
What else do you need to know?
I have a filthy giggle, and an enduring love for my leather jacket and Doc Martens. I hold out very little hope of ever scooping the jackpot in any lottery, since the only thing I have ever won in my life was a very large Orkney cheese. Men have always regarded me as one of the boys (blithely unaware of my yearning to be a sex symbol) and have always been impressed by my ability to down a pint of beer in one go. Strangely my fragrant mother is rather less impressed by this. Or by the rather large tattoo on my lower back.
What do I write about in my Blog?
Anything. Everything. Whatever I think someone may enjoy reading. I also have a guest contributor, Robert Rabbit, Esquire (Bob), who very kindly allows me to publish his letters to a Warlock I love dearly.
So come in, have a good look around, and feel free to tell me what you think!
Oh, I love this About Me page. It’s done so well. I smiled, and laughed and smiled some more. Well done.

Thank you!! It even raised a wry smile on my daughters face, a major achievement, believe me there is nothing more difficult than gaining the approval of a budding neurologist, who already has you earmarked as her first case study!

Can you hear me laughing? Perhaps I could learn a thing or two from you – I’m still holding on to the hope of winning the lottery. Although, it’s a case of hope against hope: I hardly ever get around to buying a ticket!
BTW I like what you have done with the widgets, especially the photo gallery!
