Holiday to Canada in Aug 2024

We are on our travels again! This time we are heading over to Canada to do a mini road-trip from Toronto up to Montreal and on to Quebec City. It should be a warm break at this time of the year.

Welcome to The Billingham Blog!

Welcome to The Billingham Blog! This is a record of Nigel and Vicky Billingham’s journey through life, primarily focusing on holidays, trips and events.

We are in the process of migrating our blog over from tumblr, which became far too restrictive with limited opportunities to expand. So we are hosting ourselves now with Hostinger.

That means it’s going to take us a while to migrate stories over, refine them and manage links to flickr photos. So bear with us!
