After talking about moving down south for years, it was time to take action.
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!

Over Easter 2014 we took a trip to Helsinki – our first visit to Finland. It was partly to allow us to try out the CCR at Heathrow T5 and partly just to get away.

Shouldn’t be scary this one - I’ve done overseas trips on my own before (well once), and I’ve worn the t-shirt, and watched the video, and read the book etc. No big deal.

Bit scary this - my first overseas trip by air on my own! At 47! I’ve always had someone in tow to rely on for finding my way around, or picking up things from hotel rooms when I have left them, and there’s no one but myself to rely on.
