A friend from England has just moved to Kamloops, British Columbia. She’s just taken a photo of her new home. Certainly is a beautiful place. It looks like it’s come straight off a Christmas card. So I thought it would be a good opportunity to wish all a Happy Christmas and maybe some of our readers of TravelGumbo would join in and share their favourite photos of the festive season.

British Columbia, if you’ve never visited, is a really spectacular destination. The BC tourism board uses the term “SuperNatural British Columbia” when describing it — and if you don’t know why you will after you visit. And it is a nice safe environment for raising polite kids. Canadians, as you known, are mostly polite to a fault (present company excluded).
Her husband is Canadian and went with his job. And she loves the fresh air and wide open spaces. She reckons its a good place to raise her 2 sons,
BC has many exiled folks from Liverpool. Like many other cities around the world. I have relatives in Fraser Lake. They have the most beautiful beach too, if you’re into cryogenics. Many Canadians have a wonderful “Cheeky” humour too !
