AN ambition to own a period sports car has turned into reality for Tony Barrett, now that he is taking a back seat as a partner in the Skipton furniture business, Belmont of Skipton.
He has bought himself a Morgan 4/4 and he is allowing other classic car lovers to enjoy the experience behind the wheel by hiring it out.
Originally, he planned to indulge himself with a 1960 Frog Eyed Sprite, but baulked at the price they now fetch and the cost of running one as a hire vehicle.
"I was won over by the Morgan when my son Oliver treated me to a day out in one for my 55th birthday. It was fantastic touring the Dales in it.
"The beauty about this Morgan is that it's essentially the same built and design as in the 1930s, but it has a modern engine and gearbox, so the mechanics are much more reliable when it comes to hiring it out," said Tony.
He has set up his business Craven Classic Car Hire from his home in Greenacres, Skipton, and he promises driving the Morgan will give people a taste of the glamour and nostalgia of motoring in bygone days-and turn a few heads.
Anyone interested in the thrill of open top driving can find out more about Tony's business at cravenclassiccarhire.co.uk, sales@cravenclassiccarhire.co.uk or by telephoning 07966 445035.

Brian Eno on how to create music of the future
By Alexander Rose @zander
Nov 2, 02010
Long Now founding board member Brian Eno has released a new album called Small Craft on a Milk Sea. Recently he gave two great interviews on his creative process, one you can listen to over at NPR, and the other you can read over at Pitchfork. I highly recommend listening and reading to both interviews in the their entirety, but I was especially taken with his answer on how to create music that is truly new:
"Imagine it's the year 2064 and all digital music has been destroyed in a huge digital accident, an electromagnetic pulse or something like that. So, all we know about the music between 2010 or 2030 is hearsay. There don't exist any recordings. We've read about a kind of music that existed in the suburbs of Shanghai in 2015 to 2018, and this music was played on–" then you specify a group of instruments– "was played on, say, industrial tools, such as steel hammers, and augmented with samplers and various electronic versions of some Chinese instruments. And it was intensely repetitive and played at ear-splitting volume," for example. So, we then, taking that brief, try to imagine what that music would be like, and we try to make it.

Much Rapid Application Development (RAD) work is based on providing a user-friendly front end to a database, and there is plenty of specialist knowledge to acquire. This section provides a taster to working with databases. We treat this important topic in greater depth in a dedicated tutorial.
A DBGrid is an example of a data aware component. It is an automated version of a string grid and behaves as a rectangular grid made up of rows and columns of DBEdit boxes. In both Lazarus and Delphi it is in the Data Controls tab of components. You should use it with other components designed to link up to databases. You need a connection to a database, a data set and a data source. The following sections describe the use of a DBGrid in Delphi and Lazarus. In each case, we link to a Microsoft Access database table. (This contains useful, relevant data about common components available in Delphi). The Delphi example benefits from an ADOTable control, which has no direct equivalent in Lazarus. We found it much easier to use than the SQL approach in Lazarus. Certain database components are designed to work together and you can link them easily by accepting the only option in a drop-down list in the Object Inspector. In the following demonstrations, we do not always rename a component such as DataSource1 if it is the only one of its type.

How can I full-justify text?
I know I would need some code, although I have no programming knowledge to know it, or where to place it. I would much appreciate your help on this one. Thanks.
Thank you "One fifteen". I'm using Amelie and the code justified the text.
i tried each of these separately and none of them work. What did I do wrong?
@mtrapani, whereabouts on your site are you after justifying the text, what text is it? And could you post a link to the page?
The coding that @One Fifteen uses is for just the body text.
The coding that @Tony212 uses is for the entire website, including headers, titles, etc.
Im having a problem using custom code to get my text justified. It works on desktop but for whatever reason it doesnt work on mobile or tablets. Any ideas why that might be?

We have been working with the FEC Tri-State Church planting co-op to prepare Greg Grimwood and his wife, Cara, to launch their church plant ON NOVEMBER 18th 2018! Pastor Ross has been mentoring Greg, and Pastor David was able to be involved in the research and decision-making phase of where the Church is located. Greg's whole team presented to the Elders and Pastors of Evermore on August 20th. And for the last two months Ryan and Beth Slabaugh have been involved with the Launch Team to get ready for NOVEMBER 18th.
Our lives are busy. Too many choices. We constantly juggle schedules of work, activities, kids, parents, grandkids and of course church. It's easy to choose what to do when we're choosing between good and bad. Too often we are forced to choose between multiple good options.
Culture has changed and continues to change. Sundays used to be a day designated for church and family time. In my lifetime Hartville's gas stations and grocery stores were closed on Sundays. Today, there are unlimited choices clawing at us 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
"There has got to be a better way." How many of us have ever had that thought? I know I have. Most of the time it is in reference to some way of going about a task or accomplishing a goal. Now stop and ask yourself, "Have I ever thought there has got to be a better way to live?" Maybe you haven't, but I venture that many people have. There is a better way to live. This is the exact conclusion that Rodney Stark draws in his book The Rise of Christianity.
Here at Evermore we have been looking at the attributes of God in our study called The Real God. Additionally, during the Sunday School hour we have been studying "God's World and God's People" in the Standard LESSON QUARTERLY. It has been a privilege to dive into the Scriptures with you all and seek clarity on what it means to know God as He truly is!
This past week a group of six young adults accompanied by Harold & Dave traveled to Pittsburgh, PA to lead a VBS for River City Church plant. As part of my role as intern this summer at our church, I was in charge of planning/organizing all things associated with the VBS. Planning the bible story lessons, figuring out crafts that would be fun but not too excessive, thinking of games for all ages, learning new songs & of course picking snacks. The beforehand work of the VBS was more than I had expected, and gave me a new appreciation for those who plan our church's VBS.
So, I would like to say that what I am about to write about is totally inspired by me. But to be honest I need to give credit where it is due – it's all God and a little nudge from the Holy Spirit. So, let me explain. Last weekend I had the honor of spending some time with our 4 pastors at the FEC conference. It is always interesting to spend time away from church and see them in a different environment – this is where we find out what they are really like! And you know what – they are exactly the same person away from the office as they are in the office.

Evolution of classical/quantum methodologies: Applications to oxide surfaces and interfaces
D. E. Ellis*, O. Warschkow
First-principles quantum chemical approaches have evolved in the direction of greater precision for describing properties of small molecules, and with reduced precision, to the description of macromolecules and extended systems. However, traditional methodologies are inadequate to meet the increasing demands for time- and temperature-dependent analyses of molecular and particulate structure - function relations. We describe several of the extant hybrid classical/quantum schemes which have been evolving to meet the challenge of bridging size scales from 1 to 1000 Å and time scales from 1 to 107 fs. The current state of affairs is illustrated with examples of applications to metal oxide surfaces and interfaces, and future trends are discussed.

Jones and Bourdais to Start on Row 6 in Alabama
dalecoynepr	on April 22, 2017
Leeds, AL (April 22, 2017) – For the first time this season, both Dale Coyne Racing drivers made it into the Fast 12 during qualifying for the Honda Indy Grand Prix of Alabama with rookie Ed Jones placing 11th and Sebastien Bourdais 12th.
Jones went out in Group 1 during Round 1 of qualifying and immediately placed fifth with his first timed lap on a set of Firestone alternate tires. He continued to improve his time with each lap and would end up fifth in his group with a fastest lap of 1:07.5360. His performance allowed him to make it into the second round of qualifying for the first time in only his third Verizon IndyCar Series event and guaranteed him his best start in the series so far.
Points leader Sebastien Bourdais, took to the track in Group 2 and managed to jump into the Top 6 on his final timed lap of the 10-minute session. His lap of 1:07.6287 was good to place him sixth in his group and send him into the Fast 12 for the second consecutive race.
Both drivers headed out at the start of Round 2 with Bourdais on a set of regular black Firestone tires and Jones on a set of used Reds. They would each complete two timed laps before heading back to pit lane to change tires and minor adjustments after placing 10th and 12th, respectively, in the early part of the session.
Jones and Bourdais each headed back out on a set of used Red tires, with the Frenchman preferring to save a new set for tomorrow's race. Jones went on to put in a lap of 1:08.2034 which was good for 11th, with Bourdais registering a lap of 1:08.3152 for 12th on the grid, giving the team its best combined qualifying performance this season.
The Honda Indy Grand Prix of Alabama will be broadcast live on NBCSN on Sunday, April 23 from 3:00pm ET (2:00pm local).
Sebastien Bourdais – #18 Sonny's BBQ Honda
"We made some major changes to the car but they didn't work. There's something missing and we're just not quite understanding what it is. Quite truthfully to make it into the Fast 12 was a big surprise with the understeer we had. Using another set of (Firestone) Reds didn't feel like the right thing to do to maybe get a better lap time, so we kept a new set for tomorrow and used the same Reds we ran in Round 1. We figured it was best to swallow the pill today and hope for a better day tomorrow with two brand new sets of Firestone Reds. We're scratching our heads but we'll keep working and see what we can do. As I've said before, some weekends we'll get it and some weekends we won't, but we'll keep on trying and not give up."
Ed Jones – #19 Boy Scouts of America Honda
"It was a really good day. We started off practice 3 this morning with some changes to the Boy Scouts of America car and I made improvement in myself as well. The team and myself came together and we produced a really good car. We were 12th in practice this morning which was so much better than yesterday. We made a little bit more of jump again this afternoon for qualifying and got through to the Fast 12 which was our qualifying target this weekend, and we've accomplished that. I look forward to the race and hopefully we can get another Top 10."

The van is coming along. There has been a lot of time and work put into it and she is starting to get close. Almost every mechanical aspect has been looked at and replaced or repaired. She was far more tired then we first thought.
We started with a tear down. Out came the motor, transmission, all the lines, shocks, control arms and pretty much everything else under the van.
We are keeping the original motor but replacing many parts of it such as the oil pump, thermostat housing, fuel rails, sparks, fuel injectors and more.
We also had to purchase a rebuilt transaxle from GoWesty. It wasn't in the plan but much needed.
Each corner has also been rebuilt and upgraded. We added a 1.5 inch lift as well as HD brakes to help with the increased weight.
All the lines, have also been replaced. We still have lots of work to do before she will run again but she is getting close. We are excited to hear that motor start shortly!
Special thanks to the amazing folks at GoWesty and Adam at Diesel Rover for all the help with this part of the project.

The Great British Bake Off's Paul Hollywood to marry 38-year-old landlady after 'quietly proposing' months ago
Paul Hollywood is said to have been a frequent visitor to The Chequers Inn, where girlfriend Melissa Spalding is landlady.
By Rahmah Ghazali
14th Nov 2022, 10:05am
The Great British Bake Off judge Paul Hollywood is reportedly engaged to his girlfriend Melissa Spalding. According to a national newspaper, the TV star has been in a relationship with the 38-year-old pub landlady for the past three years and is said to have 'quietly proposed' a few months ago.
Paul was previously married to Alexandra for 19 years, but they announced their split in 2017 over cheating allegations that saw him go through a £10 million divorce settlement. Following their break-up, he then dated 26-year-old social media influencer Summer Monteys-Fullam but they split in 2019. Paul is said to have asked Melissa to marry him earlier this year over Easter, but she has only recently started wearing her engagement ring publicly.
Sources close to the couple told the Daily Mail: "Paul proposed some months ago, but they have been keeping it very quiet since then. It's only in the past month that she has begun wearing her engagement ring out in public, and sharing their news with friends." The duo have not only remained tightlipped on their engagement but it's also unknown if wedding plans are in the works yet.
It is understoodMelissa moved into Paul's 18th-century £11 million farmhouse in April 2020 spending lockdown together after the owners of the pub, The Chequers Inn in Smarden, Ashford, put it up for sale. Friends have previously mentioned the couple claimed to be "madly in love." The baker was a frequent visitor to The Chequers Inn, where he is believed to have first met Melissa and in December 2019, after initially denying that they were dating, they made it official.
Paul and Melissa made their first red carpet appearance in December 2021 to attend the premiere of The King's Man at Cineworld in Leicester Square. Paul, along with Prue Leith are currently judges on The Great British Bake Off, and are set to announce the winner of this year's series on Tuesday (November 15).

Government in talks on 'green corridor'
By Grace Chua, Straits Times, 16 Jun 2011.
The Minister of State for National Development has sounded what green groups have read as a positive note on the fate of the island's north-south strip of railway land.
Brigadier-General (NS) Tan Chuan Jin indicated in a Facebook post that the Urban Redevelopment Authority and the National Parks Board have been in talks with the Nature Society of Singapore (NSS) over several interest groups' proposal to turn the land into a continuous strip of recreational space.
The 173.7ha tract of land, which now belongs to Malaysia's Keretapi Tanah Melayu (KTM), reverts to Singapore on July 1. About 40km of railway now sit on it – 26km from Tanjong Pagar to Woodlands, and at least a further 14km of disused line from Clementi to Jurong.

Pockets of solitude, places to retreat to in Green Corridor
By Lynda Hong Ee Lyn, TODAY, 16 Jun 2011.
The possibility of conserving the KTM railway and its green environs, termed the Green Corridor, is under serious consideration, said Minister of State for National Development, Brigadier-General (NS) Tan Chuan-Jin.
He revealed on his Facebook page that the Urban Redevelopment Authority and the National Parks Board have been discussing the possibility with the Nature Society Singapore (NSS), which submitted a proposal in October last year.
He added: "I have read their … proposal and it's fascinating."
The challenges faced by the Housing and Development Board (HDB) and the "re-looking of policies so that we can meet the needs of Singaporeans" has sharpened his own sense on what is Singapore – a small nation that needs to squeeze in housing, recreation, industry, business, defence, catchment and heritage needs in slightly over 700 sq km of land, BG (NS) Tan said.

Our Green Home
By Tan Chuan-Jin, Minister of State for National Development, 15 Jun 2011 (this note was posted on his Facebook page).
"Home is where your friends are…where your family is."
We have been having weekly brainstorming sessions at MND to study and discuss the issues facing us. We are moving on HDB challenges. We are re-looking at policies so that we can meet the needs of Singaporeans. These are unfolding and more will be shared when ready. We may not be able to meet all needs, but we can certainly do more than where we are today.
Looking at these issues have also sharpened my own sense about what home is for us. We are not really in the business of just building houses. It is about providing living space and common space amidst challenges that few countries face. I have always been struck by what Koon Hean, CEO HDB, shared about how there is little basis to compare us with Hong Kong, New York and other great cities. They are all part of a country whilst we are an entire country squeezed into slightly over 700+ square kilometres. Land is needed for: housing, recreation, industry, business, defence, catchment, heritage. Serious decisions are required. Trade-off is a bad word but that is what faces us all the time. Not easy. Few cities grapple with all these for they all invaribly have a hinterland to fall back on….we don't. Read more

Breast augmentation is still the most popular cosmetic surgery procedure among women older than 18 or 22 years of age. We offer both silicone (22 years old minimum) and saline (18 years old minimum) breast implants at our practice and find that each type creates a different look, allowing each individual woman to achieve her ideal breasts. Both are effective for restoring volume loss of the breasts and increasing your breast size. Silicone implants are said to create a softer and more natural look, while saline implants allow women to achieve a more defined, rounder look. We can determine which type of breast implants are a good match for you during your consultation. Other factors to consider include the size of the implant, shape of the implant, and your personal preference and lifestyle.
If you have significant sagging of the breast tissue and want to restore your youthful silhouette, breast lift surgery may be the ideal procedure for you. The breast lift involves raising, repositioning, and reshaping the breasts to create a more attractive profile and youthful contour. If you want larger breasts, we can combine the breast lift with a breast augmentation procedure to create a more defined look. The combination procedure can increase breast firmness and size.
If you have very large breasts that are interfering with your daily activities or taking their toll on the quality of your life, we can create a more balanced profile with breast reduction surgery. A breast reduction can resize and reshape the breasts to reduce the weight of the breasts. This can alleviate any back and neck pain you have been experiencing on an ongoing basis, and also can improve your posture. In many cases, a breast reduction can help to create a more balanced and feminine silhouette. Learn more about breast procedures that can enhance your silhouette by scheduling your consultation with Seattle cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Jonov, today.

Taken at ISO 400, with my 50mm f1.8 lens and post processed. I know, I have posted similar shots before. I keep trying to get it right. Each time I post it I think this is the one, but soon after, when I look at it, I feel it still isn't quite what I've been trying for. So obviously I think I've got it now, but in a few days I might feel differently.
This time I've got plenty of patches of sunshine which I think really livens it up. After working on the brightness, contrast, etc., I thought it was fine, but already there was something wrong. So before posting it now, I "warmed it up" (bad choice of words considering the subject?) and I think that was just what it needed.
I think I understand the effect you're trying to achieve and if you look at this tomorrow and think that maybe this isn't quite it, you still have it, so don't worry about it.
Just an update...I still like this one when I see it.

US officials voice DNA biowarfare fears
A House Intelligence Committee member warns Americans against using DNA testing kits

Biosamples gathered by various DNA testing services could be sold and used to develop bioweapons specifically tailored to target certain groups or even individuals, US lawmakers have claimed at the Aspen Security Forum – echoing concerns long voiced by Russian officials.
"There are now weapons under development, and developed, that are designed to target specific people," US Representative Jason Crow (D-Colorado), a member of the House Intelligence Committee, said in Colorado on Friday. "That's what this is, where you can actually take someone's DNA, take their medical profile, and you can target a biological weapon that will kill that person or take them off the battlefield or make them inoperable."
Given that threat, Crow added, it's troubling that expectations of privacy for personal data have diminished over the past 20 years, to the point that young people have "very little expectation of privacy" and readily give their data to private companies, such as DNA testing services.
"People will very rapidly spit into a cup and send it to 23andMe and get really interesting data about their background," Crow said. "And guess what? Their DNA is now owned by a private company. It can be sold off with very little intellectual property protection or privacy protection."
READ MORE: Russia accuses US of concealing data on biolabs
He added that the US will need to create new guidelines for protection of personal health data, including DNA, "because that data is actually going to be procured and collected by our adversaries for the development of these systems."
Moscow has been warning about the dangers of uncontrolled gathering of DNA samples for years, with President Vladimir Putin stating back in 2017 that according to Russian intelligence services, biological samples were being harvested "purposefully and professionally" all over Russia by various NGOs and other organizations for unclear purposes.
Over the past years, the Pentagon has "significantly expanded its research potential not only in the field of creating biological weapons, but also obtaining information about antibiotic resistance and the presence of antibodies to certain diseases in populations of specific regions," Lieutenant-General Igor Kirillov, the head of the Russian Radiation, Chemical and Biological Protection Force, claimed in May.
READ MORE: Russia presents new evidence on Ukraine biolabs, comments on links to Biden and US
In a series of briefings starting in March, the Russian military has been presenting evidence of the Pentagon's alleged involvement in funding biolaboratories in Ukraine. According to Russia's Investigative Committee, the US poured more than $224 million into biological research in Ukraine between 2005 and early 2022.
While Washington admitted its support of 46 biological research facilities in Ukraine over the past 20 years, it insists it was all part of a peaceful public health project. The US military accused Russia and China of "spreading disinformation and sowing mistrust" about its efforts to rid the world of weapons of mass destruction – while Western media dismissed the claims as a conspiracy theories and science fiction.
Concerns over customized bioweapons extend beyond human DNA data, according to Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa), a member of the Senate's Subcommittee on Emerging Threats and Capabilities and Armed Services Committee, who spoke on a panel with Crow. America's adversaries can also direct bioweapons specifically at US livestock and crops to create a food security crisis, she claimed.

"There's a number of ways we can look at biological weapons and the need to make sure not only are we securing human beings, but then also the food that will sustain us," Ernst added.
A report issued earlier this year by the US-China Economic and Security Review Commission suggested that China could someday attempt to wage biological warfare against genetically modified American crops, given its increased "interest in US agriculture" and GMO-related intellectual property.
"While China's main interest in obtaining GM seeds from the United States is in improving its crop yields, the potential weaponization of agricultural IP is possible," it said. "Similar to hacking a computer code, Beijing could easily hack the code or DNA of US GM seeds and conduct biowarfare by creating some type of blight that could destroy US crops."

Not On Your Nellie
1974 | United Kingdom
Following on from her success in Nearest and Dearest, Hylda Baker was cast as reluctant landlady Nellie Pickersgill, the daughter of a London publican summoned down from Bolton to Fulham to run "The Brown Cow" on behalf of her father in his hour of need.
The series was not a direct sequel to Nearest and Dearest, but it was not far removed, either...Born in Lancashire in 1908, Baker began her career in music hall and during the 1940's toured extensively as support to most of the big names around at that time. In the 1950's she branched out as a star in her own right playing most popularly alongside a silent and gormless character called Cynthia, a man in drag. An appearance in the popular BBCTV show The Good Old Days (on 11 March 1955) brought Baker to the attention of the British viewing public and that's when her career really took off. A number of TV series followed -the first of which was 1957's Be Soon (aka Hylda Baker Says Be Soon) in which she recreated her celebrated stage act with Guy Middleton as Cynthia. This series also made popular one of Baker's numerous catchphrases; "She knows, you know."
Be Soon concluded in 1959 and by 1961 Baker was back as a regular in another sitcom, the second series of Our House. In 1963 she teamed up with Charles Hawtrey for Best of Friends (the two had co-starred in Our House). But it was her teaming with Jimmy Jewel in 1968's Nearest and Dearest that fashioned her most celebrated role and enduring memory as the middle-aged spinster Nellie Pledge.
As in Nearest and Dearest, Baker's character in Not On Your Nellie was based on the one that she had developed over the years, full of malapropisms, jerky double-takes, double entendre's and a smattering of catchphrases such as: "Look at the time...it's half past..." stops and pauses: "I must get a little hand put on this watch!" Not On Your Nelly ran for three series although the producers must have realised that they'd got their full mileage out of the comic situations as the last series was only comprised of four episodes.
Like most comedy series of the time Not On Your Nellie was full to the brim with stereotype characters such as an Asian tube train driver, two gay men from the fashion world and a series of busty barmaids such as Beryl (Alexandra Dane), Doris (Wendy Richard) and Big Brenda (Sue Nicholls). Carry On stalwart Jack Douglas appeared in series three as Nellie's cousin Stanley Pickersgill and in the final episode found time to appear in the dual role of Stan and a nervously twitchy character called Alf Ippititimus.

Today, we celebrate Yom Yerushalayim, Jerusalem Day, on which we commemorate the reunification of our city in 1967.
Jerusalem is at the heart of the Jewish religion. Three times a day, every day, Jews pray facing Jerusalem for the privilege to return here. It is hard to describe the heartbreaking tear in the Israeli psyche – and for Jews all over the world – caused by the division of Jerusalem in 1948. The day of its completely unexpected, miraculous reunification in 1967 is one of the most awe-inspiring moments of modern times.
On our blog yesterday, we also included two lovely Yom Yerushalayim videos we found on the web. Check them out here.
And just in time for Yom Yerushalayim, we're so pleased to announce that the newly updated version of our guidebook is finally here! So if you're planning a trip here this summer, don't leave home without your copy of our downloadable Intro to Jerusalem: A Guide to the Holy Ciy e-guidebook, so you'll know how to maximize your time here.
As I promised in an earlier newsletter, we'll send the updated copy free to any loyal subscriber of our newsletter who purchased the guide after January 1, 2014. So if you'd like the newest version, send me an email with your name, email address used at the time of purchase, the date of purchase and, if you still have it, your receipt. (If you don't have it anymore, don't worry - we can track down your purchase without it, but it may take a bit more time.) While you're at it, please let us know what you thought of the guidebook. Every new edition reflects changes readers asked for or suggested, so your feedback will help us with next year's edition. Yup, as soon as one edition is out, we start working on the next one!
On the heels of Jerusalem Day, we celebrate the holiday of Shavuot. You know it's on the way when there are suddenly twice as many cheeses and other dairy products on the shelves here than is normal. Traditionally, this holiday's foods are predominantly dairy, so get ready for cheesecake all over town. You'll find more about the holiday, from festive recipes (cheesecake, yes!), fun facts and inspiration, here.
On the day itself, the Western Wall is the place to be at the crack of dawn. People have a custom of staying up all night to study religious texts and tens of thousands of them meet at the Wall for morning prayers.
This is a free service that we consider a privilege to provide. Jewish tradition, however, teaches that prayer and charity, together, have the power to change Divine decrees. So please consider super-charging your prayer with a donation to our charity fund for disabled children in Jerusalem.
Your donation, however small, would help provide much needed services, therapy and medications for severely disabled children in Jerusalem, as well as food to help them enjoy the upcoming holiday.
Record numbers of visitors are flocking to Jerusalem this summer. I say that almost every year, but it's true/ See this newstory from Algemeiner. We don't need the papers to know this, though - just walk through downtown Jerusalem to see for yourself!
The take away from this news, for those of you planning a trip to Jerusalem this summer, is that our tour guides are booking up very quickly and a few are already full booked all the way through September! So be sure to arrange for your tour guide, choose a Jerusalem Walking Tour that you might be interested in sooner rather than later. They're filling up fast!
The same goes for a Jerusalem Scavenger Hunt. If you're traveling with a group of five or more, we can't recommend this activity enough. You'll discover things about Jerusalem you never knew – no matter how long you might have lived here! It's lots of fun and a fabulous educational activity for older kids and teens. Since last year, they've added scavenger hunts in Gush Etzion, following the footsteps of the Patriarchs. But as with our tour guides, don't wait to book a date.
We look forward to hearing all about your experiences in and around Jerusalem. May you have a wonderful holiday and may it inaugurate a fantastic summer for you and your family.
Safe journeys and may we see you soon, here, in Yerushalayim.

May we see you soon, here, in Yerushalayim!
