16 March 2012

I won't be blogging on 16 March this year - I will be starting on the first leg of a journey towards a spell living and working in north America.

My colleagues John Oxley and Helen Weinstein will be leading another of their walking tours of Jewish York on 16 March - details here:

And the book of our conference is well on its way to being ready. More soon.
