When l first moved to #Cumbria, #UK, village l now live in, l used to print & post the #science papers on the village notice board & try to inform local folk about the #health hazards of burning wood in their homes.
But, they defend their wood-burning doggedly

Barrow. It's a shipbuilding town that's nearly part of the lovely Lake District. So, in our area, we've got big tourism, smallish industry that's really big in special things, and normal economic stuff. Old towns, especially Barrow, are rundown and poor.
Here's the news. Govt is trying to level up, without spending extra money. Just magic. 1/2

I love seeing damsons in the shop. Reminds me of the beautiful Lyth Valley in #cumbria though these are from #kent
Stewed with ice cream is easy and yum.
No idea what to do with a #greengage other than jam/jelly

It's the end of the summer holidays.
Just as a heatwave arrives!
So we got up nice and early to hike to Colwith Force, snapping some gorgeous woodland and waterfall scenery. Added extra, swirling mist and fog burning away from the mountain tops.
Plenty more photos from this day are waiting for you right here -> https://www.iancylkowski.com/blog/2023/9/6/colwith-force-lake-district-autumn 👍

We retraced yesterday night run in Cumbria -12k along the old ‘concrete road’ that was constructed to enable the building of the reservoir near Sleddale.
A real autumn morning 🥶 but back for an early breakfast and then some inevitable work.

Here's a link to our local map.

If you want a #LakeDistrict walk with great views but without the effort of scaling major peaks, try this to Latterbarrow. See the whole length of Windermere, Crinkle Crags, Langdale Pikes and more. Route details at tinyurl.com/4pr4y5ru

What passes for a breakthrough:
Some of the UK's oldest spent nuclear fuel to be moved from a "'locked vault' with no plan for retrieving its contents or decommissioning the building" into a "newly built facility at the site."

It was only a small break in the rain but what stunning conditions to be on a hillside in the Lake District!

In a county called Dumbria, that the yocals call #Cumbria, in the #UK, many of local folk & folk tourists that pollute the area, like nothing more than burning wood.
Check out the description of a holiday cottage in the area, the odds are that a "log fire" will be advertised.
Also, the yocal farmers, when their not busy moving sheep using diesel trucks from field to field, enjoy burning piles of wood on their land
But, burning wood causes disease (particle pollution) & #ClimateChange (CO2)
