The Westmorland Gazette · Trains across Cumbria cancelled due to low crew numbersBy Matthew Holmes.

Morning Run

The light at this time of the year can be so lovely in Northern Britain. We spent the night in Cumbria and got out above Shap on the old 'concrete road', returning alongside the A6 (not as bad as you might think). 15k, cold with some ice but a fast surface.

Ju7st the hound and self, along with a small terrier we picked up en route (and took back). Partner a little under the weather, Mum asleep and my sister - well it was early!

The photo shows a "cloud" of wood \ coal smoke enveloping a village in the county of #Cumbria, England. The smoke is coming out of local people's chimneys (also, local landowners burn piles of tree branches, more so after storms)

Without going into detail, the locals (babies, children & adults) may as well be smoking a packet of cigarettes everyday (#coal \ #wood is far more toxic than #tobacco #smoke)

It's the adults own fault! They defend & make excuses for their #AirPolluting lifestyles

Kirkland

Kirkland township, a region of Kendal, Cumbria, from the south of the Blindbeck stream. This was an independent settlement 'church land' which had its own manor court and was not officially absorbed into the borough of Kendal until 1908.
