Air pollution making people in UK get long-term illnesses earlier, study finds Pollution is ‘silent accelerator that robs individuals of their healthiest years’, say researchers

People are getting some long term health conditions up to 2 years earlier than they would if we were breathing clean air.

That's people losing up to 2 years pain free, 2 years with energy, able to do all the things that matter to them.

It was only in review for 2 minutes, which is a new record for one of my apps! Anyway, have made it free again for first 5 levels and tweaked screen shots to hopefully improve ASO.

I actually got round to doing some programming today and updated two of my apps - one’s currently waiting for review and the other is waiting for me to figure out why it doesn’t work 🤔

Tons of seedlings popping up where I scattered them last week. Should be interesting in a few more weeks!

It’s these tulip “Blushing Apeldoorn” that we planted last autumn. Such a good colour in the borders.

A big fat golden sunset over a flat moor, hills behind, scattered white and grey clouds.

Treated ourselves to a bigger hill, making the most of the light nights. Sunset from Pendle. Couldn't move for bunnies, gambolling lambs, spotted a kestrel, boot removal serenaded by owls. 💜

The front lawn is certainly more interesting than this time last year 😊

Hike Maker now has a lifetime purchase option for those subscription haters 😊 The monthly and yearly plan prices were also reduced recently. Might be worth a revisit if you’re into #walking #fitness or just #exploring

Yeah, not as sad for me as I haven’t seen any birds at ours since I put it up 🤷‍♂️ I’m assuming it’s because we’re next to a wildish area and water so they’re not interested.

If you didn’t have time yesterday to watch these two little videos of me chitter chatting while cycling around old and new infra in Westminster, then grab a cuppa and dive in!

There’s a song by Raye to enjoy too …
