I'm a bit puzzled by "working age" being classed as 16-64. Is that an admission that a very large proportion of those between 64 and the state pension age (66 increasing to 68) are actually unable to continue in employment?
I took a different route to usual up to The Carriageway above Rothbury, Northumberland in the UK. The area of Rothbury below is called Pondicherry though I don't know how it came to be named after the Indian city.
Funny thing was it was a Tesco policy that doubled the price, though for the previous two years they were either the cheapest or so close that I didn't bother changing; I think last year there was one policy that was £15 a year cheaper. This year though they were far from cheapest.
I had to go to a supermarket in Alnwick, but the weather was so nice I decided to go for a walk first. As I only had trainers on I decided walk in Hulne park, as most of the tracks are paved.
The walk starts out with some fine views across the valley.
The paved tracks make this an easy walk, and most of it is easily accessible, though further on there are gravel covered roads and some potholes, meaning it would be difficult for wheel chair users to go the whole distance.
Are we limited to two images in a post? It didn't seem to let me add more after this.

I'm from Northumberland in the UK and I like hiking. Here are some pictures from a short walk in the grounds of Cragside
True but it does have a sort of utilitarian functional beauty.
