Two news stories have ocme out this week about where i am/will be living. My internship in Kirsty Williams' office comes to an end today, but yesterday we found out that people in the county of Powys, where Brecon is located, has been found to be the happiest place in all of the UK :)

The top 5 places, that are happiest in the UK are

1. Powys
2. Manchester
3. West Lothian
4. Cumbernauld and Kilsyth and Monklands
5. Macclesfield

Whilst the bottom 5 places are

1. Edinburgh
2. Cynon Valley and Rhondda
3. Amber Valley and north east Derbyshire
4. Clydesdale; Cumnock and Doon Valley; Kyle and Carrick
5. Swansea

So as my internship is coming to an end, i will be returning home to Barnsley, where it has been announced today that it is one of the towns with the highest levels of people who are clincially obese



Currently 10.8% of the people in Barnsley are obese, the same as in Wrexham, the full list can be seen below;

Shetland - 15.5%
Torfaen - 13.9%
Blaenau Gwent - 12.5%
Neath - 11.9%
Caerphilly - 11.1%
Rhondda - 11.1
Barnsley - 10.8%
Wrexham - 10.8%

So 5 places in Wales, are in the top 6 and yet despite this people in Powys are the happiest in the country
