Hi there, its Peter here with your Levy Letter today. I hope youre well. A charity event here that James Harper told me about. He writes, I just wanted to alert you to a charity bike ride me and my brother are doing after making a promise to my late grandma, who died from cancer. She asked for money to be raised for Dove House Hospice to support the great work they do. So two years on, I've decided with my brother Andrew to devise our own charity bike ride from Leven in Scotland to Leven in East Yorkshire. Its 400 miles and we are doing it over four days, thats 100 miles a day! Eeeek!!! His words! But I think thats an accurate description for the challenge him and his brother are taking on! So good luck to James and his brother for their bike ride challenge.
Big Breakfast Heres something that caught my eye in terms of my personal healthy eating campaign. Breakfast really could be the most important meal of the day when it comes to losing weight. Thats according to research. The theory is that if you just have a small breakfast, then this could boost your cravings for food later on in the day. The worry is that if you only grab a quick cup of coffee for your breakfast, then youre more likely to munch on sweet sugary snacks before lunch. So there you go. A hearty breakfast is very good for you. Although, I doubt that includes bacon and eggs every morning. Pick Your Own Well, its more of a case of dont pick your own!! A fruit farm in England has stopped doing pick-your-own strawberries, because customers are eating too much of the fruit without paying. Well, I thought that was the point of pick-your-own fields!! Its one for you and one for the punnet. At least that was how it was when I was a boy. Apparently though, the owners of the farm have just had enough after seeing one family dipping their berries into a bowl of cream that theyd brought with them as they picked them. Okay, perhaps that is taking it too far! Well, that's it from me for now. I hope youre okay today. Keep in touch if theres anything youd like to see on the programme. As weve been mentioning on the programme, weve got our special One Year On floods anniversary programme next week. Were collecting stories now from people, who are still being affected by the floods and from some people, who are still in caravans. Wed like to hear from you, especially if you want to share a story with us about how its affected you emotionally. Ive heard some heart-wrenching stories from people, who are now suffering from depression, because of the worry of having to fix up their homes. So share your tale with me.
