Hello there, welcome to Wednesdays Levy Letter. Thanks for reading the letter and thanks for getting in touch with me. I really enjoy hearing from you and what may have caught your eye.
Many thanks to Daphne in Kings Lynn who emailed me with some health news. Apparently drinking camomile tea can possibly help with diabetes. Research on rats suggests that drinking camomile tea lowers blood sugar levels and can help prevent complications including blindness, kidney disease and nerve and circulatory damage in type 2 diabetes. She also mentioned that scientists are also claiming that herbal tea boosts the immune system making it easier to ward off infections and relieve aches and pains. Maybe Ill be trying them out soon! Yesterday Neil contacted me about reductions for disabled drivers crossing the Humber Bridge. Well Alan in Grimsby has been in touch to let me know that vouchers for free crossing of the bridge, are available only to people who receive the higher rate of the mobility component of disability living allowance and who are exempt from paying road tax, and they must use a specified vehicle, the registration of which is printed on the vouchers. Vouchers are not available simply to those who have a blue badge. Travel Now do you have a satellite navigation system? Are you getting bored of the same old voice directing you around? Well Ive recently recorded my voice for the sat nav and BBC Radio Lincolnshires Rod Whiting has also got in on the act. If you fancy hearing us on your sat nav find out more at bbc.co.uk/lincolnshire where you can download my voice and Rods voice to your sat nav. TV I have been a fan of the new series of Doctor Who. I think Russell T. Davies did a fantastic job of reviving the classic TV series and David Tennant was a fantastic doctor. There have been rumours as to whether or not David will carry on with the role, but extracts from a forthcoming book suggest that Davies thinks Russell Tovey, who appeared in Alan Bennett's play The History Boys, would fit the role. He also starred in the Christmas special alongside Kylie Minogue, as Midshipman Frame. On another TV note, Ive heard that David Jason will be leaving his role as Det Insp Jack Frost after 16 years in A Touch Of Frost. I think he is a brilliant actor and always enjoy the repeats of Only Fools and Horses. Hopefully we will continue seeing him on the small screen. Books Im not sure if youve read them but the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, by the late Douglas Adams, is wonderful. The last book was entitled Mostly Harmless and was written by Adams 16 years ago. His widow Jane Belson has given permission to bring back Arthur Dent in a new book entitled And Another Thing... Childrens author Eoin Colfer, best known for his Artemis Fowl books, has been commissioned to write a sixth instalment. So there you go. Lots of culture in todays Levy Letter! I hope you enjoyed todays edition of Levy Letters, and I hope you will join me for tonights Look North.
