Hello there, and welcome to Tuesdays edition of the Levy Letter. Well it seems that Autumn is well and truly here. Paul Hudson did say that the rain would be appearing today, I was hoping that he would be wrong but it has turned up and doesnt seem to show signs of stopping. I suppose the best thing to do is keep your brollies handy!
Footballers in the Kitchen Now, do you find it hard to get your children inspired in the kitchen? In an effort to tackle child obesity and to encourage children to eat healthily, some of Europes top footballers have got together to publish a recipe book. Health experts suggest that up to 20% of children are overweight in the EU. The new book is called Eat for Goals! and it aims to address this problem, by trying to persuade children that healthy food can also be tasty food. The recipe book was jointly created by the European Commission and the football body UEFA. The dishes range from very simple to the adventurous. A simple fruit salad is suggested by Rangers and Scotland captain Barry Ferguson and Steven Gerrard, the Liverpool captain and England player gives his recipe of aromatic sea bream. Maybe Ill even try and give it a go! Toads I mentioned yesterday that noise level is affecting whales and other sea mammals, but it seems that the future may also be bleak for Europes toads. A team of UK researchers has warned that by 2050 more than half of Europe's amphibians could be extinct. There are many factors which are threatening the species long term survival such as disease, habitat destruction and climate change. They may not be the most glamorous of animals but it seems we may have to work a little harder to help ensure that this does not happen. Time Gentlemen Please This did make me chuckle when I read this so thought I would pass it on. Apparently a pub in Tyneside has had to call time on one of its most regular customers as it goes through a refurbishment. Peggy, a 12 year old mare, liked nothing more than enjoying a pint of beer and a packet of crisps alongside her owner. However she is now no longer allowed in the pub as the refit has meant that she may get the new carpets a bit mucky. The horse still accompanies her owner but will have to remain tethered outside. Regulars have been asking where Peggy is but the landlady has remained firm with her new rules. So what do you think to that one? Is your pet welcome in your local? Id love to hear from you.
