An Emergency Blood Bike team has been drafted in to help transport supplies to Lincolnshire's air ambulance.

It's hoped that the scheme will save lives by transporting supplies quickly along the county's rural road network.

Last week we told you that Lincolnshire's "ambucopter" has become one of the first in the country to have blood on board.

The team of volunteers on the bike team say it's quicker to transport the blood on the bikes than using more conventional means.

United Lincolnshire Hospitals Trust says that long distances between hospitals makes having blood on the helicopter a life saving tool:

The artefact (pictured), which was found in Skidbrooke near Louth, is thought to be almost a thousand years old.

It's been dated as being from between 950-1150AD.

Archaeologist Adam Daubney says it's an "exceptionally rare" item because discoveries from Anglo Saxon times are few and far between.

He says the find is one of only three found in the UK from the time period.

Three miles of road surface on the B1397 is being replaced between Gosberton and Sutterton, near Boston.

The county council says it'll take a fortnight to complete the work and cost £500,000.

One local resident said the roadworks would be "very annoying" but another conceded the existing road was "a hazard as it was".

County councillor Richard Davies says it's about time saving.

The council plan on filling potholes less and resurfacing roads more, that's why it's going to take so long:

That's it from me today. But before I leave, here are five things we've learned:

• 1/4 people in Lincolnshire can't write an email, and that could stop them accessing benefits

• You really don't want to drive on a road that's covered in diesel.
• Lincolnshire has some beautiful sunsets and some talented photographers.
• If it looks like a beached whale, it might not actually be a beached whale.
• You need to be very careful around toast.

Have a good evening. Our local live coverage continues at 8am tomorrow.

After attending five kitchen fires over the weekend, Lincolnshire Fire & Rescue are urging people to be more careful while cooking.

Thankfully, fire alarms had alerted the residents in time and only one man had to be treated for smoke inhalation.

Two of the fires were caused by toast being left in a toaster for too long.

The fire service says you should "NEVER leave cooking unattended", "DON'T cook if you feel tired or fatigued", and "Ensure smoke alarms are fitted".

Since two of the fires were caused by burning toast, it's probably also worth adding another warning of our own: DON'T burn the toast!
