Good evening. A middle-aged man has been found dead inside a vicarage | :00:48. | :00:52. | |
in the town of the Longbridge near Bristol. Police have sealed off the | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
Church of St Mary's & St Paul's and are treating the death as | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
suspicious. The congregation have been talking of their shock at what | :00:58. | :01:02. | |
has happened after the body was found by workmen. The man's | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
identity is known but we are not revealing it, because officers have | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
not been able to tell all of his family. | :01:10. | :01:15. | |
The discovery was made just after 10am today, when a team of two | :01:15. | :01:22. | |
builders arrived at their new vicarage -- of the new vicarage. | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
The a were unable to gain entry and had to get a spare key from the | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
caretaker. When they entered with the caretaker, they found the body | :01:29. | :01:36. | |
of a man in the hallway. Any idea how he died? At this stage, no. | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
death has shocked residents and churchgoers. We are still in shock. | :01:40. | :01:46. | |
I think it is terrible. It is such a quiet little area. As yet, | :01:46. | :01:51. | |
detectives cannot be sure how the man died. But a Home Office | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
pathologist is carrying out a post mortem. We are keeping an open mind. | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
If anybody thinks they have any information that could help us, | :01:58. | :02:04. | |
please call us. I would like to apologise to members of the local | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
community for closing the roads. But they will appreciate that we | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
need to do things properly in a situation like this. We do need | :02:10. | :02:15. | |
their help and other did anybody with information to call us. Steve | :02:15. | :02:21. | |
is still in the village tonight. Any developments? There has been | :02:21. | :02:27. | |
won. In the last five minutes, the police have extended the cordon | :02:27. | :02:32. | |
behind me. Earlier today, we were much closer to the scene where the | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
body was found this morning by the team of builders but in the last | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
five minutes, they have pushed it out. They will not tell us why but | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
obviously, the investigation into this definitely suspicious death - | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
and off the record, police are putting it a lot stronger than that | :02:48. | :02:54. | |
- the cordon has been brought forward. The police seem to be | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
quite vague about what is happening, perhaps deliberately, because they | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
may know more, I suppose, but are they telling you they have any idea | :03:02. | :03:07. | |
what might be highly -- what might be behind this? The man who was | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
found is well known here in Thornbury. Everybody in the | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
immediate area knows who it is and they are very distressed about it. | :03:15. | :03:21. | |
People living in this rather select area, near the church, no with the | :03:21. | :03:29. | |
dead man and are very concerned. The police themselves say there is | :03:29. | :03:36. | |
no motive to whatever led to this death. Thanks very much indeed. | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
A former employee of the luxury cruise firm Cunard has been charged | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
with the sexual assault of a child and possessing indecent images of | :03:45. | :03:51. | |
children. Paul Trotter worked for the Southampton travel company as a | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
supervisor in a children's activity area. Cunard say they are deeply | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
shocked by the allegations and an independent review is under way | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
into their policies and procedures. Wiltshire police are contacting all | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
the parents they need to speak to. The Wiltshire brewer has been | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
reunited with his family after surviving an accident at sea where | :04:11. | :04:16. | |
his boat capsized in the middle of the Atlantic. -- they will check | :04:17. | :04:23. | |
roller. Simon Brown was part of 18 trying to break a world record for | :04:23. | :04:32. | |
cycling from Morocco to Barbados. Back at home with his wife and | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
children, Simon Brown and knows he is a very lucky man. It is amazing | :04:37. | :04:42. | |
to be back. It has taken so long since the boat turned over to get | :04:42. | :04:49. | |
home. Simon and the other five rowers on their boat, Sara G, set | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
out from Morocco just after New Year. Their aim was to reach | :04:53. | :04:59. | |
Barbados inside the 33 day world record. But 27 days in, just 500 | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
miles short of their target, the boat capsized, leaving them | :05:03. | :05:09. | |
stranded in the ocean. It went from the guys run it to being upside | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
down and everyone in the sea in less than 20 seconds. -- rowing it. | :05:13. | :05:20. | |
As I looked back, we were all looking for someone to take the | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
lead. I had never been in the ocean before and to be in the middle of | :05:25. | :05:33. | |
the seat was one of the moments that I will not forget. -- the sea. | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
Amazingly for Simon and his crew mates, it was not it. They all | :05:37. | :05:42. | |
survived unscathed. Now that he is back, his wife has no intention of | :05:42. | :05:47. | |
letting him out of her sight. the best thing ever. Very good. | :05:47. | :05:56. | |
Love it. He is not going again! Back where he belongs. Today, Simon | :05:56. | :06:01. | |
was back at work. He sells fruit and vegetables for living for this | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
company near Chew Valley Lake. soon as signed and said he was | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
going to do this challenge, we knew that he would end up doing it. We | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
are so sorry for them that they did not get to the final marker, but we | :06:13. | :06:21. | |
were so relieved when we heard that they had been it OK after capsizing. | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
A sentiment echoed in the family home. As in many homes today, there | :06:25. | :06:31. | |
are plenty of Valentine's cards on display. Simon's message to Jo is | :06:31. | :06:36. | |
simple - a promise to stay on dry land and an apology for a rough | :06:36. | :06:42. | |
start of the year, but thankfully ended well. | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
Good to see him back. You are watching Points West this Tuesday | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
evening. Stay with us because we have got plenty more to come, | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
including: The cost of the clean-up. Work gets started to turn College | :06:55. | :07:00. | |
Green green. And from this to the dancefloor. | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
How Eddie "The Eagle" Edwards is launching himself into a new | :07:03. | :07:12. | |
challenge. If you have been burgled at home or | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
perhaps been the victim of anti- social behaviour, how would you | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
feel meeting the person who did it face to face? As a way of keeping | :07:20. | :07:25. | |
children out of prison, a new pilot scheme is to be tried in Swindon, | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
where victims and offenders are given the chance of what is called | :07:29. | :07:34. | |
restorative justice. They left their bikes here and then walked | :07:34. | :07:40. | |
through here. One night last May, Debbie was woken by a noise in her | :07:40. | :07:45. | |
back garden. She went downstairs to find she had been burgled. The | :07:45. | :07:51. | |
child who broke in was just 13 years old. Debbie agreed to meet | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
him face to face - something that he found even more frightening than | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
the courts. It was quite an emotional meeting, because one of | :07:58. | :08:07. | |
the things that he took from me was an iPod. Everybody has got one, and | :08:07. | :08:13. | |
somebody had given it to me when I was quite ill. That hasn't really | :08:13. | :08:23. | |
got to me. I said that and he said, "I am so sorry. I wish I could do | :08:23. | :08:28. | |
something for Dewe". Part of his payback, or sentence, is to pay | :08:28. | :08:33. | |
dividends in her garden. -- for do. A I have only got a small garden | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
but he is going to have to come back and face mead and if you do | :08:36. | :08:41. | |
something, you have to pay back. The government pledge to extend the | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
use of restorative justice, a move that has been welcomed by Swindon's | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
youth offending team. We have been doing this with young people for a | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
good many years, very successfully. I believe there is a move to | :08:53. | :08:58. | |
including adults in these schemes, which is long overdue. Swindon's | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
new neighbourhood justice panels will be run by local people, | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
tackling low-level crime like graffiti and anti-social behaviour | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
on the streets. The panel will sentence offenders and bring them | :09:09. | :09:13. | |
into the same room as the people they have targeted. It does not | :09:13. | :09:18. | |
exclude the court. This is before court. Every pound spent on this | :09:18. | :09:23. | |
save �9 in the criminal justice system and many will tell you it is | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
a harder process to go through because they have to sit face-to- | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
face, and take responsibility for what they have done. The pilot will | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
be funded locally with the hope that face-to-face meetings will | :09:32. | :09:39. | |
prove so powerful, they will stop criminals reoffending in the future. | :09:39. | :09:44. | |
Police have charged three teenagers in Bristol for trying to distract a | :09:44. | :09:48. | |
pilot after a laser, like this one, was shown at the police helicopter. | :09:49. | :09:53. | |
The incident happened in the early hours of this morning. It comes a | :09:53. | :09:56. | |
day after we reported how a train driver was injured when the laser | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
was shown into his eyes. Around 150 workers at the Great | :10:00. | :10:05. | |
Western Hospital in Swindon have started the first of three one-day | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
strikes. Porters, kitchen staff and cleaners claimed they are being | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
bullied and harassed by managers from the private contractors | :10:11. | :10:17. | |
Carillon. We want to work peacefully, without any threatening | :10:17. | :10:25. | |
or bullying or other things and there is no respect at all. They | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
say they are going to give us a disciplinary if you forget to sign | :10:28. | :10:34. | |
something. It is too much mental stress. You have to think before | :10:34. | :10:39. | |
starting work, "these people are going to come," and you cannot work | :10:39. | :10:43. | |
happily. Carillon says it is disappointed the action is taking | :10:43. | :10:47. | |
place but has contingency plans in place to ensure the running of the | :10:47. | :10:52. | |
hospital is not affected. The High Court has told the owner | :10:52. | :10:57. | |
of Swindon's historic mechanics' institute that he must reimburse | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
the Council for money be spent on emergency repairs. The council | :11:01. | :11:06. | |
spent more than �4,000 on repairs to the Grade Two listed building, | :11:06. | :11:11. | |
which had fallen into a dangerous state. The owners had argued that | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
the work was not necessary, but today's ruling means they must now | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
repay the Council for the work, plus interest and court costs. | :11:20. | :11:24. | |
Work has begun to clean up College Green in Bristol, which the Occupy | :11:24. | :11:29. | |
movement left a few weeks ago. We turfing is expected to cost �4,000 | :11:29. | :11:33. | |
and despite help from a local company stepping in to help keep | :11:33. | :11:39. | |
the costs down, who will pay for Occupy started to their tented | :11:39. | :11:44. | |
protest in the city centre last October. This patchwork of mud was | :11:44. | :11:47. | |
what was left behind when they moved out just a couple of weeks | :11:47. | :11:54. | |
ago. Today, the diggers moved in as a local firm it prepares to Return | :11:54. | :12:02. | |
of the ground. It will cost the taxpayer �4,000. Council said this | :12:02. | :12:06. | |
would cost �100,000 to repair. We are down to �4,000. Quite a | :12:06. | :12:12. | |
difference. Various people had said different sums. The sum I was given | :12:12. | :12:19. | |
was �14,000. The �4,000 is a lot less, so that is great news. I feel | :12:19. | :12:22. | |
that people want to see things returning back to normal and a | :12:22. | :12:27. | |
confidence that they can come and use the green, because it is open | :12:27. | :12:32. | |
to everybody - even for protest. who will pay for this work? Occupy | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
told the BBC its legacy was more than a muddy field and that it | :12:36. | :12:41. | |
would pick up the tab. Were have not got all of the money that we | :12:41. | :12:45. | |
will need together but we are working on it. We certainly intend | :12:45. | :12:50. | |
to pay, but whether we pay the council is a different thing. The | :12:50. | :12:54. | |
land belongs to the church. We would be much happier to pay the | :12:54. | :12:58. | |
Dean and he could sort it out with the council himself. How much have | :12:58. | :13:03. | |
you raised so far? I do not have figures. I am not part of the | :13:03. | :13:08. | |
finance team. Some protesters who were on College Green have now | :13:08. | :13:12. | |
occupied this house, which has been empty for months. Others are | :13:12. | :13:16. | |
planning more occupations. So while this work should be complete by the | :13:16. | :13:20. | |
end of the month, it seems the Occupy movement could be with us | :13:20. | :13:28. | |
It was a simple bang to the head which had some devastating | :13:28. | :13:32. | |
consequences. When Ashley Luckett from Somerset was 10 years old, he | :13:32. | :13:37. | |
was knocked over in the playground. He went on to have a fit at home, | :13:37. | :13:42. | |
due to a blood clot, which left him hospitalised for a year and a half. | :13:42. | :13:45. | |
Years on, Ashley's father says he's just about come to terms with the | :13:45. | :13:49. | |
fact that he now faces spending the rest of his life as a full time | :13:49. | :13:54. | |
carer. Here's Sabet Choudhury. A few weeks after this photo was | :13:54. | :14:04. | |
:14:04. | :14:08. | ||
taken, Ashley Luckett's life was to Well done, good boy. Now 14, he is | :14:08. | :14:15. | |
partially paralysed and unable to speak. He relies on his father - a | :14:15. | :14:18. | |
single parent who's raised him since age of 2. It was all caused | :14:18. | :14:26. | |
by knock to the head in school. When I got custody, I decided to | :14:26. | :14:35. | |
devote my life to him. With me, it is 100% and nothing else. I decided | :14:35. | :14:40. | |
I could not leave him in hospital and drive away. If he had died I | :14:40. | :14:44. | |
would have been left with the guilt for the rest of my lives. | :14:44. | :14:48. | |
condition is the result of a cruel twist of fate. A ban on the head | :14:48. | :14:53. | |
which led to a blood clot. Now David is Ashley's fell -- full-time | :14:53. | :14:58. | |
carer. He is dependent on me for everything, feeding, washing, | :14:58. | :15:06. | |
bathing. It has more to both the best of our lives. It was a | :15:06. | :15:10. | |
perfectly normal life and a normal boy who could walk and do horse- | :15:10. | :15:16. | |
riding. He has now become dependent on everybody. David's biggest fear | :15:16. | :15:21. | |
is for Ashley's future. When I have gone, what would happen to him, he | :15:21. | :15:26. | |
will be in a home being looked after. And that is a very sad thing | :15:26. | :15:36. | |
:15:36. | :15:40. | ||
to happen to your son. It's awful. It is an awful reality. If someone | :15:40. | :15:44. | |
said can you give him your brain, I would. I would give him what I have | :15:44. | :15:52. | |
got. Yes, I know. The future may be tough but to David a life without | :15:52. | :16:01. | |
his son would have been even worse. And on Valentine's Day that is what | :16:01. | :16:04. | |
love is all about. Now to football and some vital | :16:04. | :16:08. | |
games tonight. All our sides are in league action, but the battle for | :16:08. | :16:11. | |
the top spots in league two is turning out to be something of a | :16:11. | :16:14. | |
thriller with Cheltenham and Swindon right in the thick of it. | :16:14. | :16:17. | |
David Passmore is here to give us a run down. | :16:17. | :16:20. | |
Yes, both Cheltenham and Swindon both face promotion rivals this | :16:20. | :16:23. | |
evening so the top of the table could have a very different | :16:23. | :16:29. | |
complexion come tomorrow morning. Cheltenham knocked off top spot | :16:29. | :16:36. | |
after Southend won last night. They play Torquay who are fourth. | :16:36. | :16:39. | |
Swindon meanwhile are in 5th place and they have a chance to make up | :16:39. | :16:47. | |
ground as they face 3rd placed Crawley. So it's all very tight. As | :16:47. | :16:50. | |
for form, Swindon have won their last five league games in a row. | :16:50. | :16:54. | |
But Cheltenham are having a bit of a wobble. Just one win in their | :16:54. | :16:57. | |
last four and they could only manage a draw at Hereford on | :16:57. | :17:01. | |
Saturday. So how does their chairman view the importance of | :17:01. | :17:11. | |
:17:11. | :17:11. | ||
It is a big game. West Country rivals. The manager of the month | :17:11. | :17:17. | |
last month, the on form team. They always play good football. So, very | :17:17. | :17:21. | |
important game. They could be level on points with us tonight if they | :17:21. | :17:26. | |
get a result was and all to play for. Well, Bristol Rovers will see | :17:26. | :17:29. | |
if they can extend their run of three successive wins when they | :17:29. | :17:32. | |
take on Shrewsbury. A third win came when they beat Morecambe on | :17:32. | :17:35. | |
Saturday. Rovers will continue to be without defenders Gary Sawyer | :17:35. | :17:39. | |
and Aaron Downes. Yeovil Town will try to put more distance between | :17:39. | :17:42. | |
themselves and the relegation zone at the bottom of league one when | :17:42. | :17:46. | |
they play Wycombe. And finally Bristol City who did so well after | :17:46. | :17:54. | |
the appointment of Derek McInnes as manager have struggled of late. | :17:54. | :18:01. | |
They lost 3-0 at Hull. They are still five points clear of the | :18:01. | :18:05. | |
relegation zone but need to prevent a run of three defeats when they | :18:05. | :18:08. | |
take on Crystal Palace. All the results in our late bulletin in the | :18:08. | :18:10. | |
10 o'clock news. We're used to seeing him launching | :18:11. | :18:13. | |
himself off a ski jump but now Eddie "The Eagle" Edwards is | :18:14. | :18:16. | |
preparing for something which promises to be even more nerve | :18:16. | :18:22. | |
racking - dancing. Eddie is taking part in the new series of Let's | :18:22. | :18:24. | |
Dance where celebs recreate famous dance routines for Sport Relief - | :18:25. | :18:31. | |
it starts on BBC1 this weekend. Eddie is with us tonight and we'll | :18:31. | :18:34. | |
be talking to him in a moment but first let's have a look at some of | :18:35. | :18:38. | |
the performances which have left a lasting impression on us in recent | :18:38. | :18:48. | |
:18:48. | :19:23. | ||
What have you done! I will not be dressing up as a woman. That was | :19:23. | :19:29. | |
one of my questions. There was a theme. Have you been watching it | :19:29. | :19:36. | |
previously? Little bits here and there. Are you a good mover? I have | :19:36. | :19:46. | |
danced in the past. I did enjoy it. But I have not done it in 10 years. | :19:46. | :19:52. | |
Are you as successful as Olympic sports? Younger viewers may not | :19:52. | :20:00. | |
remember this. I do, it is etched in my memory. You were a real | :20:00. | :20:09. | |
talking point. What year was this? 1987/88. And with this theme a bee | :20:09. | :20:14. | |
in your dancing? A little bit. It is a crash course | :20:14. | :20:19. | |
in dancing. It was a crash course in ski-jumping 24 years ago. There | :20:19. | :20:25. | |
are similarities. I am more nervous doing the dancing. You see the | :20:25. | :20:30. | |
rehearsals on Strictly Come Dancing. How does it compare? I had an | :20:30. | :20:34. | |
hour's rehearsal before Christmas and an hour's rehearsal two weeks | :20:34. | :20:39. | |
ago. The main rehearsals start next Monday and I will be there all week, | :20:39. | :20:45. | |
every day, all-day training for the show on Saturday. It is a good | :20:45. | :20:51. | |
cause. Sports relief is a great cause. I'll also be walking a mile | :20:51. | :20:57. | |
in Bristol on the day. Hopefully it will be good all round. It is great | :20:57. | :21:01. | |
to see you and you're a great sporting hero. And people can still | :21:01. | :21:06. | |
get involved. Yes, go to the website and register and they can | :21:06. | :21:12. | |
do a mile in Bristol and raise a bit of money for a great cause. Get | :21:12. | :21:17. | |
on the website and register. And we saw the website just then. Best of | :21:17. | :21:23. | |
luck, we are excited for you. very nervous! What could possibly | :21:23. | :21:27. | |
go wrong?! Well, it can't have escaped your | :21:27. | :21:32. | |
notice that today is Valentine's Day. And we thought we'd seize upon | :21:32. | :21:41. | |
the opportunity to investigate the secret of a successful relationship. | :21:42. | :21:46. | |
Work, I am the wrong person to ask! So tonight we can meet two couples | :21:46. | :21:50. | |
who have very different relationships. One couple live and | :21:50. | :21:53. | |
work together running a pub in Somerset, and the other have spent | :21:53. | :21:59. | |
many months living apart. Just how do they make it work? | :21:59. | :22:09. | |
He is at him, she is front of house. We met in a hotel in Dublin. After | :22:09. | :22:17. | |
three weeks we went out for a drink and... I had an accident with hot | :22:17. | :22:22. | |
water. He rushed in and helped me out. That was how it started. | :22:22. | :22:27. | |
moved in together for weeks later and had the same bank account two | :22:27. | :22:32. | |
months later. 13 years now and we spent time together and we are | :22:32. | :22:38. | |
soulmates. We love spending time together. The live together, work | :22:38. | :22:42. | |
together and run the business together. And they have come back | :22:42. | :22:48. | |
from holiday together. We have a good understanding of one another. | :22:48. | :22:52. | |
We crack a joke, there is a lot of laughter. The most beautiful part | :22:52. | :23:00. | |
is we evolve every day together. It is a beautiful evolution. Beautiful | :23:00. | :23:07. | |
it may be but all day every day? good sense of humour. A laugh | :23:07. | :23:12. | |
Dickie is everything. It really dares. Spending all of your time | :23:12. | :23:18. | |
together isn't the only recipe. This is Paul and Jackie. It's not | :23:18. | :23:22. | |
often you see them in the same room. I met him in church, he was | :23:22. | :23:26. | |
carrying a cross. We are interested in the same things and four friends | :23:26. | :23:33. | |
for some time. We moved here in 1966. Eventually, we got married in | :23:33. | :23:38. | |
1969. Within three years, Paul found his calling providing | :23:38. | :23:44. | |
humanitarian aid, spending months in Ethiopia and and go there and | :23:44. | :23:48. | |
travelling to natural disasters around the world. Sometimes I | :23:48. | :23:54. | |
didn't know how long he would be away for. Weeks, months. You have | :23:54. | :24:00. | |
to make a life of your own and do your things. You know he is doing | :24:00. | :24:09. | |
something that is worthwhile. And it has been needed. This has always | :24:09. | :24:16. | |
been my base. When I come back, this is where I come back to. | :24:16. | :24:23. | |
proud of him. I did say it very often! Yes, very proud. Very much | :24:23. | :24:33. | |
:24:33. | :24:35. | ||
so. And also I feel... I am a part of it. It works for them. And if | :24:35. | :24:38. | |
you're one of those people who need cheering up on Valentine's Day, | :24:38. | :24:46. | |
here's something for you. These amazing pictures of a tiny badger | :24:46. | :24:49. | |
weighing just 100 grams taken in by staff at Secret World in Highbridge | :24:49. | :24:55. | |
in Somerset. Staff there have named her Hope and are feeding her every | :24:55. | :24:59. | |
two hours, even through the night. One day they hope to release her | :24:59. | :25:09. | |
:25:09. | :25:11. | ||
I have never seen one that small! So sweet. Let's move on to the | :25:11. | :25:16. | |
weather. It was lovely this morning. The sun was out. We thought we | :25:16. | :25:22. | |
would put Gemma up on the reef. It is a little chilly on the reef | :25:22. | :25:26. | |
but nowhere as cold as this time last week. What a difference a week | :25:26. | :25:32. | |
does make. Last week, the daytime temperatures rarely struggled to | :25:32. | :25:38. | |
get above freezing. Seven days later and it's a different story. | :25:38. | :25:45. | |
In Bristol, ten Celsius, elsewhere we were not far behind. It was a | :25:45. | :25:49. | |
we were not far behind. It was a different feel to the day. We are | :25:49. | :25:53. | |
pulling in a much milder air, we have lost the eastern air and the | :25:53. | :25:57. | |
air is coming from the West. That combined with a fair amount of | :25:57. | :26:02. | |
sunshine. We saw some very nice holes in the cloud. The warmth of | :26:02. | :26:09. | |
the Sun combined with mild air lifted the highs. Ten Celsius is a | :26:09. | :26:14. | |
huge jump from last week. The mild weather continues, this evening and | :26:14. | :26:22. | |
tonight the cloud or thin. The cloud will remain mild air. The | :26:22. | :26:28. | |
enough pick us in a cloud for some patchy drizzle. The breeze picks up | :26:28. | :26:32. | |
but it is mild air and tomorrow morning a great picture but the | :26:32. | :26:37. | |
highs climbing steadily as the mild air continues to be pulled in. We | :26:37. | :26:40. | |
will see less in the way of sunshine tomorrow but everywhere | :26:40. | :26:46. | |
has a chance of double figures by tomorrow afternoon. Visibility is | :26:46. | :26:51. | |
still good tomorrow despite we will not see as much sunshine. With high | :26:51. | :26:55. | |
pressure dominating, this is the theme for the rest of the week. | :26:55. | :27:01. | |
Greasy at times, a little grey and overcast and at times damp. | :27:01. | :27:07. | |
Especially towards the end of the week. Overall, the temperatures are | :27:07. | :27:13. | |
holding out very well. High single figures or double figures and at | :27:14. | :27:18. | |
the weekend things turn chilly again with a return to frost. You | :27:18. | :27:24. | |
can get more details online. You look positively rosy cheeks. | :27:25. | :27:29. | |
That is just about is on Valentine's Day. If you have a | :27:29. | :27:36. |
