from the BBC News at Six. So it s goodbye from me. On BBC One we now | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
join the BBC's news teams Welcome to BBC Points West. Our main | :00:00. | :00:13. | |
story tonight: Villages still out of their homes because of flood water. | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
That could have been prevented? The Environment Agency denies it cause | :00:18. | :00:21. | |
the problems in one community by lowering the defences. But locals do | :00:22. | :00:26. | |
not believe it. I am appalled. Absolutely appalled. That is putting | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
it politely. My wife and family are devastated. | :00:31. | :00:41. | |

Hello. Flooding continues to cause misery for dozens of people on the | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
Somerset Levels. Tonight, the Environment Agency stands accused of | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
making the problems worse in one hand lettered by lowering river | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
banks and causing flooding. The agency says they work was not | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
responsible, and it has been caused by exceptional rainfall over a short | :01:24. | :01:25. | |
space of time. More bad weather is forecast | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
tonight. Our correspondent has been to Aller | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
on the Somerset Levels to find an angry community rallying around to | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
help one another. Rupert Little is on his way to check | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
on his elderly neighbours. They are in their 70s, and they have been | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
living upstairs in a flooded home without heating for the past week. | :01:47. | :01:53. | |
It is rooted. I you all right? He establishes they are OK, but they do | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
not want to appear on television. He's OK. Shy of heat and I don't | :01:58. | :02:12. | |
know how much longer they can stay. Here in Aller, several houses are | :02:13. | :02:19. | |
now under water. It was with a heavy heart that Ron Smith showed us | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
around his cottage. He and his family are still living here in | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
spite of all this. The insurance could not put the damage right, but | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
the emotional side is everlasting. He showed me why he thinks the | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
Environment Agency is to blame. On the other side of that rich, they | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
lowered a river bank to redirect floodwater onto empty moorland. But | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
the water came back into the houses. They failed to take heed of the | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
warnings from local draining boards, farm owners. They were told this | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
would happen. Yet they proceeded with this, and this serious weather | :02:54. | :03:01. | |
event, we have had flooding on an unprecedented scale in this area. | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
This afternoon, the agency said that exceptional rain caused this, not | :03:06. | :03:12. | |
the limited work on the river bank. Judging is in the headlines again | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
today. This time it is Euro MP Graham Watson saying that clearing | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
the rivers of silt would prevent flooding like this. But the RSPB, | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
who have nature reserves on the levels, say judging on its own is | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
not the answer. But perhaps in the future, more of the levels should be | :03:29. | :03:39. | |
allowed to flood. So flood more In these extreme situations, will get | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
more of this, so we may need to flood more more land to protect our | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
committees whatever the argument with dredging, people who live here | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
say they have never seen river levels this high. Here, the nearby | :03:53. | :04:02. | |
school was put on stand`by as a emergency evacuation centre admits | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
fears that dozens of times here were at risk of flooding. With more rain | :04:06. | :04:11. | |
on the way, many amenities on the levels will be holding their breath | :04:12. | :04:19. | |
again tonight. The Met Office has issued a yellow | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
warning for rain expected to fall across parts of Somerset and | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
Gloucestershire tonight. Between ten and 15 millimetres of rain is | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
expected to fall, which could cause further disruption in areas already | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
affected by flooding. And Gloucestershire, some people have | :04:36. | :04:41. | |
learnt the lessons of the past. As flood prevention measures go it | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
is pretty extreme. Sam and Dawn Ray's home was flooded so badly in | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
2007, they decided to rebuild it on stilts. It would not have been | :04:51. | :04:57. | |
easier to just move? Know, who would want to buy it? We could not sell it | :04:58. | :05:05. | |
to buy another place. Obviously we should improve it. The house is 12 | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
feet above ground with support is going underground. On the left was | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
the dining room. On the right was a lounge. Now they are both filled | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
with concrete. There is a flow of water going into them, which was the | :05:20. | :05:28. | |
flying `` front door. The extension now houses our kitchen and lounge. | :05:29. | :05:36. | |
12 feet up, safe. This was the 007 flight at the home of Val and Derek | :05:37. | :05:42. | |
Lown. It left a ?100,000 insurance bill and a determination to invent | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
something to keep the water rat This is the Flood Manager, based on | :05:47. | :05:52. | |
the material used to line ponds and left in place with sandbags. They | :05:53. | :05:55. | |
have used it twice now, and the house has stayed dry. Once you come | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
through it, you get your house back together, and then a few months | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
later, it rains and you get that horrible sick feeling in the pit of | :06:06. | :06:11. | |
your stomach, is this going to happen again? I don't get that any | :06:12. | :06:14. | |
more. At least now, when the rain comes, all I think is we have to get | :06:15. | :06:21. | |
the rain defence out. They have tried to market their invention but | :06:22. | :06:23. | |
although there has been interest, they have not sold any. There is a | :06:24. | :06:31. | |
restaurant locally that wanted it, but they have been indecisive about | :06:32. | :06:40. | |
when. As the rain starts to fall, some at least as secure in the | :06:41. | :06:43. | |
knowledge that the floodwaters will stay out. | :06:44. | :06:51. | |
While many communities are being flooded for the first time, those | :06:52. | :06:54. | |
who have suffered in the past say that the legacy is difficult to | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
shake off. To experience was badly hit in | :06:58. | :07:03. | |
2007, and aerial pictures in the press on the weekend gave the | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
impression that town was cut off again. | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
As our Gloucestershire reporter has been finding out, Tewkesbury is open | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
for business, and used to being surrounded by water. | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
Tewkesbury in 2007, the floods were, without doubt, devastating. | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
From the air, the town surrounded by floodwater. But these shots were | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
taken on Friday, and they are certainly dramatic. From the ground, | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
it looks dramatic as well, but that is a flood plain doing its job. I'm | :07:32. | :07:37. | |
a TV reporter. I am not even wearing waterproof clothing, because in | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
Tewkesbury, the river might be swollen, but the town is not cut | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
off. It is open for business. But some traders are you would not think | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
so. In this teashop, the only way the issue is a sticky door. Since | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
the aerial pictures were printed, customers seem to have dried up You | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
lack a lot of people think Tewkesbury is cut off. They think | :07:58. | :08:04. | |
they can't come in. They say are you stranded? Are you OK? We are Kate. | :08:05. | :08:10. | |
We are surrounded by water, but it is flood plains. People here say | :08:11. | :08:15. | |
they want the legacy to go away Flood plains make great pictures, | :08:16. | :08:18. | |
but they are often misunderstood, so the town is doing its best. I think | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
it is difficult because by the time you have got the message across it | :08:23. | :08:28. | |
is too late. It has gone away. I think local people are using | :08:29. | :08:31. | |
Facebook and social media to try to get it out there that we are open | :08:32. | :08:38. | |
for business. Some areas are affected, like this car park at the | :08:39. | :08:41. | |
new ?10 million hospital. But traders here say they are very much | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
open, and please, this is just floodwater. No one is flooded. | :08:47. | :08:53. | |
We hope you are keeping dry on this Shari Wednesday night. Stay with us, | :08:54. | :08:59. | |
as they join the programme: Heavens above. | :09:00. | :09:01. | |
But the night sky reveals about our universe. | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
And he is the world's greatest living explorer who has made his way | :09:06. | :09:08. | |
to our studios. We will meeting shortly. | :09:09. | :09:17. | |
A 27`year`old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after what | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
police have called a sudden death at a property in Bristol. Police say | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
they found a body on the property this morning after being told a | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
woman had died there. At this stage, the police say they are treating the | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
death as unexplained. Avon and Somerset police are hunting | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
for a man they believe poses a serious risk to children. Saber | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
Haldari is wanted in connection with sex offences committed against a | :09:44. | :09:47. | |
young boy in Bristol between January and August last year. Mr Haldari, | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
who is believed to be in the UK illegally, has links to both the | :09:53. | :09:55. | |
Afghani and Iranian communities Police say he may have travelled to | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
Birmingham, London Leeds. He is believed to be 30 years old. | :10:01. | :10:06. | |
MPs are debating whether to take action against high`stakes gambling | :10:07. | :10:12. | |
machines. Up to ?300 a minute can be spent on what are called fixed`odds | :10:13. | :10:15. | |
betting terminals. Among those campaigning for change is a | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
Wiltshire man who has gone public with his struggle to beat his | :10:20. | :10:26. | |
gambling addiction. He has acted decisively against | :10:27. | :10:31. | |
gambling. Now he wants them to. Watching MPs today, James Petherick | :10:32. | :10:34. | |
from Amesbury. He is desperate for change. I figure has been 12 years | :10:35. | :10:40. | |
now these terminals have been out. Isn't it time something was done? | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
How many years longer do we have to wait before people with gambling | :10:45. | :10:50. | |
addictions are protected? These are the machines that he blames through | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
winning his life. Up to ?300 a minute can be gambled on fixed`odds | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
betting terminals. They have proved hugely profitable for bookmakers. | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
They cost James Petherick turns maybe hundreds of thousands of | :11:04. | :11:09. | |
pounds. My name is James. This is the first of my video diaries | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
regarding my compulsory `` compulsive gambling addiction. For | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
years, he has been baring his soul online and calling for change. It | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
has had an impact. Politicians of all parties believe there needs to | :11:24. | :11:26. | |
be a clamp`down on bookies, but there is a bit of politicking going | :11:27. | :11:31. | |
on. The government say they need to await the outcome of a report due in | :11:32. | :11:34. | |
the autumn. Today was like debate has been called by Labour Hartley to | :11:35. | :11:38. | |
embarrass them. In Parliament this afternoon, Labour led the charge, | :11:39. | :11:43. | |
calling for immediate action. They have admitted they are partly to | :11:44. | :11:46. | |
blame for introducing the high stakes betting machines when in | :11:47. | :11:50. | |
government. Yellow mac I think that has been proven now. I don't think | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
we realised how addictive they would be. What we are asking for in the | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
Bay `` debate today is that local authorities should have the ability | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
to decide that there are too many betting shops in a particular area, | :12:04. | :12:07. | |
and just refuse them. But the government will not be rushed, | :12:08. | :12:09. | |
insisting changes must be the right ones. James Petherick hopes his | :12:10. | :12:16. | |
problems are behind him. I am not fixed yet, and I think it will take | :12:17. | :12:22. | |
me a lifetime to get out of my debts and what my addiction has done to my | :12:23. | :12:25. | |
life in general. But I am making slow progress and it can be done. He | :12:26. | :12:31. | |
has not gambled for a year, he just hopes that MPs will allow others and | :12:32. | :12:37. | |
easier escape from their addiction. Bristol Rovers will have their third | :12:38. | :12:42. | |
attempt at completing the FA Cup second round replay with Crawley | :12:43. | :12:45. | |
tonight. They drew nil`nil at the man Memorial Stadium. Their first | :12:46. | :12:51. | |
replay was abandoned with 15 minutes to go due to a waterlogged pitch. | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
The replay was postponed for the same reason. The winners face a trip | :12:57. | :13:04. | |
to check inside. We thought it was good conditions, and we played well. | :13:05. | :13:11. | |
It was nil`nil half`time, and second whist stepped up. The second game, I | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
don't think you could actually compare. That was just, who wants to | :13:16. | :13:20. | |
run around in this weather the most? It will be a good game if the pitch | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
is good. Will try to give them a good game. Off the pitch, the club | :13:25. | :13:29. | |
's latest financial figures do not make happy reading. Losses have | :13:30. | :13:34. | |
doubled to almost ?800,000 with the revenue through the turnstiles down | :13:35. | :13:39. | |
by 20%. However, the chairman says Rovers had budgeted for this loss, | :13:40. | :13:42. | |
and the board will continue to support the club financially. | :13:43. | :13:50. | |
The return of Stargazing Live on BBC Two this week has prompted many of | :13:51. | :13:54. | |
us to look up at the night skies. Sadly, the weather hasn't been the | :13:55. | :13:58. | |
best but that hasn't stopped many of you from joining local astronomy | :13:59. | :14:01. | |
events across our area. Matthew Pick visited a group in Wells last night | :14:02. | :14:04. | |
to find out why the subject continues to attract people of all | :14:05. | :14:07. | |
ages. Cloudy skies outside Wells Cathedral | :14:08. | :14:11. | |
limited most viewing to the moon but that didn't stop people from having | :14:12. | :14:18. | |
a look. Planets, stars and comets. It attracts the young and the old, | :14:19. | :14:21. | |
men and women, and inside, there was plenty to enthuse everyone. We are | :14:22. | :14:31. | |
making star consolations and looking at this diary and drawing them and | :14:32. | :14:37. | |
putting chocolate stars on them to take home and need. The pictures in | :14:38. | :14:45. | |
the gallery are amazing. We have seen the moon, just a bit blurry. | :14:46. | :14:48. | |
The space industry is big business but what people can achieve on a | :14:49. | :14:51. | |
more limited budget continues to surprise. | :14:52. | :15:02. | |
Using a radio transmitter in France, we are able to pick up meteors over | :15:03. | :15:09. | |
the atmosphere. There was also a display of astro photogrpahy. | :15:10. | :15:12. | |
Amazing images! And we asked you for some of yours, too. | :15:13. | :15:47. | |
Incredible images, and you can see more on our Facebook page. | :15:48. | :16:01. | |
Perhaps you are feeling inspired to go outside and look up to the night | :16:02. | :16:05. | |
sky. What can you expect to see at this time of year? This is torus | :16:06. | :16:13. | |
around us now. This is a really detailed image. However, in an ideal | :16:14. | :16:18. | |
world, you would have an astronomer and science writer with you. This is | :16:19. | :16:23. | |
an ideal universe because it is ours. This is more detailed than we | :16:24. | :16:29. | |
can expect to see, but what are the highlights you can pull out for us | :16:30. | :16:35. | |
this month? We have a lot of bright constellation is on show. You can | :16:36. | :16:40. | |
identify torus because you have the star cluster which is reshaped. What | :16:41. | :16:46. | |
I want to look at is the Pleiades, a beautiful cluster you could see with | :16:47. | :16:51. | |
just the naked eye. You will see it is made of hundreds of stars. There | :16:52. | :16:56. | |
are so many in there. It's beautiful to look at. This is somewhere like | :16:57. | :17:08. | |
the place our son was born. That's right. Our son was probably born in | :17:09. | :17:15. | |
a cluster of stars. This is probably a little bit more like the kind of | :17:16. | :17:17. | |
image a cluster of stars. This is probably | :17:18. | :17:17. | |
a little bit more like the kind of I would expect to see. This is the | :17:18. | :17:28. | |
whole consolation. The interesting thing about identifying it is the | :17:29. | :17:36. | |
belt. Underneath, there is actually a little grouping of stars, and in | :17:37. | :17:42. | |
the centre of that, a target for binoculars because if you look at it | :17:43. | :17:47. | |
on a clear, dark night, you will see its beautiful misty form. This is | :17:48. | :17:50. | |
the place where stars are being born. Young stars are causing the | :17:51. | :18:00. | |
gas to blow. That's the magic. For somebody who was not used to going | :18:01. | :18:04. | |
out stargazing, it's an easy one to find. Get your binoculars! But if | :18:05. | :18:14. | |
you do have a telescope, one of our planets is showing. Jupiter is on | :18:15. | :18:21. | |
show. If you have a small telescope, it's a wonderful target. It appears | :18:22. | :18:27. | |
as a really bright star but with a small telescope, you zoom in on it | :18:28. | :18:32. | |
and see there are wonderful cloud systems swirling around the place. | :18:33. | :18:39. | |
Even with a domestic telescope, you can probably see this? Absolutely. | :18:40. | :18:45. | |
You will also see a few points of light around it. Those are the four | :18:46. | :18:50. | |
largest moons of Jupiter. If you watch those, you will see the move | :18:51. | :18:56. | |
positions. You have given lots of ideas for all of us to be inspired, | :18:57. | :19:02. | |
so ago I `` so go out and look you will night sky. | :19:03. | :19:06. | |
Apart from a few chocolates and the odd dry mince pie, for many of us, | :19:07. | :19:10. | |
the only thing that's left hanging around from the festive period is | :19:11. | :19:13. | |
the discarded Christmas tree, waiting to be taken away. For most | :19:14. | :19:16. | |
of the little pines, after being decorated and loved, it's a trip to | :19:17. | :19:20. | |
the pulping yard. Will Glennon has been following them on their final | :19:21. | :19:22. | |
journey. Just a few days ago, this tree was | :19:23. | :19:25. | |
sparkling, decorated, sitting in someone's living room, but now | :19:26. | :19:28. | |
Christmas is over, it's become waste, so what do we do with it | :19:29. | :19:35. | |
Over the next few weeks, councils across the West will deal with over | :19:36. | :19:38. | |
1,000 tonnes of used Christmas trees. Here in Bristol, collections | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
continued today, and if you put your tree out, you'll know they're pretty | :19:44. | :19:55. | |
prickly. They are, but they supplies with protective clothing and gloves. | :19:56. | :20:00. | |
It may look like a bin lorry but it's all about recycling, and this | :20:01. | :20:03. | |
is a special collection with extra manpower. We are asking residents to | :20:04. | :20:12. | |
put their Christmas tree next to their refuse bin and we will put | :20:13. | :20:17. | |
them on the back of these vehicles and taking them off to a facility. | :20:18. | :20:20. | |
Each truck takes about four tonnes of trees before it has to drop off. | :20:21. | :20:24. | |
From here, the trees are taken to South Gloucestershire to be chipped | :20:25. | :20:27. | |
up and slowly turned into compost that'll be used in gardens, parks | :20:28. | :20:31. | |
and open spaces. But this year, some trees have been given a life | :20:32. | :20:35. | |
extension. An art project on Bristol's harbour`side, called | :20:36. | :20:37. | |
Second Chance, will show them off for another two weeks. Lots of them | :20:38. | :20:49. | |
still look alive. They still have got their leaves and smell and look | :20:50. | :20:53. | |
good. We thought it would be a really nice project to do and it has | :20:54. | :20:58. | |
an environmental edges well. We will recycle the trees afterwards. It's a | :20:59. | :21:04. | |
nice way of people prolonging that Christmas feeling. If you've still | :21:05. | :21:07. | |
got your tree, it's too late to become art, and if you want it | :21:08. | :21:10. | |
recycled, councils are reminding people to check their collection | :21:11. | :21:14. | |
days. If you miss yours, you'll have to drive it to the tip yourself | :21:15. | :21:26. | |
The Guinness Book of Records describes him as "the Greatest | :21:27. | :21:31. | |
Living Explorer". He's led 22 major expeditions to remote parts of the | :21:32. | :21:34. | |
world, including both Poles, and raised millions for charity. And | :21:35. | :21:40. | |
that's only a small fraction of his achievements. He's Sir Ranulph | :21:41. | :21:43. | |
Fiennes, of course, and tonight he's in Bristol to give a talk all | :21:44. | :21:47. | |
about his life, entitled Beyond the Limits. He joins us now. You | :21:48. | :22:01. | |
frightened of anything? Yes. My wife's driving! And other things. | :22:02. | :22:11. | |
You have had so many scrapes and near death experiences and yet, you | :22:12. | :22:16. | |
always bounce back. Touch wood. That has been the case so far. But polar | :22:17. | :22:24. | |
exploring and that sort of thing isn't deftly. You plan everything to | :22:25. | :22:31. | |
avoid risks. The previous people had not broken world records because | :22:32. | :22:38. | |
they ran into risks. Sometimes, we do go wrong because the ice behaves | :22:39. | :22:44. | |
badly, but mostly, we been lucky. Health and safety is important to | :22:45. | :22:50. | |
you, too. We don't like health and safety at all! Having said that you | :22:51. | :22:59. | |
had a massive heart attack ten years ago. You were in a coma for three | :23:00. | :23:03. | |
days after that, a double bypass, and soon after that, you were | :23:04. | :23:10. | |
running seven marathons over seven days on seven continents. Didn't | :23:11. | :23:14. | |
your cardiac specialist say monitor your heart beats but you forgot to | :23:15. | :23:20. | |
take your monitor with you? That is correct. That heart attack probably | :23:21. | :23:26. | |
came from my colleague, a top nutritionist, who stacked fat into | :23:27. | :23:32. | |
our rations because you need maximum calories for minimum weight. So 60% | :23:33. | :23:43. | |
fat for three months probably brought that on! What would life be | :23:44. | :23:49. | |
like without adventure for you? You are ex`SAS and all that. You do live | :23:50. | :23:57. | |
life on the edge. As far as the SAS is concerned, yes, because they | :23:58. | :24:00. | |
threw me out for blowing up a building. In Chippenham, in fact. | :24:01. | :24:10. | |
That was living a bit on the edge. But I have behaved better since | :24:11. | :24:15. | |
Every man was to be like you because you are so capable, you can handle | :24:16. | :24:20. | |
any situation that comes your way. Again, my wife would definitely | :24:21. | :24:29. | |
disagree with that. What's next I am about to do a 600th anniversary | :24:30. | :24:41. | |
book about Asian core. `` as you in court. They have asked me to write | :24:42. | :24:49. | |
the official book. We look forward to that. Your exploits with the | :24:50. | :24:55. | |
French. Have a good talk when you give that tonight. | :24:56. | :25:09. | |
Pretty cloudy, it has to be said, but so it has been a good part of | :25:10. | :25:19. | |
the day. Colin Fisher took this lovely picture showing the extent of | :25:20. | :25:27. | |
the flooding over the levels. At ground level yesterday, Troy took | :25:28. | :25:35. | |
this picture. It masks anything but a picturesque story. Tomorrow at | :25:36. | :25:41. | |
least will bring relief. Dry weather about. Breezy day. Milder through | :25:42. | :25:48. | |
the morning. The rainfall radar showing the extent of rainfall so | :25:49. | :25:56. | |
far. This showery cluster is looking heavier. We will continue with a | :25:57. | :26:05. | |
yellow warning. Just to cater for the possibility this will not help | :26:06. | :26:09. | |
flooding problems. But tonight, it all clears away. Barring showers | :26:10. | :26:16. | |
periodically, it will be, all in all, a much better day. For the rest | :26:17. | :26:23. | |
of this evening, we have lacklustre moving its way northwards which | :26:24. | :26:28. | |
could bring heavier showery rain, some of that lingering. It could be | :26:29. | :26:34. | |
a damp start for some of you. But elsewhere, a broadly dry picture. | :26:35. | :26:40. | |
Temperatures tonight would be particularly chilly. Tomorrow, then, | :26:41. | :26:47. | |
we pick up on the theme of showers Pru radically, but as the day wears | :26:48. | :26:51. | |
on, it will brighten up. Many of you will avoid the showers. The showers | :26:52. | :27:00. | |
becoming less of a feature as arrows ticked by and it will be decent | :27:01. | :27:07. | |
enough. But these temperatures are likely to be nines and tens. That | :27:08. | :27:12. | |
Chile is real of sorts developing in the afternoon. Looking beyond that, | :27:13. | :27:23. | |
we have further, weak rain on the way on Friday. Saturday decent. | :27:24. | :27:27. | |
Wetter on Sunday. It will turn colder next week. | :27:28. | :27:31. | |
If it's not one thing, it's another! I'm off to swap adventure stories | :27:32. | :27:41. | |
about | :27:42. | :27:49. |
