Good evening. Residents of Luchelney first look at | :00:00. | :00:11. | |
Good evening. Residents of Luchelney on the Somerset Levels held their | :00:12. | :00:16. | |
final flood lunch today. Evdry Sunday since the village has been | :00:17. | :00:20. | |
cut off, 50 people have gathered for a weekly meal. Now, the roads are | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
open and life is slowly rettrning to normal. Muchelney Church, place of | :00:25. | :00:38. | |
worship, village hall and communal dining room. The first week we were | :00:39. | :00:44. | |
flooded we had the need to be together and we have always been a | :00:45. | :00:48. | |
community minded village. They have held what they called a flood lunch | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
here every Sunday since the village was cut off. People bringing and | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
sharing what they can. My contribution was a lemon drhzzle | :00:56. | :01:01. | |
cake. Moist, sour, lovely, thank you very much. Not the ideal wax to meet | :01:02. | :01:08. | |
neighbours, but it has been positive in that sense. Another positive is | :01:09. | :01:14. | |
that this flooded house is beginning to dry out. The McDonaghs only moved | :01:15. | :01:23. | |
in in November. The Christm`s cards a poignant reminder of their first | :01:24. | :01:30. | |
happy days. We have been out of the house longer than we were in it The | :01:31. | :01:38. | |
worst does seem to be over. By this time last week it was still cut off | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
but what a difference the wdek makes. Three out of four ro`ds can | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
be used by cars and it is only this last one you have to pass whth care. | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
That is using a 4x4 vehicle. Thoughts now are turning to the | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
future. Dredging of the Rivdr Tone and Parrett should start anx day. | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
Which people here hope will save the village from another winter of | :02:00. | :02:05. | |
discontent. The Kennet and @von Canal remains partially closed in | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
Bath after a narrow boat capsized in a lock at Widcombe. It happdned | :02:09. | :02:14. | |
yesterday afternoon and, although no one was hurt, the stretch whll stay | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
shut until a crane can lift it out in two days' time. The Paralympic | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
gold medallist Richard Whitdhead says he is disappointed mord is not | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
being done here to support xoung people in sport. Richard, who is | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
president of the North Somerset Athletics Club, was in | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
Weston`super`Mare at the st`rt of a 24`hour fundraising relay around the | :02:32. | :02:41. | |
pier. Springing into action in the spring sunshine. Members of North | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
Somerset Athletics Club running for 24 hours to raise money to build | :02:45. | :02:53. | |
their own training facility. At the moment there is no dedicated | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
facilities and we have to trade in school playing fields, sports halls, | :02:57. | :03:03. | |
and we are a club with 650 lembers and nowhere to train properly. They | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
have the backing of Paralympian gold medal sprinter Richard Whitdhead. It | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
is disappointing the county does not have a training facility for the | :03:14. | :03:15. | |
young people to continue thdir dreams in athletics. For me, it is | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
important facilities are av`ilable and hopefully, after 2012, there is | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
more positive thinking to provide such services. The pier provided the | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
training ground for the last 24 hours with some runners doing a full | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
marathon. I did this shift from 9pm on Saturday and I am staying until | :03:36. | :03:43. | |
12 today. We ran a marathon, me and my team`mates. A couple of weeks, I | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
thought it would be easy, btt I realise now it is quite hard. Hard | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
work but worth it. They need to raise 100,000 and today werd off to | :03:52. | :03:57. | |
a very good start. It's been another warm and sunny | :03:58. | :04:03. | |
day. Next week is not looking quite so good. Here's Holly Green with the | :04:04. | :04:09. | |
forecast. We have seen beautiful blue skies | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
but the cloud is thickening up and that process will continue tonight. | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
The cloud is streaming in from the west. It is low and we could see | :04:17. | :04:23. | |
mist and fog, maybe drizzle here and there. It will be a mild picture. | :04:24. | :04:31. | |
Tomorrow, it starts on a grdy note. We will see brightness breaking | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
through, but more limited than today and around the coast, we cotld keep | :04:37. | :04:45. | |
a lot of cloud and perhaps drizzle. In any sunshine it will feel | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
reasonably warm. Towards thd middle of the week, it is looking cloudy | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
and breezy but Thursday could bring rain and perhaps gales. | :04:54. | :04:58. | |
And that's all from the teal this evening. We'll be back with | :04:59. | :04:59. | |
Breakfast from six. Goodnight. Good evening. Spring well and truly | :05:00. | :05:11. | |
sprung this week. Yet again, today was a beautiful day, with lots of | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
sunshine around, particularly in the south-east. Highs of 20 Celsius in | :05:15. | :05:20. | |
St James's Park. A different story further west with thicker cloud | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
Only nine Celsius, the high here. I suspect this week cloud will be more | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
of an issue and we will see some rain around as well. Not quite as | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
warm as in recent days. In fact we start off Monday on a pretty | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
overcast note across the country. There'll be rain as well in | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
Scotland. Steadily pushing into the Northern Isles. Breezy, not the | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
strong winds we have seen today Nevertheless, | :05:46. | :05:47. |
