Commons has been cleared of rape and other sex charges. Goodbye.

:00:00.:00:00.

Welcome to Wales Today. Tonight's headlines: Former Welsh secretary,

:00:00.:00:09.

Nigel Evans, is found not guilty of sexual offences against young men.

:00:10.:00:19.

All I can say is after the last 11 months, my life will never be the

:00:20.:00:23.

same. Born and raised in Swansea - we look

:00:24.:00:27.

back at his career, and look at what his political future may hold. Also

:00:28.:00:31.

tonight: Breaking news in Pembrokeshire - specialist officers

:00:32.:00:34.

and the fire service have been sent to an incident.

:00:35.:00:42.

We'll have the latest. They may be hitting the right note

:00:43.:00:45.

but major report into our education system finds there's not enough

:00:46.:00:50.

support for teachers. After years of smoking, Margaret

:00:51.:00:53.

Barnard is battling lung cancer. Still the biggest killer of all

:00:54.:00:58.

cancers here. And a love note from Dylan Thomas to

:00:59.:01:02.

his wife Caitlin - a million pound grant helps more of his history go

:01:03.:01:08.

on display. And news coming into us tonight.

:01:09.:01:13.

Peace in our time! It is the end of a two-year long saga. A deal for a

:01:14.:01:18.

new European competition has been signed.

:01:19.:01:30.

Good evening. He says he went through 11 months of hell. Tonight

:01:31.:01:37.

Nigel Evans walked free from court after being cleared of a string of

:01:38.:01:41.

sex abuse charges, including one of rape. The former shadow Welsh

:01:42.:01:44.

Secretary who was born in Swansea had been accused of crimes against

:01:45.:01:47.

seven men, but maintained his innocence throughout. We'll be

:01:48.:01:50.

speaking to our Parliamentary Correspondent in Westminster in a

:01:51.:01:54.

moment. First to Preston Crown Court where our reporter Matthew Richards

:01:55.:02:00.

has been following the case. Thanks. It took the jury less than

:02:01.:02:07.

five hours to reach not guilty verdicts on all nine counts, two of

:02:08.:02:10.

which dated back to Nigel Evans Time as shadow Welsh secretary in 2003.

:02:11.:02:14.

The prosecution tried to paint a picture of a senior politician

:02:15.:02:16.

abusing his position by indecently and sexually assaulting young men

:02:17.:02:20.

mostly in bars over a period of ten years, culminating in the rape of a

:02:21.:02:24.

22-year-old man at Mr Evans' home in Lancashire. But the jury didn't

:02:25.:02:31.

agree and as each of their not guilty verdicts was delivered Nigel

:02:32.:02:33.

Evans became increasingly emotional in the dock. He always denied the

:02:34.:02:41.

charges, saying the incident at his home was consensual and that other

:02:42.:02:44.

alleged victims were making up their claims possibly colluding with each

:02:45.:02:52.

other. He said it simply wasn't in his nature to do this. The relief

:02:53.:02:57.

after what Mr Evans called 11 months of hell was clear to see. He emerged

:02:58.:03:04.

from court alone this afternoon to face the media and paid tribute to

:03:05.:03:07.

the support he's had from friends, family and even strangers from

:03:08.:03:10.

around the world but said now was not a time for celebration.

:03:11.:03:17.

I have got work to do. It is the work that I've done for the last 22

:03:18.:03:23.

years. So this isn't a time for celebration or euphoria. It was said

:03:24.:03:31.

that there are no winners in these cases and that is absolutely right.

:03:32.:03:35.

There are no winners so no celebrations. The fact is I've got

:03:36.:03:39.

work to do, work that I've done for the last 32 years. -- 22 years. All

:03:40.:03:47.

I can say is that after the last 11 months I've gone through, nothing

:03:48.:03:53.

will ever be the same way way back again -- the same again.

:03:54.:04:02.

The CPS and additional police have said they thought it was important

:04:03.:04:06.

to put the charges before a jury but they respected the decision. What

:04:07.:04:12.

does this mean for the future of Nigel Evans, a veteran politician

:04:13.:04:19.

who has remained a popular figure among his colleagues? Our

:04:20.:04:21.

parliamentary correspondent David Cornock is in Westminster.

:04:22.:04:26.

Those verdicts have been widely welcomed at Westminster, from the

:04:27.:04:28.

prime minister downwards. David Cameron said it was hard to imagine

:04:29.:04:32.

the relief that Nigel Evans missed a feeling. There are still plenty of

:04:33.:04:38.

questions over his future but I have been taking a look at his Welsh

:04:39.:04:43.

political groups. Evans and news. Nigel Evans behind

:04:44.:04:52.

the counter at the business set up by his grandfather. It was here he

:04:53.:04:58.

cut his teeth in business and he was taught in universities by a future

:04:59.:05:03.

MP for top he was a diminutive character and I felt he was almost

:05:04.:05:06.

bullied at university. He was not openly gay at the time

:05:07.:05:12.

that he was not the be playing, hard drinking image of a student.

:05:13.:05:17.

If Nigel Evans wanted to be a Conservative MP, there were few

:05:18.:05:21.

opportunities in Wales. The person has been duly elected to

:05:22.:05:26.

serve as member for the said constituency, Kim Scott Howells. He

:05:27.:05:36.

overcame setback to hold a seat since 1982.

:05:37.:05:42.

Nigel Evans was one of the great party animals of the Conservative

:05:43.:05:53.

party, with laughter the bar. Often seen ordering champagne and not

:05:54.:06:02.

really -- and often surrounded by young researchers.

:06:03.:06:07.

Nigel Evans spent two years as the shadow was the. We Conservatives

:06:08.:06:14.

main spokesman at Westminster on Welsh affairs. His career peaked

:06:15.:06:22.

with his selection as deputy speaker. His sexuality had long been

:06:23.:06:26.

an open secret that it was a year after his mother 's death that he

:06:27.:06:31.

decided to come out. At his house he joked about it. It was hard enough

:06:32.:06:36.

being a Tory in Swansea, never mind coming out as a full is top I always

:06:37.:06:42.

thought it was God's little joke, being a Tory and born in Swansea.

:06:43.:06:48.

Tory, gay, Welsh. Come on, give me a break! He got his break as deputy

:06:49.:06:55.

speaker at last year 's arrest put his career on hold.

:06:56.:06:58.

Friends say it should never have come to court.

:06:59.:07:01.

There are serious questions about why this case was bought and why he

:07:02.:07:06.

was perceived in the way he was. We have got to be fair and right and

:07:07.:07:09.

just two accusers that we have got to be fair and right and just to the

:07:10.:07:13.

defendant. Currently sitting as an independent

:07:14.:07:17.

MP, Nigel Evans must have to wait to find out if he will be welcomed back

:07:18.:07:21.

to the party he first joined in Swansea 40 years ago. As an innocent

:07:22.:07:25.

man, Nigel Evans will expect to be readmitted into the Conservative

:07:26.:07:28.

voluntary party. It may not be as straightforward as

:07:29.:07:32.

that. What the Conservatives are saying tonight is that talks will

:07:33.:07:38.

now happen between Nigel Evans and the local party in the Ribble Valley

:07:39.:07:41.

and also with the Parliamentary party here at Westminster. Although

:07:42.:07:46.

the local party has been supportive throughout this trial, there were

:07:47.:07:50.

elements of Nigel Evans is private life that were laid bare, for

:07:51.:07:55.

example his drinking and the revelation a complaint had been made

:07:56.:08:00.

to the government whips that the whips kept quiet about the type

:08:01.:08:05.

which may raise local concerns. One thing is certain, he may be

:08:06.:08:08.

returning as an MP but the job as deputy speaker, those dreams have

:08:09.:08:16.

still gone. A major review of the schools system

:08:17.:08:20.

says the Welsh Government lacks a long-term vision for education and

:08:21.:08:23.

doesn't do enough to support teachers and head teachers. The

:08:24.:08:26.

report, by one of the world's leading economic organisations, the

:08:27.:08:28.

OECD, also says major changes have been forced through too quickly.

:08:29.:08:33.

Here's our Education Correspondent, Arwyn Jones.

:08:34.:08:40.

What we have today is a snapshot. How well do in schools teach our

:08:41.:08:45.

children and how does the Welsh government help our teachers?

:08:46.:08:48.

Following disappointing results in Pisa tests four years ago, sat by

:08:49.:08:53.

half a million pupils across the world, the Welsh government

:08:54.:08:56.

commissioned the OECD to look at other schools. It has now been well

:08:57.:09:00.

over a year since the Welsh government commission that report

:09:01.:09:04.

from the OECD and during that time, they have spoken to teachers and

:09:05.:09:10.

teachers and pupils, trying to find out exactly how our schools operate

:09:11.:09:14.

full of they have now reported back to the Welsh government and the

:09:15.:09:17.

picture now emerging of a school system with room for improvement.

:09:18.:09:23.

Two years ago, a number of new initiatives were introduced by the

:09:24.:09:27.

former education minister. People are now tested every year and

:09:28.:09:30.

schools placed into bands full top there is a new literacy and numeracy

:09:31.:09:37.

framework in an attempt to raise performance. Teaching unions and

:09:38.:09:39.

opposition parties had complained about the lack of time to introduce

:09:40.:09:44.

so many changes all at once and today's report agrees. The pace of

:09:45.:09:53.

form has been too high. Schools, leaders and teachers, the whole

:09:54.:09:57.

system, it takes time to embed a reform and to be able to live on it.

:09:58.:10:02.

The pace of reform has been so high that there could be reformed

:10:03.:10:12.

fatigue. Heads across Wales a different man to have made it

:10:13.:10:14.

difficult to concentrate on teaching. Irfan Naseer I think it

:10:15.:10:20.

has been constant and we are not sure where we are going at times.

:10:21.:10:29.

Irfan Naseer -- It is hard to move at the pace that was government want

:10:30.:10:37.

us to. The report paints a picture of schools unable to report. It says

:10:38.:10:41.

there is a lack of planning to develop strong school leaders and

:10:42.:10:51.

training and career progression policies are underdeveloped. A song

:10:52.:10:59.

of solidarity for this class in Tredegar today that is the Welsh

:11:00.:11:02.

government standing by teachers when it comes to training? It has

:11:03.:11:08.

recently started to fund courses to develop their leadership potential.

:11:09.:11:13.

It has helped me professionally and personally. It has proved my

:11:14.:11:17.

teaching standards and allowed me to grapple the things we need a teacher

:11:18.:11:20.

to develop in the classroom to make outstanding lessons. Personally, it

:11:21.:11:26.

has allowed me to develop as a manager ready for the next career

:11:27.:11:28.

level step. That will be music to the ears of

:11:29.:11:34.

teachers across Wales and the minister says there will be further

:11:35.:11:37.

announcements on supporting teachers before the summer.

:11:38.:11:39.

Arwyn Jones has spoken to the Education Minister Huw Lewis. He put

:11:40.:11:44.

it to him that the OECD report said the Welsh government had left

:11:45.:11:47.

schools behind, by trying to do too much too soon. I think the report is

:11:48.:11:54.

actually more subtle than that in what is telling us. It says there is

:11:55.:12:00.

a risk of change and something we need to guard against. Have the

:12:01.:12:06.

forefront of my mind that every academic year that goes by without

:12:07.:12:12.

us having the highest standards and that the cohort of young people is

:12:13.:12:18.

not getting the best. But the lead author of the report has been

:12:19.:12:21.

telling us that the Welsh government have been pushing ahead to quickly

:12:22.:12:27.

and not taking the profession with them. Will you be taking your foot

:12:28.:12:33.

off the accelerator? This report is very valuable and I welcome the

:12:34.:12:37.

message. We need to digest those messages. It is right that we need

:12:38.:12:45.

to guard against the risk... But he said you are going to quickly and at

:12:46.:12:50.

the moment you are going to quickly. I am putting the report. I am

:12:51.:12:56.

quoting the author. That is something I need to bear in mind and

:12:57.:13:02.

we also need to address the issue around the support and training and

:13:03.:13:06.

professional development of the workforce of teachers. The teaching

:13:07.:13:11.

unions have been saying for a long time there is a lack of clear career

:13:12.:13:15.

progression and continuing development for teachers which is so

:13:16.:13:18.

important to get that leadership right. They say they have been

:13:19.:13:23.

largely ignored. The OECD says pretty much the same thing. I've

:13:24.:13:29.

been saying this for months. With no action. These things take time for

:13:30.:13:36.

this is a convex system and when we take those announcements, we will

:13:37.:13:40.

have everything in place to make it work, including the resources. It is

:13:41.:13:46.

too dependent on an individual school getting it together and

:13:47.:13:52.

pendant on a headteacher to motivate staff. That doesn't that come from

:13:53.:13:56.

you as the education minister? Shouldn't it be the worst government

:13:57.:14:00.

driving these changes, rather than leaving it to headteachers.

:14:01.:14:07.

Headteachers are critical in the system and they need to understand

:14:08.:14:10.

how to shepherd their staff, to leave them in terms of what they

:14:11.:14:17.

need is a school. What I can make children of is that we have a level

:14:18.:14:21.

playing field for all teaching professionals out there in terms of

:14:22.:14:27.

what's available and what we expect their management to deliver for

:14:28.:14:30.

them. To our breaking news and fire crews

:14:31.:14:33.

and specialist officers are at the scene of the incident in the village

:14:34.:14:41.

of Western in Haverfordwest. And ambience was called to a property on

:14:42.:14:45.

the outskirts of the village. Local people say a road out of the village

:14:46.:14:48.

has been closed by police. One source says a large number of police

:14:49.:14:53.

are in the area. Our reporter has just got to be seen and is on the

:14:54.:14:59.

telephone. I am on the outskirts of the police cordon. The road from the

:15:00.:15:04.

village have been shut since about lunch time by Dyfed Powys Police and

:15:05.:15:10.

there is a search at the property of the outskirts of Wiston. A man was

:15:11.:15:19.

found with nonlife threatening injuries this morning and taken to

:15:20.:15:23.

Morriston Hospital. Dyfed Powys Police were subsequently called to

:15:24.:15:27.

this property and they have been working with what they describe as

:15:28.:15:31.

partner agencies investigating this incident. I've been told by a number

:15:32.:15:36.

of local people that on disposal officers are on the scene but Dyfed

:15:37.:15:40.

Powys Police won't confirm that at the moment. Certainly, the search

:15:41.:15:45.

and the investigation is continuing this evening and a number of offices

:15:46.:15:51.

at this property on the outskirts of this rule village five or six miles

:15:52.:15:56.

from Haverfordwest this evening. We will bring you more on this story

:15:57.:15:59.

if we get it. Still to come in tonight's

:16:00.:16:02.

programme: A love note from Dylan Thomas to his wife Caitlin - a

:16:03.:16:06.

million pound grant helps more of his history go on display.

:16:07.:16:13.

Lung cancer continues to kill more people in Wales than any other type

:16:14.:16:23.

of cancer, according to new figures. Almost 1,900 people died of the

:16:24.:16:26.

disease in 2012 and though smoking is one of the biggest causes, income

:16:27.:16:30.

can also play a big role. Jenny Rees reports.

:16:31.:16:32.

She has lost count of how many toys she has knitted for charity but in

:16:33.:16:35.

the last six years, they have helped Margaret and her husband raise

:16:36.:16:38.

nearly ?40,000 for the British Lung foundation. The 70-year-old has

:16:39.:16:46.

chronic obstructive armoury disease but in February, a routine scan

:16:47.:16:51.

showed cancer. Absolutely devastated. It is not a

:16:52.:16:58.

nice thing to be told that you have, especially when it can't be treated.

:16:59.:17:02.

It can't be too, it can only be with. That's what life is so I am

:17:03.:17:12.

living in three-month sound bites, a scan and then off we go.

:17:13.:17:17.

Lung cancer accounts for more than a fifth of cancer deaths and the

:17:18.:17:21.

number of women dying of the illness has risen by over a third over the

:17:22.:17:26.

past case. Smoking accounts for 22% of cancer deaths but your postcode,

:17:27.:17:30.

income and lifestyle could also have a bearing full top We are seeing big

:17:31.:17:36.

differences between the less well-off areas of Wales and the more

:17:37.:17:43.

well off. There is a 20% difference in the rate of cancer between the

:17:44.:17:46.

most deprived and least deprived areas of Wales. 23% of people in

:17:47.:17:53.

Wales smoke. That figure jumped to more than 40% in deprived areas. The

:17:54.:17:58.

most government aims to see that reduced to 16% by 2020. It would be

:17:59.:18:03.

wrong to think all lung cancers are smoking-related. We are seeing more

:18:04.:18:12.

patients diagnosed with the disease who have never smoked. There are

:18:13.:18:16.

courses like environmental pollution, which play an important

:18:17.:18:21.

role as well for top Margaret knows her cancer will not be curate and

:18:22.:18:24.

stays focused on fundraising with their annual abseil for charity but

:18:25.:18:30.

today's report shows that survival rates for cancer are generally

:18:31.:18:35.

improving. Police are investigating the sudden death of a 15-year-old

:18:36.:18:38.

boy in Swansea. Officers were called to an area near Olchfa Comprehensive

:18:39.:18:41.

School in Sketty, at half past nine this morning. The death of the

:18:42.:18:45.

teenager, who was a pupil there, is being treated as unexplained. The

:18:46.:18:48.

school says it's shocked and saddened, and will close tomorrow

:18:49.:18:52.

afternoon as a mark of respect. The family of John McBrien from

:18:53.:18:56.

Holywell in Flintshire who was one of the football fans who died in the

:18:57.:18:59.

Hillsborough disaster has tribute to him. At the new inquests into the

:19:00.:19:03.

deaths his mother said he was charismatic, talented and modest. 96

:19:04.:19:09.

fans died at Sheffield Wednesday's ground during an FA Cup semi final

:19:10.:19:12.

between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest in 1989.

:19:13.:19:16.

A public inquiry's to be held into the application to build a racing

:19:17.:19:19.

circuit on a mountainside above Ebbw Vale. The developers behind The

:19:20.:19:24.

Circuit of Wales is promising it'll create thousands of jobs and bring

:19:25.:19:27.

world-class Moto GP racing to the area. However there's been

:19:28.:19:30.

opposition from environmentalists. The Planning Inspectorate will now

:19:31.:19:38.

hold a four day inquiry in June. Sport now and some big news tonight.

:19:39.:19:43.

Breaking sports news. It has been years in the making but

:19:44.:19:48.

tonight European peace has broken out. The end of a two-year long saga

:19:49.:19:53.

but tonight finally a conclusion in the future of European rugby. Gareth

:19:54.:19:59.

Lewis has lived and breathed this story for months. Tonight a deal.

:20:00.:20:04.

What do we know? It has been years for some people. Exactly as we

:20:05.:20:09.

reported. The Heineken Cup is going to be replaced by the European

:20:10.:20:14.

champions cup. It will be harder for Welsh teams to qualify, we only have

:20:15.:20:19.

one team next season four is top it doesn't say it specifically but the

:20:20.:20:23.

understanding has always been that this will be worth ?1 million extra

:20:24.:20:28.

each season for them. They will be happy with that. There was a

:20:29.:20:33.

translation problem with the Italian version of the document. That has

:20:34.:20:37.

held it up but now they have signed the heads of agreement, the

:20:38.:20:42.

preliminary legal document. The lawyers will go and sign it up and

:20:43.:20:45.

make it proper but this is the new European cup for next. It is an

:20:46.:20:50.

eight year agreement so it means 2022 we can do this all again. It

:20:51.:20:58.

will be an eight year agreement. I need to ask about the TV deal at the

:20:59.:21:06.

centre of this. Where will fans be able to watch it? Sky had the deal

:21:07.:21:12.

for the Heineken Cup and BT signed with England clubs which is a rival

:21:13.:21:20.

tournament. They don't like you to the -- they don't like each other

:21:21.:21:22.

very much but they are being magnetic. It has long been reported

:21:23.:21:30.

they will share broadcasting. For the next season at least, if you

:21:31.:21:35.

have got sky, you will be able to watch the European cup. We still

:21:36.:21:40.

have things to discuss between the regions and the WRU 's Mac yes, they

:21:41.:21:45.

will argue about cash in Wales but the regions will now get their money

:21:46.:21:50.

from ERC, the old tournament, which was withheld because of this

:21:51.:21:51.

difficulty. I am relieved! Wales' number one

:21:52.:22:05.

having been named European Golfer of the month. Fellow Welshman, and 1991

20 more on that later. A rarely-seen love letter, written by Dylan Thomas

:22:48.:22:51.

to his wife, will go on display as part of a million pound

refurbishment of the Centre in Swansea devoted to his life. The

:22:55.:22:57.

grant will pay for a new exhibition, which will open in time for the

:22:58.:23:01.

centenary of the poet's birth in October.

:23:02.:23:03.

It's a tiny token of affection from the pen of one of our greatest

:23:04.:23:07.

writers. Dylan Thomas used the back of a bank paying-in slip to send the

:23:08.:23:10.

note to his wife, flattering her with his love and apologising for

:23:11.:23:14.

being late posting her some cheques. It's an example of the hundreds of

:23:15.:23:17.

objects kept by the Dylan Thomas Centre which can finally go on show,

:23:18.:23:21.

now that the exhibition's set to expand. It will be redeveloped and

:23:22.:23:24.

we will put more items on display so it will be more interactive with

:23:25.:23:26.

layers of information to suit people of all ages. We will also form a

:23:27.:23:28.

travelling exhibition, to tour libraries in Wales.

:23:29.:23:31.

The Dylan Thomas Centre opened 20 years ago, and it's an important

:23:32.:23:34.

focus for the study of his life, in the city where he was born. It will

:23:35.:23:44.

also pay for a loan for some of his notebooks which include early drafts

:23:45.:23:49.

of his work. This is a great example of an

:23:50.:23:54.

example of where you can take a poet with a international reputation but

:23:55.:24:02.

also in very distinctive of his home nation and somebody whose works are

:24:03.:24:06.

an intrinsic part of our national consciousness. This will be a worthy

:24:07.:24:12.

centre to perpetuate his legacy and display a wide variety of objects.

:24:13.:24:20.

Work will get underway and by October the exhibition will be

:24:21.:24:26.

bigger and brighter. This is a mock-up of his famous boathouse. For

:24:27.:24:32.

his descendants, a chance to increase people 's knowledge of a

:24:33.:24:37.

man many people think they know. What I really hope from the

:24:38.:24:39.

exhibition is that it is going to show lots of different

:24:40.:24:43.

interpretations of my grandfather so people can look round and get a feel

:24:44.:24:48.

for what my grandfather was like from looking at descriptions and

:24:49.:24:51.

hearing about him from different points of view.

:24:52.:24:56.

As Wales and the world celebrate Dylan Thomas's centenary this year,

:24:57.:25:02.

they will now have a venue fit to hold the celebrations for the poets

:25:03.:25:05.

famous birthday. Time for the weather now - Derek's here. A nice

:25:06.:25:07.

few days in store. Keep sunglasses handy. There's more

:25:08.:25:13.

dry weather to come over the next few days. Very little rain expected.

:25:14.:25:22.

Just a few spots and still a bit chilly at night. Sunday the sunniest

:25:23.:25:25.

day of the weekend. This evening a weak cold front will move

:25:26.:25:27.

southeastwards bringing a little rain. Turning lighter and dying out.

:25:28.:25:32.

A dry end to the night with one or two mist and fog patches forming.

:25:33.:25:36.

The lowest temperature three Celsius with ground frost in a few rural

:25:37.:25:40.

areas. Tomorrow's chart shows a ridge of high pressure extending

:25:41.:25:43.

from the Azores across Wales and that means settled weather. So

:25:44.:25:46.

here's the picture for eight in the morning. Nice and dry. A bit misty

:25:47.:25:50.

in places first thing but that will soon disappear. Some patchy cloud

:25:51.:25:53.

and sunshine with just a light breeze. So, the weather in good

:25:54.:25:56.

shape tomorrow. Dry with more sunshine than today. A few cumulus

:25:57.:26:01.

as well with just the odd isolated light shower. The best of the

:26:02.:26:05.

sunshine on many coasts. Temperatures ten to 13C and in the

:26:06.:26:09.

sunshine and light winds it will feel pleasant. On the west coast

:26:10.:26:12.

tomorrow. Dry with plenty of sunshine. 11 Celsius in Aberdovey.

:26:13.:26:18.

Tomorrow night dry. The sky clear for a while so turning chilly with

:26:19.:26:21.

some ground frost but clouding over after midnight. Saturday mostly

:26:22.:26:34.

cloudy. Probably little if any sunshine. More dry weather but a few

:26:35.:26:38.

spots of light rain or drizzle likely in the afternoon and evening,

:26:39.:26:41.

mainly in Snowdonia. The RHS Flower Show starts tomorrow in Cardiff and

:26:42.:26:44.

it's looking dry. Sunday the sunniest day with a high of 13. And

:26:45.:26:48.

fine in Llanelli for the Great Welsh Marathon on Sunday. Sunshine, low

:26:49.:26:53.

humidity and light winds. Sunday the best day of the weekend. Next week,

:26:54.:26:58.

a dry start but the signs it will turn more unsettled by the middle of

:26:59.:27:02.

the week. The wind picking-up and turning colder. A reminder of the
