The top stories. A page -- pensioners forced to flee | :00:13. | :00:18. | |
their home, subjected to an attack by a gang after they asked them to | :00:18. | :00:22. | |
turn music down. It was terrifying, absolutely | :00:22. | :00:27. | |
terrifying. I just fear for our life. | :00:27. | :00:32. | |
A dog or in disguise, he carried out armed raids across Sussex and | :00:32. | :00:37. | |

demolition site, the baby badger Good evening. | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
A couple from Kent have had to flee their home after being attacked by | :01:15. | :01:19. | |
a gang of 20 youths who laid siege to the property, smashing all of | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
the windows and damaging their furniture. Barry Clark was kicked | :01:23. | :01:27. | |
and punched and pushed to the ground by four de. It's, simply | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
because he asked them to turn loud music being played near his home | :01:31. | :01:37. | |
town. He and his wife had had to move into their hotel. | :01:37. | :01:43. | |
Scared to return home, now holed up in a hotel with their great- | :01:43. | :01:49. | |
grandson after their home came under attack. It was terrifying, | :01:49. | :01:56. | |
absolutely terrifying. I just feared for our life. I really did. | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
It was when Barry Clark returned from hospital after being set upon | :02:01. | :02:07. | |
that the house was pelted with bricks and paving slabs. It is | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
terrible, the fact that we have done nothing wrong. All we wanted | :02:11. | :02:16. | |
to do was listen to the TV in peace, nothing else, we do not want | :02:16. | :02:21. | |
anything else out of life. We wanted to go out without fear of | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
people intimidating us, people standing over the top of this, | :02:25. | :02:30. | |
jumping up and down. They had to barricade themselves in the flat | :02:30. | :02:35. | |
and called the police. I can show empathy, I can understand that they | :02:35. | :02:41. | |
must feel... Everybody wants to feel safe in their home. We will do | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
everything we can to make them feel safe and confident, and we will | :02:45. | :02:51. | |
work with the housing provider, to offer every assurance. Evidence of | :02:51. | :02:58. | |
the damage remains. The couple say they can never return. I cannot go | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
back there. I tried Saturday to get some clothes, I locked myself in | :03:02. | :03:10. | |
the car, somebody was going to come over to go in with me. A car pulled | :03:10. | :03:17. | |
up, I freaked. I drove straight off. I truthfully do not want to go back | :03:17. | :03:22. | |
in that place. The housing association said that they take | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
anti-social behaviour very seriously. After what happened here, | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
they have been working with the local council to try to find the | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
couple alternative accommodation. They are being put up at the hotel | :03:34. | :03:43. | |
for another week. After that, they fear they could be left homeless. | :03:43. | :03:49. | |
I understand there have been two arrests? Yes, the police have | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
arrested an 18 year-old and a 19 you rolled on suspicion of actual | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
bodily harm and affray. They have been released until June while | :03:56. | :04:01. | |
police investigate. The Housing Association have told us tonight | :04:01. | :04:06. | |
that they are taking measures to evict the occupants of the nearby | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
flat. They say if the couple do want to return to their home, they | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
can offer increased security measures and also some personal | :04:14. | :04:19. | |
security advice through victim Support. But the couple are adamant | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
they cannot return. The housing association says it has given them | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
three alternatives, but none have proved suitable. The couple say | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
what they really want to do is to be able to live in a home in peace | :04:31. | :04:37. | |
and quiet. The police insist they take anti-social behaviour | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
seriously and that they acted quickly. | :04:40. | :04:47. | |
A robber who admitted breaking bookmakers in disguises, including | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
as Elvis Presley, has been jailed for life. Martin Reilly will serve | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
a minimum of 12 years for the robberies, carried out across the | :04:54. | :05:04. | |
South East, including in Eastbourne and Brighton. He netted more than | :05:04. | :05:11. | |
�17,000 from these rates. Yes, it was a raid on this form of betting | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
shop in Brighton that secured his notoriety, dropping staff, dressed | :05:15. | :05:20. | |
as Elvis Presley. He bought other disguises, wigs, beards, classes, | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
and masks, holding up seven stores in total across the south of | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
England. The Martin Reilly casually walks | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
into Ladbrokes betting shop in Eastbourne, and pulls a gun on the | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
cashier. In previous raids, he had won a disguise, but this time, he | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
had forgotten it, until he remembered to pour a balaclava over | :05:39. | :05:44. | |
his face, a mistake that led to his arrest. He employed a number of | :05:44. | :05:53. | |
disguises and was trying to hide his identity. Fortunately for us, | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
Ladbrokes had very good CCTV and they could identify him as a very | :05:57. | :06:02. | |
early stage. Unfortunately, it took us a while to catch him, but that | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
was more to do with his transient nature and the fact he was not | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
local. In a varied in Brighton, he dressed as Elvis Presley. Been | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
Ladbrokes in Bedford, he bought a white hockey mask. In an attempted | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
robbery in Hove, his disguise consisted of a thick false beard | :06:19. | :06:24. | |
and large classes. This was the man behind the mask, Martin Reilly. He | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
had previous convictions for armed robbery. He terrified staff in | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
betting shops up and down the country. These things are | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
disturbing for the staff involved. But they are extremely well trained | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
to deal with these situations, and every one of them acted | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
professionally, they did everything by the book. Although it is | :06:43. | :06:48. | |
frightening and disturbing, dated everything that they could. | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
spree began with an attempted robbery last July. His last Rake | :06:52. | :06:59. | |
was in London in October. His total haul amounted to �17,000. But now | :06:59. | :07:05. | |
the rubber in disguise is serving life in prison. -- robber. | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
His victims are still suffering from their ordeal, some of them are | :07:08. | :07:16. | |
having difficulty with sleeping and self-confidence. Thankfully, even | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
though he carried imitation guns and a knife, none of his victims | :07:20. | :07:27. | |
were ever physically harmed. In a moment, the visitor to Sussex | :07:27. | :07:32. | |
two tried to keep a low profile, but a royal taste in newspapers | :07:32. | :07:40. | |
gave her away. A sailor from Kent injured in a | :07:41. | :07:46. | |
round-the-world yacht race has been rescued. Jane Hitchens suffered | :07:46. | :07:52. | |
broken ribs and three other sailors were also injured. She was one of | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
their 13 strong crew aboard the yacht. The yacht was hit by a wave | :07:56. | :08:01. | |
and stand it 400 miles due west of the California coast in the Pacific | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
Ocean. When conditions became too dangerous for an air or sea rescue, | :08:05. | :08:10. | |
the American coast got carried out an emergency airdrop. Her | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
colleagues at the Kent and Canterbury Hospital have told us | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
they are sure she would have coped well. | :08:15. | :08:21. | |
She is very calm and collected. I am sure she is coping fine. I am | :08:21. | :08:26. | |
sure there will have been no problems with her. She is a capable | :08:26. | :08:33. | |
clinician, she is an occupational health consultant, and a former GP. | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
I am sure she took an active role in her own self diagnosis and | :08:37. | :08:44. | |
arranging for her and extraction of the vessel. | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
You have been following the story, what is the latest that you can | :08:48. | :08:58. | |
:08:58. | :09:00. | ||
tell us? She has spent the night on the coastguard vessel, which is | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
taking her to San Francisco, expected to arrive at any moment | :09:04. | :09:09. | |
now. She has had some medical treatment on the coastguard vessel. | :09:09. | :09:13. | |
We believe that she has several broken ribs, she is with a crew | :09:13. | :09:18. | |
mate, who is also injured. They were both so to be in some pain, | :09:18. | :09:23. | |
but generally in good spirits. are we expecting to happen once | :09:23. | :09:30. | |
they reached the shore? They will be met by an ambulance in San | :09:30. | :09:32. | |
Francisco, in the Bay of San Francisco, and taken to one of the | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
local hospitals, where they will get medical treatment for their | :09:36. | :09:41. | |
injuries. Later today, we expect the dot to arrive in the San | :09:41. | :09:47. | |
Francisco Bay area as well. Despite being damaged by the wave, it has | :09:47. | :09:52. | |
managed to continue the journey. It will need some repairs when it gets | :09:52. | :09:59. | |
there, but I understand the crew will continue in the race. Is this | :09:59. | :10:07. | |
sort of rescue something they are well prepared for? Yes, the Pacific | :10:07. | :10:13. | |
Ocean is a vast area of ocean, and it can be perilous at times. With | :10:13. | :10:19. | |
this race in mind, they knew that they should expect these yachts. | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
This was a freak wave, it was an unusual situation that they had to | :10:23. | :10:28. | |
deal with. Hastings Borough Council has | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
reacted angrily to plans to close all three Rail fits into the town | :10:31. | :10:36. | |
over Easter. Tourism bosses are concerned that bank holiday | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
visitors will be forced on to the buses. Network Rail says they will | :10:40. | :10:44. | |
be installing a new communication mast and repairing the Hastings | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
tunnel and have said there will be no plant closures on the railway | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
for three months this summer. A major trauma centre has been | :10:50. | :10:56. | |
opened in Brighton to provide 24 hour care. The centre is based at | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
the Royal Sussex County Hospital. Abilities will take patients there | :10:59. | :11:03. | |
with complex for multiple injuries if their journey is less than 45 | :11:03. | :11:05. | |
minutes. Work began today Installing a | :11:05. | :11:09. | |
massed on the site of a proposed wind farm off the Sussex coast. | :11:09. | :11:15. | |
E.ON wants to build almost 200 wind turbines eight miles off the coast | :11:15. | :11:20. | |
between Brighton and Newhaven by 2015. The mast will measure wind | :11:20. | :11:24. | |

Julian Gardner, 53, was killed at his home in 20th October 10. -- in | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
October 2010. What happened in court today? This was a court case | :11:47. | :11:53. | |
that began eight weeks ago, there has been a lot of evidence. The | :11:53. | :11:58. | |
judge finished the summing up at midday today. He sent the jury | :11:58. | :12:03. | |
about to begin their deliberations on the charges. Reminders of the | :12:03. | :12:08. | |
background to the case. It has been running for some time? Julian | :12:08. | :12:13. | |
Gardner died from multiple injuries suffered during a burglary on his | :12:13. | :12:18. | |
farm in East Sussex in the early hours of October 11th, 2010. The | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
police believe he suffered those injuries after being crushed | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
between two cast during a botched burglary. They launched one of the | :12:26. | :12:30. | |
biggest investigations seen in Sussex for some time, culminating | :12:30. | :12:35. | |
in a reconstruction of the crime on Crimewatch. Following the programme, | :12:35. | :12:40. | |
and an appeal, several people were arrested, and in February, seven | :12:40. | :12:45. | |
defendants went on trial, in connection with his death. Six are | :12:45. | :12:48. | |
accused of manslaughter, of conspiring to pervert the course of | :12:49. | :12:58. | |
:12:59. | :13:01. | ||
justice and conspiring to burgle. The seventh man is accused of | :13:01. | :13:05. | |
conspiring to pervert the course of justice. They all deny all of the | :13:05. | :13:09. | |
charges, and the jury will be back tomorrow to continue their | :13:09. | :13:18. | |
Our top story tonight. A couple from Kent have been forced to leave | :13:18. | :13:21. | |
their home after being attacked by a gang of 20 youths. They laid | :13:21. | :13:25. | |
siege to the property in Strood after the pensioners asked them to | :13:25. | :13:28. | |
turn their music down. Barry Clark was kicked and punched in the head | :13:28. | :13:30. | |
during the attack. Also in tonight's programme. | :13:30. | :13:33. | |
Rescued from a demolition site - Chunk, the baby badger, busy | :13:33. | :13:39. | |

wintry showers. Find out more later. If you have a story you think we | :13:45. | :13:49. | |

message starts with the letters SE. I don't know if you've noticed, but | :14:06. | :14:09. | |
there's a caravan revival going on, summoning up a sense of nostalgia | :14:09. | :14:12. | |
for childhood holidays battling the elements in the British countryside | :14:12. | :14:17. | |
and making do in an age of austerity. So the Caravan Club has | :14:17. | :14:20. | |
commissioned a South East designer to create a garden capitalising on | :14:20. | :14:25. | |
that for this year's Chelsea Flower Show. With campsites across the | :14:25. | :14:27. | |
south already reporting record levels of bookings and sales, an | :14:27. | :14:30. | |
increased interest in camping is being put down to the recession, | :14:30. | :14:33. | |
environmental factors and additional bank holidays this year | :14:33. | :14:38. | |
and last. And designer Jo Thompson's garden brings a caravan | :14:38. | :14:42. | |
to the world famous flower show for the first time. Lynda Hardy has | :14:42. | :14:51. | |
tonight's Special Report. Here is one way to spend a holiday | :14:51. | :14:57. | |
with all the comforts of home. The outdoor life with indoor East. | :14:57. | :15:03. | |
Caravan camping is the do-it- yourself holidays made easy. | :15:03. | :15:07. | |
romance and carefree days of campaigning, fresh-air, up the | :15:07. | :15:16. | |
great outdoors, hazy summer's sharing campsites. And nestled | :15:16. | :15:22. | |
amongst a floral festivities at Chelsea this year will be Doris, a | :15:22. | :15:25. | |
vintage bottle providing the inspiration for a garden designed | :15:25. | :15:31. | |
in Kent and aimed at showcasing caravans. This garden took its | :15:31. | :15:37. | |
nature from the caravan itself. The caravan is a beautiful 1950s | :15:37. | :15:44. | |
British caravan. Planting was very traditional pinks and greens, plays | :15:44. | :15:50. | |
he races and peonies. That started to give the carton this | :15:50. | :15:57. | |
quintessentially British feel. it is in place, but garden should | :15:57. | :16:04. | |
paint a rose-tinted picture of holiday memories and featuring a | :16:04. | :16:09. | |
hammock being made by a Kent artist, it will carry the very Britishness | :16:09. | :16:15. | |
of camping and reflect the feel of 1950s nostalgia. People were able | :16:15. | :16:20. | |
to go on holidays and really enjoyed themselves. They send | :16:20. | :16:24. | |
postcards and just travelling around and having holidays. When | :16:24. | :16:28. | |
you are in recession, people like to look back on could tide and it | :16:28. | :16:33. | |
had that feel of good times and holidays. Reminiscent of a time | :16:33. | :16:38. | |
when their caravan Ridley was a home-from-home, it is hoped it will | :16:38. | :16:42. | |
encourage the next generation to embrace an old British pastime in | :16:42. | :16:52. | |
:16:52. | :16:55. | ||
Now, when the Queen comes to visit it's normally a major event, pretty | :16:55. | :16:59. | |
much planned, choreographed and controlled down to the last detail. | :17:00. | :17:03. | |
But not so, it seems, in the 1970s, when the Palace tried to keep | :17:03. | :17:07. | |
things pretty low key. During that decade, Her Majesty made numerous | :17:07. | :17:11. | |
visits to stay with Lord Neville of Horsted Place near Uckfield in | :17:11. | :17:14. | |
Sussex. She'd always go to church and, as 92-year-old Canon Bill | :17:14. | :17:17. | |
Peters remembers, the village grapevine went on the alert when | :17:17. | :17:22. | |
the newsagent ordered in her favourite horse racing paper. Robin | :17:22. | :17:32. | |
:17:32. | :17:42. | ||
She was a lovely girl, actually. Beautiful, charming, for a lovely | :17:42. | :17:52. | |
smile, a lovely bottom. Terribly or Paris. -- a lovely welcome. | :17:52. | :17:59. | |
many country vicars can say they preached to the reigning monarch? | :17:59. | :18:09. | |
:18:09. | :18:09. | ||
There is my wife and my son. Canon Bill Peters did on many occasions. | :18:09. | :18:16. | |
When she first visited I never knew until that night before, when | :18:16. | :18:25. | |
Rupert Neville rang me up and said number-one, the Queen is coming to | :18:25. | :18:29. | |
church tomorrow. The bit late to prepare a special sermon, I | :18:29. | :18:33. | |
thought! He was the rector of Little Horsted Church and Rupoert | :18:33. | :18:37. | |
Lord Rupert Nevill was a neighbour with Royal connecions. This is | :18:37. | :18:40. | |
Horsted Place, now a hotel, where the Queen and Duke of Edinbrgh | :18:40. | :18:44. | |
visited more than a dozen times in the 1970s. On Sundays, the Queen | :18:44. | :18:54. | |
would always come to church. only had her private detective, one | :18:54. | :18:59. | |
policeman to stop the traffic. It was supposed to be a private visit. | :18:59. | :19:07. | |
But it always got out. The reason it got out was that the newsagent, | :19:07. | :19:16. | |
when she was staying, bought a special paper called poor sporting | :19:16. | :19:22. | |
life because the children -- because the Queen loved her | :19:22. | :19:29. | |
Horseracing. It was about as informal as a Royal visit could be. | :19:29. | :19:34. | |
It was a great joy to be able to war with her that 60 yards to the | :19:34. | :19:38. | |
church. He's celebrating 70 years as a priest in this Diamond Jubilee | :19:38. | :19:47. | |

or colour, of recent or from years It's been some time since we have | :20:45. | :20:48. | |
had a weekend where there were no losers amongst the South East's top | :20:48. | :20:51. | |
teams. But whilst Charlton and Gillingham will have been delighted | :20:51. | :20:54. | |
by their victories, Crawley and Brighton will have been a bit | :20:54. | :20:58. | |
disappointed to have only picked up a point a piece. Here's Neil Bell. | :20:58. | :21:01. | |
So well have Brighton settled in to their new ground that anything | :21:01. | :21:04. | |
short of victory is considered a little disappointing, and Marvin | :21:04. | :21:07. | |
Emnes' cleved fllicked header which gave Middlesborough the lead only | :21:07. | :21:10. | |
added to the pressure. But a typically powerful run and header | :21:11. | :21:14. | |
from Inigo Calderon after the break kept Brighton in the play offs, and | :21:14. | :21:21. | |
their manager pretty happy. We have been competing against top teams | :21:21. | :21:24. | |
that have been in this division for many years, or even in the | :21:24. | :21:29. | |
Premiership. Let us accept it and be happy and tried to make sure | :21:29. | :21:34. | |
that we tried everything and we did everything to win the play-off. | :21:34. | :21:37. | |
Charlton put their recent wobble behind them with with a wonderfully | :21:37. | :21:39. | |
worked opening goal gleefully finished by Scott Wagstaff, but, | :21:39. | :21:42. | |
despite dominating, they had to wait until late on before Danny | :21:42. | :21:46. | |
Nguessan headed home their second to keep them six points clear in | :21:46. | :21:49. | |
Lerague One. Gillingham too put in a much improved performance, full | :21:49. | :21:52. | |
back Matt Fish showed great compusure in the opposition box to | :21:52. | :21:55. | |
put the Gills in front. Their second was equally impressive Chris | :21:55. | :21:59. | |
Whelpdale turning in a Danny Spiller cross to move the Gills to | :21:59. | :22:07. | |
within four points of the playoff places. We got back on track again | :22:07. | :22:13. | |
today, a clean sheet, and other two colles. If we can keep clean sheets | :22:13. | :22:17. | |
now until the end of the season then we will be up there. After the | :22:17. | :22:20. | |
battle of Bradford, Crawley's game at Burton was rather less eventful. | :22:21. | :22:24. | |
However, the second half decision not to give Crawley a penalty for | :22:24. | :22:31. | |
handball left boss Steve Evans perplexed. No one in the crowned | :22:31. | :22:36. | |
knows why we have not been given a second half penalty. I think Marsh | :22:36. | :22:39. | |
and sitting up in the sky would have been looking daresay that | :22:39. | :22:44. | |
isn't nailed on penalty. Even so, the point keeps the Reds in the top | :22:44. | :22:47. | |
three. Sadly Herne Bay didn't make it to | :22:47. | :22:51. | |
Wembley for the final of the FA Vase. Having made the long trip to | :22:51. | :22:55. | |
County Durham in the North East, they took the lead at West Auckland | :22:55. | :22:59. | |
in their semi final second leg, but eventually lost 2-1 on the day, and | :22:59. | :23:02. | |
4-3 on aggregate. With just three days to go before | :23:02. | :23:05. | |
the start of the new county cricket season, Sussex have signed | :23:05. | :23:08. | |
Australian fast bowler Steve Magoffin. The 32-year-old won't | :23:08. | :23:12. | |
arrive in time to play on Thursday, but this morning most of the rest | :23:12. | :23:15. | |
of the squad were back at the County Ground in Hove for their | :23:15. | :23:19. | |
traditional team photo. Now, they've called him Chunk - the | :23:19. | :23:22. | |
six-week-old badger cub who's almost quadrupled in size since he | :23:22. | :23:25. | |
was discovered by workers on a demolition site in Eastbourne two | :23:25. | :23:31. | |
weeks ago. Chunk was found with his brothers and sisters, but sadly | :23:31. | :23:35. | |
he's the only one that survived. He's now being cared for by a | :23:35. | :23:45. | |
:23:45. | :23:46. | ||
wildlife charity in Kent - and Alex Beard has been along to meet him. | :23:46. | :23:51. | |
At only eight weeks old, this baby badger has survived more than most. | :23:51. | :23:56. | |
He was discovered on a demolition site in eight Polly when workmen | :23:56. | :23:59. | |
heard voices coming from underneath the concrete that they were | :24:00. | :24:06. | |
breaking up. I am amazed that any of them have survived. They were so | :24:06. | :24:11. | |
cold been found. When baby animals get this cold it can be very | :24:11. | :24:17. | |
difficult to turn them around and I think all credit to the rescuers | :24:17. | :24:23. | |
for everything that they have done. Four cubs were found six-speed | :24:23. | :24:30. | |
under the concrete slabs. It is an unusual nesting place for badgers. | :24:30. | :24:37. | |
Set on normally found in more wooded areas. Sadly only one has | :24:37. | :24:42. | |
survived but he has quadrupled in weight, earning him the name Chunk. | :24:42. | :24:48. | |
It was touch and go for a while. The intensive care with rehydration | :24:48. | :24:53. | |
therapy and slowly nurturing him every two hours, feeding him until | :24:53. | :25:00. | |
now. Before Chunk is released back into the wild he must pass a | :25:00. | :25:05. | |
tuberculosis tests and weigh more than �10. The way he is piling on | :25:05. | :25:13. | |
of weight, it should not be long. He is just too cute! Now the | :25:13. | :25:21. | |
It has been a sunny and mild spring day put it is all change over the | :25:21. | :25:25. | |
next couple of days. Temperatures noticeably cooler than last week | :25:25. | :25:32. | |
where we saw highs of 22 degrees. Over the next couple of days we | :25:32. | :25:36. | |
have a bright start to the day but it is going to be increasingly | :25:36. | :25:41. | |
cloudy and cooler. Eventually we will see some rain by the end of | :25:41. | :25:45. | |
the day. Hardly a cloud in the sky but over the next couple of days | :25:45. | :25:50. | |
things will turn increasingly unsettled. The weather front over | :25:50. | :25:53. | |
Scotland at the moment has some snow and by the time it reaches us | :25:53. | :25:58. | |
it will be quite a wintery makes. Today, plenty of sunshine around | :25:58. | :26:06. | |
and temperatures around average. Three tonight, it is could be | :26:06. | :26:16. | |
stained dry. Temperatures ranging between three and 17 degrees. -- 3 | :26:16. | :26:22. | |
and seven degrees. Tora it will be increasingly cloudy. We are going | :26:22. | :26:25. | |
to stay mostly dry during the day and by the afternoon there will be | :26:25. | :26:32. | |
some showers mostly falling as rain. Plenty of sunshine first thing but | :26:32. | :26:36. | |
increasingly cloudy. Temperatures still in double figures with height | :26:36. | :26:41. | |
of 11 or 12. But getting a little bit cooler with all the cloud cover. | :26:41. | :26:45. | |
As we move overnight into bed mistake they bought the brain for | :26:45. | :26:53. | |
us all and quite a cold picture as well. There is framed for a time | :26:54. | :26:59. | |
slow a risk of ice first thing in the morning. On Thursday, there is | :26:59. | :27:04. | |
the chance of some wet snow and sleet mixed in. Temperatures not | :27:04. | :27:11. | |
getting much above five or six degrees so wet and windy picture. - | :27:11. | :27:19. | |
- won the Wednesday. Try Piper and stay. Wednesday particularly cold | :27:19. | :27:23. | |
with temperatures not much above five or six degrees. Eventually dry | :27:23. | :27:29. |
