The care home closing down; families are given less than a week | :00:09. | :00:19. | |
:00:19. | :00:20. | ||
to find new accommodation for loved ones. I have been waking up at 4am, | :00:20. | :00:25. | |
or worrying what will happen. It has been quite devastating. I | :00:25. | :00:28. | |
thought she would be there for the rest of her life. Good evening. The | :00:28. | :00:31. | |
home on Dartmoor has gone into administration causing distress for | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
residents and their relatives. Also tonight: earning while they're | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
learning, the region has seen a huge rise in the number of | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
apprentices. And the very lucky little boy who | :00:38. | :00:48. | |
:00:48. | :00:48. | ||
survived a fall from an upstairs window. I ran round to the garden, | :00:48. | :00:54. | |
where I knew he would be if he had fallen. He was on the patio slabs, | :00:54. | :00:58. | |
crying but moving. A South West care home is closing | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
leaving families of the elderly and vulnerable residents with just days | :01:01. | :01:03. | |
to find new places for their relatives. Holcombe House, in | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
Moretonhampstead on Dartmoor, specialises in care for people with | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
dementia. Families were given only a week's notice of its closure. The | :01:08. | :01:13. | |
region has seen a spate of care homes shut in the economic downturn. | :01:13. | :01:22. | |
Our correspondent Simon Hall reports from Moretonhampstead. | :01:22. | :01:27. | |
Sheila is 86, suffering from dementia and one of the people | :01:27. | :01:32. | |
needing to find a new care home. Her daughter is spending much of | :01:32. | :01:37. | |
her time trying to find a place, so far without success and it is | :01:37. | :01:44. | |
taking toll. His is a very exciting. I have been waking up at 4am. -- it | :01:44. | :01:49. | |
is very upsetting. It has been quite devastating. I thought she | :01:49. | :01:54. | |
would be there for the rest of her life. She was happy, I did not | :01:54. | :01:59. | |
foresee that anything like this would happen. So, it is terribly | :01:59. | :02:05. | |
upsetting. The a would not allow us into film but I did speak briefly | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
to a member of staff who told me that everybody here was very sad | :02:09. | :02:17. | |
but had no further comment to make. There are 11 residents here, a | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
specialist care centre, where most have demands year. Only last week | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
were families told it was closing, leaving them just seven days to | :02:25. | :02:31. | |
find new homes for relatives. Really short notice, unavoidable | :02:31. | :02:38. | |
really. Revenue and Customs were owed money, we could not let it | :02:38. | :02:45. | |
happen. It is not their fault but we could not let it happen. School | :02:45. | :02:50. | |
was of care homes have closed since the economic downturn began, -- | :02:50. | :02:55. | |
scores of care homes. The umbrella caird Group which suppliers for it | :02:55. | :03:05. | |
:03:05. | :03:10. | ||
-- care group which suppliers for it. Devon County Council said they | :03:10. | :03:15. | |
were working with the owners here, residents, the families and the NHS | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
to find alternative accommodation for the residents which would meet | :03:19. | :03:26. | |
their individual needs. The House is due to close on Friday. | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
Well, Martyn Rogers is the director of the charity Age UK in Exeter. I | :03:30. | :03:36. | |
asked him why more and more care homes are struggling to stay open. | :03:36. | :03:43. | |
We know the public purse is under a lot of pressure. The local | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
authorities are really stretched. They are placing fewer people in | :03:47. | :03:52. | |
care homes, costs are going up for care home owners and four smaller | :03:52. | :03:57. | |
care homes where they don't have the larger volumes and the | :03:57. | :04:03. | |
economies are scaling back it is very tough. The be families from | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
this particular home are very worried about the timescale, and | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
less than a week to find alternative arrangements. What do | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
you make of that? It is astonishing, to give just a week for them to | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
find accommodation is horrendous. It is such a big issue to get this | :04:20. | :04:26. | |
right for people. To find the right place for them for them to be | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
comfortable, in proximity to their residents who want to visit. It is | :04:30. | :04:36. | |
a very big issue and to do it in a week is very tough. The residents, | :04:36. | :04:42. | |
one in particular, talking about her mother. Talking about older, | :04:42. | :04:47. | |
vulnerable people. What effect will this have on them? Very often we | :04:47. | :04:52. | |
don't know, but people will be disorientated. It takes time for | :04:52. | :04:58. | |
them to settle in and feel safe and secure. The are people of moving to | :04:58. | :05:08. | |
:05:08. | :05:10. | ||
a new home can -- the upheaval of moving. There is no alternative if | :05:11. | :05:16. | |
the money runs out, but it is difficult for people to readjust, | :05:16. | :05:21. | |
if they have memory difficulties and some disorientation. Thank you. | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
There's been a 40 percent increase in the number of people becoming | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
apprentices across the South West. Earning whilst learning has | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
attracted thousands in the hope there'll be a job at the end of it. | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
But business leaders say more needs to be done to help small firms take | :05:34. | :05:44. | |
:05:44. | :06:03. | ||
on apprentices. Sarah Ransome reports. The deep end. Concerns for | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
some over low pay are not putting others off, apprenticeships going | :06:07. | :06:12. | |
up around 40 per cent in the region. Helping students stand out from the | :06:12. | :06:17. | |
crowd, Lee McQueen is no stranger to the boardroom or learning on the | :06:17. | :06:25. | |
job. He knows just how to get hired. It if you can showcase your skills, | :06:25. | :06:30. | |
an apprenticeship does that, if you can do that for an employer, there | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
is every chance of getting a job and a better chance at the end than | :06:34. | :06:40. | |
if you had not done an apprenticeship. Not all of those | :06:41. | :06:46. | |
two start stick to it, but with millions being pumped in, it is | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
clear the government is committed and one small companies involved. | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
More at the sharp end approve of the scheme but say it must be | :06:54. | :07:00. | |
simplified. There are some teething problems, partly red tape, partly | :07:00. | :07:06. | |
the cost and partly skills levels. We need to make sure that it is the | :07:06. | :07:12. | |
only game in town, the governor need to support it. For George, he | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
is one of the lucky ones. He already knows he is not getting the | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
chop. South West colleges for students | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
with disabilities say young people are missing out on the chance of a | :07:24. | :07:26. | |
more independent life because some councils won't approve placements | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
out of their home county. Foxes Academy in Somerset says many | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
youngsters who'd benefit from specialist residential training are | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
sent to local colleges instead. Here's our Health Correspondent | :07:33. | :07:43. | |
:07:43. | :07:47. | ||
Sally Mountjoy. This hotel on Minehead seafront with a | :07:47. | :07:53. | |
traditional Victorian facade for an unconventional establishment. It is | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
staffed by students with learning disabilities at this training | :07:57. | :08:07. | |
:08:07. | :08:08. | ||
college. In his everything OK? Lovely. Daniel from north Devon is | :08:08. | :08:13. | |
19 and autistic, he began a three- year course in September and is | :08:13. | :08:18. | |
gaining qualifications for work and learning to live independently. | :08:18. | :08:23. | |
like doing everything, the cleaning and cooking. There's nothing I | :08:23. | :08:29. | |
don't like here. Have you made lots of friends? Yes, I have made some | :08:29. | :08:35. | |
friends in my house. Without this he would not have reached his full | :08:35. | :08:40. | |
potential, the changes in the last few months have been incredible. He | :08:40. | :08:46. | |
has got a chance to live semi- independently, to semi- support | :08:46. | :08:53. | |
himself and work much better in society. Daniel was first told he | :08:53. | :08:58. | |
should go to his local education college, his family lost an appeal | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
against that decision but Devon County Council later changed its | :09:02. | :09:12. | |
:09:12. | :09:12. | ||
mind. He is now one of seven students at the Academy. Other up | :09:12. | :09:18. | |
academies are being crated but councils need to increase the | :09:18. | :09:23. | |
enrolment. There is concern that many are missing out on the | :09:23. | :09:29. | |
opportunities offered by specialist colleges. His it is where they | :09:29. | :09:33. | |
learn to get up and into the workplace, in the evening to sort | :09:33. | :09:38. | |
themselves out, what they will do. Cooking for themselves. All of | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
these things can happen in a residential environment, but not | :09:42. | :09:52. | |
when you go to a local college for a few days a week. I can take the | :09:52. | :09:58. | |
empty ones. Ali, who has Down's syndrome lives in her own flat. She | :09:58. | :10:08. | |
:10:08. | :10:08. | ||
credits her time for the -- time here for her independence. Fox's | :10:08. | :10:13. | |
gave her a really high expectation of being able to live independently, | :10:13. | :10:20. | |
to make her own decisions and going out to work like everybody else. | :10:20. | :10:30. | |
Devon, Cornwall and Sussex say they are looking for local provisions, | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
but several specialist colleges in the south-west have told us that | :10:34. | :10:38. | |
parents often have to fight to get their disabled youngsters in and | :10:38. | :10:42. | |
some are never even told this option exists. | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
It's been another record breaking year for the region's lifeboats. | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
New figures out today show the service received more call outs | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
than ever before. Crews in the South West launched more than one | :10:52. | :10:54. | |
thousand five hundred times, rescuing hundreds of people. As Amy | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
Cole reports some crews believe the growing number of tourists are | :10:57. | :11:07. | |
:11:07. | :11:09. | ||
failing to take basic sea safety precautions. 16 people had to be | :11:09. | :11:13. | |
rescued off the Dorset coast when sailing boat was dismasted in rough | :11:13. | :11:18. | |
seas last September. Figures out today showed the crew of the | :11:18. | :11:23. | |
lifeboats aided the most people nationally, bringing 176 safely to | :11:23. | :11:29. | |
shore. It has been hard work. of the crew are volunteers, I think | :11:29. | :11:36. | |
we have done over 2000 hours at sea. That is a long time away from | :11:36. | :11:42. | |
families and work. David is the coxswain of Plymouth lifeboat, he | :11:42. | :11:48. | |
has been involved for 26 years. A relationship which emerged after he | :11:48. | :11:55. | |
needed rescuing in 1969. I was away in an angling party, we lost our | :11:55. | :12:00. | |
anchor and that was that, that is what persuaded me to do it. This is | :12:00. | :12:07. | |
where the crew sit, with our charts and our radar. 2011 was their | :12:07. | :12:14. | |
busiest year on record, Dave has a simple theory for it. Because of | :12:14. | :12:18. | |
the economy more people are on holiday in the UK. If they come | :12:18. | :12:23. | |
down from in and they don't know anything about tides, that is the | :12:23. | :12:29. | |
only thing I can put it down to. The last year Plymouth's lifeboats | :12:29. | :12:35. | |
were the busiest in Devon with 118 launches, in Cornwall they notched | :12:35. | :12:41. | |
up 102 launchers, beaches with the highest number of incidents were | :12:41. | :12:46. | |
all in Cornwall with 827 people needing assistance. Day or night | :12:46. | :12:53. | |
they are always ready to respond to Now, it is the kind of story that | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
would make every parent's heart stop. Three-year-old Freddie | :12:56. | :12:59. | |
Downing was playing on Christmas morning when he fell 20 feet out of | :12:59. | :13:04. | |
a bedroom window straight onto a paving slab. But incredibly, he | :13:04. | :13:06. | |
survived. His mother told Spotlight's Johnny | :13:07. | :13:09. | |
Rutherford his lucky escape was down to a quick response by the | :13:10. | :13:19. | |
Devon Air Ambulance. Vicar December was a memorable | :13:19. | :13:23. | |
month for Freddie Downing. Not just because of his third birthday or | :13:23. | :13:29. | |
his presence from Santa. On Christmas Day, he nearly died. | :13:29. | :13:34. | |
were having a meal with all our family. We were just about to go | :13:34. | :13:38. | |
out and visit some friends in the village. Our daughter came down | :13:38. | :13:43. | |
saying that he had fallen out of his bedroom window. I was very | :13:43. | :13:47. | |
shocked and ran round to the garden where I knew he would be if he had | :13:47. | :13:51. | |
fallen. He was there on the patio slabs just crying but actually | :13:51. | :13:55. | |
moving. This is the bedroom where Freddie Downing was playing with | :13:55. | :14:00. | |
his sisters. He managed to climb up on to the window ledge, opened the | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
window and fell quite a distance on to his head. He was not really | :14:04. | :14:10. | |
opening his eyes but he was crying very loudly. He was still moving | :14:10. | :14:14. | |
and it did not feel like he was rigid. We went inside and waited | :14:15. | :14:19. | |
for the air ambulance to come. Devon Air Ambulance arrived quickly | :14:19. | :14:24. | |
from the air base and took Freddie Downing and his mum to hospital. | :14:24. | :14:28. | |
After finding that fractures in his skull, the other Devon Air | :14:28. | :14:31. | |
Ambulance was called to fly him to Bristol for special neurological | :14:31. | :14:37. | |
care. It was crucial to stabilise him and he needed the specialist | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
treatment. This was the fastest way to get him there and it was very | :14:40. | :14:45. | |
critical. He was a very lucky little boy. Freddie Downing had two | :14:45. | :14:49. | |
blood clots on the brain. His life hung in the balance for almost a | :14:49. | :14:54. | |
week. Even after developing a lung infection, this lucky boy pulled | :14:54. | :14:59. | |
through. Finally, on New year's Eve, they successfully removed the tube | :14:59. | :15:03. | |
and he was breathing on his own. He came round and recognised us. He | :15:03. | :15:08. | |
was not moving a great deal to start with, but he seemed to have | :15:08. | :15:15. | |
everything back to relative normality. I fell out the window. | :15:15. | :15:19. | |
You fell out the window? And then what happened. He lived to tell the | :15:19. | :15:24. | |
tale. It has been confirmed fishermen are | :15:24. | :15:27. | |
to get European funding to fit life-saving emergency stop buttons | :15:27. | :15:30. | |
to their vessels after a campaign by the South East Cornwall MP | :15:30. | :15:34. | |
Sheryll Murray. Her husband Neil died while fishing alone in his | :15:34. | :15:38. | |
boat off the Cornish coast last year. A toggle on his hood got | :15:38. | :15:42. | |
caught in netting equipment. It is thought if he had had an emergency | :15:42. | :15:50. | |
stop button, it would probably have saved him. No one knows more than I | :15:50. | :15:55. | |
do that our fishermen are due a heroic and very dangerous job. I | :15:55. | :16:00. | |
hope they will now all fit emergency stop valves to their | :16:00. | :16:03. | |
vessels as soon as possible. Torbay has become the first borough | :16:03. | :16:07. | |
in the country to put a monetary value on its trees. A Tree-conomics | :16:07. | :16:10. | |
Survey, as it is called, has looked at what trees are worth, and what | :16:10. | :16:13. | |
it should cost to replace them. Trees in Torbay have been rated and | :16:13. | :16:17. | |
totalled at �280 million. Environmentalists hope valuing | :16:17. | :16:27. | |
:16:27. | :16:29. | ||
trees in this way will help to protect them. | :16:29. | :16:32. | |
There is more to trees than just making the place look nice. The | :16:32. | :16:37. | |
survey looked at how many there are and fair value in terms of the work | :16:37. | :16:40. | |
they do removing pollutants from the air and the social damage if | :16:40. | :16:44. | |
they were cut down. You might be wondering, what difference would it | :16:44. | :16:48. | |
make giving trees a monetary value. In this case, every time they build | :16:48. | :16:53. | |
a road or a new building, if they chop down trees, then that they we | :16:53. | :16:58. | |
invest in planting new ones. In the past, that would have been a | :16:58. | :17:03. | |
discussion, not a contract. Now, they have a natural value. They are | :17:03. | :17:10. | |
an asset, which makes them valuable. �280 million seems like a large | :17:10. | :17:14. | |
figure, and it is not encouraging. Some councils have Valleys their | :17:14. | :17:21. | |
parks at only one pint notation will buy new. To have trees | :17:21. | :17:24. | |
quantified in this way is really great for securing budgets. | :17:24. | :17:29. | |
survey found there were more than 800,000 in Torbay - that is 12% of | :17:29. | :17:34. | |
the baroque. It shows the importance of those trees. It | :17:34. | :17:39. | |
allows us to understand that. That does not have to be a barrier to | :17:39. | :17:42. | |
development. We just have to be careful that we replace what we | :17:42. | :17:48. | |
lose. The survey cost �30,000. 10,000 fund a local taxpayer, and | :17:48. | :17:53. | |
the rest from the Forestry Commission. Torbay is famous for | :17:53. | :17:58. | |
its palm trees. The survey found the result that many of them - just | :17:58. | :18:03. | |
3% - and put in tourism aside, they are not that valuable ecologically. | :18:03. | :18:06. | |
As we mentioned yesterday, Sport Relief is just over a month away | :18:06. | :18:10. | |
now and many of you will be getting ready to go the extra mile for the | :18:10. | :18:13. | |
charity. The South West's flagship event will be held in Plymouth. | :18:13. | :18:16. | |
Natalie has been to check out the venue with someone who knows a | :18:16. | :18:25. | |
little bit about fitness. It is a glorious day up here where | :18:25. | :18:30. | |
are the biggest Sport Relief mile event in the region will be held. I | :18:30. | :18:34. | |
am with Chris Hargreaves, former professional the dollar. Here we | :18:34. | :18:40. | |
are again. It is fantastic. It raises money for a good cause. | :18:40. | :18:44. | |
were a professional sportsman for a very long time. How easy is it to | :18:44. | :18:49. | |
run one mile? Not too bad, considering you can walk it as well. | :18:49. | :18:52. | |
I would not recommend running six miles, but most people could cope | :18:52. | :18:58. | |
with a mile. You can either choose to do one mile, three miles, or six. | :18:58. | :19:02. | |
His six for the more serious? Buy yourself some new trainers and | :19:02. | :19:07. | |
take your time for the six miles! But everyone can do one. What you | :19:07. | :19:12. | |
think of the setting? It could not be better. It is beautiful today. | :19:12. | :19:15. | |
You have to want to run today. couple of years ago, the weather | :19:15. | :19:22. | |
was like this on the day. Fingers crossed! While we're on the subject | :19:22. | :19:27. | |
of charity, Plymouth Argyle, who used to play for, announce some | :19:27. | :19:31. | |
details about a big event to raise money for the star fund that is | :19:31. | :19:35. | |
going to be taken place in May. If you are Manchester United supporter, | :19:35. | :19:40. | |
then listen up! It involves some of the clubs are legends. | :19:40. | :19:46. | |
They have played more than 800 games and in May, at Alex Stepney | :19:46. | :19:50. | |
and spark there are Britain will bring some of their vintage team | :19:50. | :19:53. | |
mates to Home Park for a very special match. They will face an | :19:53. | :19:56. | |
Argyll legends team to help raise money for staff members who lost | :19:56. | :20:01. | |
out when the club went into administration last year. When we | :20:01. | :20:04. | |
got an opportunity to bring Manchester United legend stunned to | :20:04. | :20:09. | |
Plymouth, we thought it was a great opportunity for Plymouth as a whole | :20:09. | :20:12. | |
and to celebrate the staff payments quicker than the five-year plan | :20:12. | :20:16. | |
that is currently in place. He is regarded as one of Argyll's | :20:16. | :20:21. | |
greatest-ever players, but in more than 300 games for Plymouth, Tommy | :20:21. | :20:25. | |
Tynan never once lined up against the Red Devils. I have played at | :20:25. | :20:31. | |
youth level, but there are so many big names coming down to Plymouth | :20:31. | :20:36. | |
Argyle and it'll be great to play against and. The older guys and the | :20:36. | :20:43. | |
team - I am one of them! - then there are a few younger guys at | :20:43. | :20:50. | |
Peter Davenport and Lee Marton and Clayton Blackmore. That is the sort | :20:50. | :20:54. | |
of bulk of the team that will be coming. So with the big names ready | :20:54. | :20:58. | |
to help out, all they need now is for fans to lend their support in | :20:58. | :21:02. | |
May. Before we go, thanks ever so much | :21:02. | :21:07. | |
for everybody who got in touch to let us know what you will be doing | :21:07. | :21:11. | |
on March 25th. David E mailed to say there will be a parrot family | :21:11. | :21:14. | |
fun run here in Plymouth and they're hoping that hundreds of | :21:14. | :21:17. | |
pirates will take part. You can run with the All Blacks at the rugby | :21:17. | :21:21. | |
club. Their Sport Relief and farmers will be having gorgeous | :21:21. | :21:27. | |
coastal views. And there will be miles in King-Smith, I three bridge | :21:27. | :21:33. | |
and a monkey mile in the loo. No idea what that is! Let us know what | :21:33. | :21:43. | |
:21:43. | :21:45. | ||
If you want any more information, Ben Sport Relief .com is the | :21:45. | :21:51. | |
website you need to log on to. Can you run a mile? I am not sure. | :21:51. | :22:01. | |
:22:01. | :22:03. | ||
Let's go! Good luck! Thank you expire morning! | :22:03. | :22:07. | |
Why didn't Natalie run after him? She needs to get into training! | :22:07. | :22:10. | |
It's a common problem for many small businesses in the south west. | :22:10. | :22:12. | |
When the summer season brings thousands of tourists, business is | :22:12. | :22:15. | |
good. But in the winter months, it is a struggle to survive. | :22:15. | :22:18. | |
That is the case for a family-owned bakery in Cornwall. The Chough | :22:18. | :22:21. | |
Bakery in Padstow needs help to survive. Alex Polizzi, otherwise | :22:21. | :22:24. | |
known as The Fixer in a new BBC programme, is tasked with trying to | :22:24. | :22:27. | |
show family businesses the way forward. David George has been | :22:28. | :22:35. | |
watching the programme and meeting the bakers. | :22:35. | :22:39. | |
Their Chough Bakery is in a prime position on Padstow harbour. The | :22:39. | :22:43. | |
family business, which has been here for 30 years, could do better. | :22:43. | :22:49. | |
More than 80% of their turnover is in the few short summer months. The | :22:49. | :22:54. | |
boss wants to be less hands on. That is what she says. The famously | :22:54. | :22:57. | |
Fredy Padstow, as the programme calls it, as more and more | :22:57. | :23:03. | |
competition. Around the corner, their hour three past the shops in | :23:03. | :23:11. | |
a row. Step forward television presenter, a hotelier, and bakery | :23:11. | :23:21. | |
:23:21. | :23:22. | ||
owner Alex. She is going to tell them what is wrong. My immediate | :23:22. | :23:26. | |
impression they is that it does not make you want to charge in and buy | :23:26. | :23:33. | |
you a Cornish pasty, despite the location been immaculate. You don't | :23:33. | :23:37. | |
stand back. That is what this programme has made us do. It has | :23:37. | :23:44. | |
made us have a look at what we're doing. It turns out the family have | :23:44. | :23:47. | |
not seen the programme and they do not know how they're going to be | :23:47. | :23:56. | |
presented. The reason why... You are trying to plan! I don't know if | :23:56. | :24:01. | |
I would recommend it to anyone. get to see it with everyone else! | :24:01. | :24:06. | |
Are you going to watch at tonight? I will sit at home with a very | :24:06. | :24:09. | |
large drink and sustain myself! I will keep my fingers crossed that | :24:09. | :24:14. | |
it will come out all right. should use both hands. You can see | :24:14. | :24:20. | |
the shop did end up with a facelift. The family say it is too soon to | :24:20. | :24:22. | |
tell if the makeover has put people in the queue. | :24:22. | :24:32. | |
:24:32. | :24:33. | ||
And you can watch with the family And now the weather. | :24:33. | :24:40. | |
It will be called tonight. Probably not quite as cold as last week, but | :24:40. | :24:45. | |
not far off. A widespread severe frost is coming in from the East | :24:45. | :24:49. | |
through the night. We wake up to quite a frosty start and some very | :24:49. | :24:53. | |
low temperatures. On the face of it, there seems to be a lot of cloud to | :24:53. | :24:57. | |
the west of Britain. Don't worry too much about that. That is not | :24:58. | :25:01. | |
where our air is coming from. It is coming from the East and that is | :25:01. | :25:05. | |
the easterly winds wrinkle their from the Low countries like | :25:05. | :25:10. | |
southern Scandinavia. It will travel right the way across us. By | :25:10. | :25:14. | |
the time we get to lunchtime tomorrow, a big drop in the | :25:14. | :25:18. | |
temperatures. That does not change very much by Thursday. Those | :25:18. | :25:21. | |
weather fronts to the west of us will come in through the day on | :25:21. | :25:26. | |
Friday. There is that satellite picture. There has been quite a lot | :25:26. | :25:30. | |
of high level cloud and the far west. Here are the weather | :25:30. | :25:35. | |
conditions on St Mary's from earlier today. Our cameraman was | :25:35. | :25:44. | |
out enjoying what is a splendid view of the blooms in the flour. | :25:44. | :25:47. | |
The Isles of Scilly always look brilliant when the weather is nice. | :25:47. | :25:53. | |
It will be colder here tomorrow as the easterly winds bring that to | :25:53. | :25:57. | |
call their across the island. There is patchy cloud around at the | :25:57. | :26:01. | |
moment. It will break up through the night and as that happens, we | :26:01. | :26:05. | |
start to bring in that colder air. It will come in from the East. Some | :26:05. | :26:10. | |
of the lowest temperatures will be across the East, possibly as low as | :26:10. | :26:15. | |
seven below freezing tonight. Widespread frost to greet us in the | :26:15. | :26:18. | |
morning and a cold day throughout the day tomorrow, with the best of | :26:18. | :26:21. | |
the sunshine across Cornwall. Further East, there is more in the | :26:21. | :26:27. | |
way of cloud. That overruns the low temperatures. They better equal day | :26:27. | :26:32. | |
for Somerset and Dorset. The mildest there will be in West | :26:32. | :26:37. | |
Cornwall, with the Six degrees. For the Isles of Scilly, we should see | :26:37. | :26:42. | |
some more sunshine. Fine and dry. He recalled feel with a south- | :26:42. | :26:48. | |
easterly winds. Just six degrees, the top temperature. Times of high | :26:48. | :26:58. | |
:26:58. | :26:59. | ||
water. For our surfer's, there is some usable, decent surf. Some good | :26:59. | :27:09. | |
