The hidden epidemic? Concerns grow that islanders with eating disorders | :00:11. | :00:24. | |
AREN'T seeking help. Anorexia has the highest mortality rates which is | :00:25. | :00:28. | |
why it is so serious. Also tonight: A mother and daughter | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
are jailed for trying to smuggle drugs into Guernsey. | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
And relive rationing as a new exhibition shows what home life was | :00:36. | :00:37. | |
really like during the Occupation. Work's underway to look at how to | :00:38. | :00:54. | |
improve services for adults in the Channel Islands who suffer from | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
eating disorders. Guernsey's Health and Social Services department wants | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
anyone who's received treatment to come forward to share their | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
experiences. In the UK, figures show the number of people with eating | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
disorders has gone up by 15% since 2000, a trend which is likely to be | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
mirrored here. Eating disorders have the highest mortality rate of any | :01:14. | :01:17. | |
mental illness and 20% of the estimated 1.6 million who suffer in | :01:18. | :01:24. | |
the UK may die prematurely. Penny Elderfield met an islander who's | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
beaten her illness and now wants to help others. | :01:28. | :01:39. | |
I am doing a sponsored skydive. A challenge in itself. For Jazz | :01:40. | :01:45. | |
this was a big part of her own challenge to overcome an eating | :01:46. | :01:52. | |
disorder. I wasn't thinking so much. It happens so fast, and | :01:53. | :02:02. | |
suddenly, we were falling 120 mph. I had been trying to raise awareness | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
for so long, it was a big thing for me. Raising awareness and money for | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
a charity that's helped her over the last few years. Diagnosed with | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
anorexia several years ago, she ended up in hospital. I had people | :02:15. | :02:21. | |
telling me I had a month to live and I was being force`fed through a | :02:22. | :02:27. | |
cheap. At the time, I didn't think I was ill, so looking backwards, I was | :02:28. | :02:36. | |
probably very ill and near death. Anorexia has the highest mortality | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
rate of all mental illnesses which is why it is so serious. Now, I can | :02:41. | :02:47. | |
look back and say, thankfully, I didn't suffer as long as other | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
people and want to use my experience to help others, which is why I want | :02:51. | :02:56. | |
to study psychology. Like other adults with eating disorders, Jazz | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
also comes here for ongoing support but work's now started to look at | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
how to improve that service, initially by talking to people about | :03:03. | :03:05. | |
their experiences. I would like to hear from people who have had | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
experience with eating disorders. And possibly in the UK. Just come | :03:10. | :03:15. | |
along and chat, tell me what they think about the treatment they | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
received, good and bad, so that we can shape our services. For Jazz, | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
though, the focus now is getting to university, so it's on with the hard | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
work, that is, now she's back on firm ground. | :03:29. | :03:38. | |
A mother and daughter from the UK have been sentenced to four years in | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
prison after being caught smuggling drugs into Guernsey. The pair were | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
sentenced at the Royal Court yesterday. Mike Wilkins reports | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
It was under the guise of a family camping trip that 50`year`old | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
Annette Cronshey and her 29`year`old pregnant daughter Danielle Lucas | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
were caught red`handed. They were travelling with a juvenile when they | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
were stopped disembarking the Weymouth ferry at the end of August. | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
Customs officers became suspicious and arrested them. The women were | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
found to be internally concealing a package of drugs each. They mostly | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
contained Flephedrone, a Class B drug similar to Mephedrone, its | :04:11. | :04:17. | |
street value almost ?20,000. The Guernsey Border Agency says the fact | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
that one of the women was heavily pregnant and accompanied by a minor | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
meant it was a very difficult case to deal with. We had a pregnant | :04:25. | :04:33. | |
female to deal with, who was internally concealing drugs, which | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
is a difficult and emotive subject for the officers involved. In the | :04:38. | :04:40. | |
Royal Court, Judge Russell Finch sentenced them both to four years in | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
prison to run from the date of their arrest. | :04:45. | :04:46. | |
Nominations have opened to elect a new Chief Minister for Guernsey It | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
follows the resignation of Deputy Peter Harwood. The first official | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
nomination for the post was received by the bailiff's office this | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
afternoon by the Social Security Minister, Allister Langlois. | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
The number of girls under 18 getting pregnant in Jersey has fallen. The | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
Medical Officer for Health says the rate has dropped to 7.5 pregnancies | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
per 1000 girls in that age group, which is lower than England and | :05:09. | :05:17. | |
Wales. Now, all this week on the BBC, we're | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
running our World War One at Home series, looking at how the Channel | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
Islands were affected by the First world War. Tonight, Edward Sault | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
reports on the remarkable short`hand diary which tells the story of war | :05:29. | :05:29. | |
from a woman's perspective. Today, there was a large meeting. I | :05:30. | :05:49. | |
hope there was. These journals give an insight into the experience of | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
the First World War from a woman's perspective living in Jersey. They | :05:55. | :06:01. | |
are all written in shorthand. She starts off quite gung ho and | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
positive towards war, but as you continue Reading, the horror of war | :06:07. | :06:12. | |
becomes apparent. The weather, very dull. We all felt anxious about the | :06:13. | :06:18. | |
militia go to the front. She lived in this house. Although her diary | :06:19. | :06:24. | |
entries were transcribed into English, the diaries are not | :06:25. | :06:31. | |
complete. It's a shame we don't have the end because even a throwaway | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
sentence makes you feel as if she's going back and looking over the | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
whole of that period. It's easy to go back and say, it wasn't a lovely | :06:41. | :06:47. | |
War a Christian, she would have had some difficulty coming to terms with | :06:48. | :06:53. | |
the idea of killing anyway. She was a deeply Methodist lady and even her | :06:54. | :07:00. | |
conscience would have troubled her. The weather, very fine. Today we had | :07:01. | :07:08. | |
the sad news of Charles's death Sometimes, it's useful to have not | :07:09. | :07:16. | |
only a woman's perspective, but a woman who was sheltered from the | :07:17. | :07:22. | |
reality. She died in 1979 but through this journal, the memories | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
of war will live on. From the First World War to the | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
Second World War, rationing was a part of everyday life during the | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
Occupation here in the Channel Islands, and as part of Jersey's War | :07:34. | :07:36. | |
Tunnels new exhibition, visitors can step inside a wartime house for the | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
first time. Emma Chambers reports on why the house means so much to those | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
behind it. A real`life story about rationing | :07:44. | :07:55. | |
from a housewife during the Occupation now set in a traditional | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
country house. This is the new exhibition at the Jersey War | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
Tunnels. They've made a 1940s house to display previously unseen | :08:04. | :08:13. | |
artifacts from the war. This is a fully stocked Lada which would have | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
not been fully stocked during the occupation, but when the SS arrived, | :08:18. | :08:23. | |
many of these items would have arrived in Red Cross parcels. They | :08:24. | :08:28. | |
were in our collections and we decided to bring out for the public | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
to see. The house not only shows you what people used but also what the | :08:33. | :08:35. | |
families had to do. This boy tells the story of hiding a pork joint | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
from the German soldiers. My father put the joints of meat inside my | :08:40. | :08:47. | |
sister's pram. To make the display authentic, Kathy and her team have | :08:48. | :08:54. | |
added a personal touch. The wedding day is my grandparents in 1936, so | :08:55. | :09:04. | |
it adds that family touch. Somebody's mother`in`law's brass | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
jugs were also donated. It adds that human touch. The revamped display | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
revives the stories of those in the Occupation just in time for the | :09:13. | :09:19. | |
first visitors this weekend. Time for the weather now and there's | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
more wintery, stormy weather on the way for the weekend. Condor has | :09:23. | :09:25. | |
cancelled its fast ferries tomorrow already. | :09:26. | :09:37. | |
We are expecting to see the strength of wind increase. Rain in the | :09:38. | :09:43. | |
forecast is well and tomorrow will be a cold day. A raw and strong | :09:44. | :09:51. | |
wind. We have a warning about the strength of wind. The strongest gust | :09:52. | :09:57. | |
of wind sure that there is a possibility you are seeing gusts of | :09:58. | :10:03. | |
60`70 mph. The wind direction will be a West then north westerly | :10:04. | :10:10. | |
direction. What is happening is we have had the rain last night which | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
has moved into France and another clump of cloud is a developing area | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
of low pressure. This is a small area but quite powerful. As it | :10:21. | :10:24. | |
develops, it moves down across the north coast of France. It is moving | :10:25. | :10:30. | |
steadily, and by the end of the day, it would have gone. And then, a | :10:31. | :10:38. | |
weather system means a dreary day. A few showers around initially, then | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
the more persistent rain. That will sweep through pretty fast. Tomorrow | :10:43. | :10:47. | |
morning, they will become north`westerly. The isolated gust to | :10:48. | :10:58. | |
70 mph. Showers in the afternoon. Not very warm tomorrow. Eight | :10:59. | :11:18. | |
degrees the highest temperature The wind whipping up the waves. Much | :11:19. | :11:28. | |
quieter on Saturday. A brightly on Sunday. More showers and breezy | :11:29. | :11:30. | |
again on Monday. the cost of pumping water of flooded | :11:31. | :11:41. | |
areas like the Somerset Levels. 100 years ago, the outbreak of the | :11:42. | :11:44. | |
First World War changed lives right across the South West. Walter Yeo | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
was a sailor from Plymouth who suffered horrific facial injuries. | :11:49. | :11:51. | |
The pioneering treatment he received from the eminent surgeon, Harold | :11:52. | :11:54. | |
Gillies, had a major impact on Walter's life and on the techniques | :11:55. | :11:57. | |
used in reconstructive surgery for decades. | :11:58. | :12:04. | |
Walter Yeo was almost destined for a career in the Royal Navy. He was | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
born in the Devonport area of Plymouth. His mother worked in the | :12:09. | :12:11. | |
victualling yard, and his father served in the Royal Navy for 15 | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
years. He died when his ship was wrecked off the Spanish coast in | :12:16. | :12:19. | |
1890, just three weeks after Walter was born. Walter's own career in the | :12:20. | :12:25. | |
Royal Navy ended in dramatic fashion during a battle. On the 31st of May, | :12:26. | :12:32. | |
1916, he was wounded while manning guns aboard HMS Warspite. He | :12:33. | :12:37. | |
suffered horrific facial injuries from exploding cordite. He underwent | :12:38. | :12:41. | |
intensive reconstructive surgery by an imminent surgeon of the day, Sir | :12:42. | :12:49. | |
Harold Gillies. Walter's case file is held in the archive here at the | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
Royal College of Surgeons. Talk us through how horrific Walter's | :12:54. | :12:58. | |
injuries were. This injury resulted in a loss of most of his upper face, | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
so Gillies was trying to recreate this so that this man could re`enter | :13:03. | :13:11. | |
society. So for its time, this is pioneering? Absolutely. He designed | :13:12. | :13:17. | |
this, and said, "OK, I want to reconstruct this area here with | :13:18. | :13:21. | |
skin." He's lifted it off the neck, and he's taken it down onto the | :13:22. | :13:26. | |
upper chest. He has left it there for several weeks until it's | :13:27. | :13:32. | |
survived. Then he turned that up and made that flat across here. After a | :13:33. | :13:39. | |
period of months, he checked blood supply was coming from the area. We | :13:40. | :13:46. | |
have the dates here, and this shows this operation was done over a | :13:47. | :13:49. | |
number of months going into years. He has done a dramatically good job. | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
We start off in 1917, and by 1919, he has got eyebrows, he has a much | :13:55. | :14:03. | |
more normal looking face. But it has taken a series of operations. And | :14:04. | :14:08. | |
although such reconstructive work nowadays would be done in a single | :14:09. | :14:11. | |
procedure, all those operations to rebuild Walter's face continued to | :14:12. | :14:14. | |
be an inspiration to modern`day surgeons. They are also an | :14:15. | :14:22. | |
inspiration to this artist. It represents a unique period in social | :14:23. | :14:26. | |
history, and the people that treated these guys. His mannequin, dressed | :14:27. | :14:32. | |
in naval fabrics of the time, illustrates Walter's accident and | :14:33. | :14:39. | |
his recovery. In terms of patient injuries today, exactly the same | :14:40. | :14:43. | |
thing is happening now as it did then with the advance of medical | :14:44. | :14:49. | |
technology. Guys are surviving more and more horrific and life`changing | :14:50. | :14:56. | |
facial injuries. The more they survive these, the more surgeries | :14:57. | :14:59. | |
have developed to get these people into a state where they can live and | :15:00. | :15:07. | |
function as fully as possible. Many soldiers, though, struggled to | :15:08. | :15:10. | |
return to anything like the normal way of life. But Walter seemed to | :15:11. | :15:15. | |
cope well. Walter's story is interesting because despite being | :15:16. | :15:17. | |
severely disfigured, and even after the operations, he remained severely | :15:18. | :15:21. | |
disfigured, and yet he came back and continued with his life and had | :15:22. | :15:29. | |
another child with his wife. You can see his workplace behind us. His | :15:30. | :15:36. | |
reintegration was quite significant. He seems to have coped well with | :15:37. | :15:41. | |
what happened to him. What do you make of the fact that Walter came | :15:42. | :15:45. | |
back with those facial injuries to such a high profile role as a | :15:46. | :15:48. | |
publican? It is rather surprising, really, because you might expect | :15:49. | :15:51. | |
somebody who suffers from facial disfigurement to hide or maybe not | :15:52. | :15:55. | |
want to be too visible, so I think Walter's decision was quite brave. | :15:56. | :16:03. | |
What do you think Walter's story tells us about not only his | :16:04. | :16:07. | |
personality, but about his family? I think his family was probably | :16:08. | :16:10. | |
accepting, which is something really encouraging, and valuable for these | :16:11. | :16:19. | |
men who returned from the front. In Walter's case, maybe this wasn't the | :16:20. | :16:23. | |
life he was planning for beforehand, but he still had a normal life, | :16:24. | :16:26. | |
which is more than what many disfigured soldiers had. Walter Yeo | :16:27. | :16:38. | |
died in Plymouth in 1960. He was born into an ordinary family. In the | :16:39. | :16:42. | |
Great War, he suffered extraordinary injuries. But to his credit, and to | :16:43. | :16:46. | |
that of his family, he returned to live an ordinary life in his home | :16:47. | :16:53. | |
city. Tomorrow, we'll be finding out how a | :16:54. | :16:57. | |
nurse from Exeter risked her own life to help save wounded soldiers | :16:58. | :17:00. | |
on the front line in Belgium. If you'd like to find out more about | :17:01. | :17:04. | |
World War One At Home, a partnership between the BBC and Imperial War | :17:05. | :17:06. | |
Museums, go to bbc.co.uk/ww1. And there'll be more on your BBC | :17:07. | :17:13. | |
local radio station at 8:15 tomorrow morning. | :17:14. | :17:17. | |
A man who spearheaded the rescue effort in a storm`hit Cornish | :17:18. | :17:21. | |
coastal community says he can't believe no`one was killed. George | :17:22. | :17:24. | |
Trubody risked his life to help people flee the storms, which | :17:25. | :17:27. | |
smashed windows and flooded homes in Kingsand and Cawsand. Grabbing a few | :17:28. | :17:32. | |
hours sleep when he could, George co`ordinated the emergency response. | :17:33. | :17:36. | |
He's the second in our series, 'Heroes of the Storm', as John | :17:37. | :17:42. | |
Henderson reports. In the midst of the perfect storms | :17:43. | :17:45. | |
that hit Kingsand and Cawsand, one man appears to have stood out and | :17:46. | :17:52. | |
stood calm. The storm water was halfway up the door, and I couldn't | :17:53. | :17:56. | |
get out to secure it from the outside. So I had my life jacket on | :17:57. | :18:00. | |
and in between waves, managed to brace myself in the doorway and then | :18:01. | :18:04. | |
work my way around a corner to put the shutters in place to stop them | :18:05. | :18:07. | |
flooding out. As waves pounded the villages, George Trubody was well | :18:08. | :18:11. | |
and truly in the thick of it. This is his footage from one storm. Oh, | :18:12. | :18:15. | |
my God! A week later, he was there during another pounding. Several | :18:16. | :18:18. | |
people have nominated the Cornwall councillor for a storm hero award. | :18:19. | :18:24. | |
Without George, it would have been even more terrifying, and I looked | :18:25. | :18:28. | |
out of the top window there, and I saw him running around with his life | :18:29. | :18:31. | |
jacket on, thankfully, and going around the corner, which is quite | :18:32. | :18:34. | |
tricky, and making sure that everybody was all right. George's | :18:35. | :18:41. | |
knowledge of the area was a huge help. Hello, Helen. How are you? | :18:42. | :18:47. | |
Alan Hudson's front room in Kingsand looks right out onto the sea. During | :18:48. | :18:51. | |
the peak of the storms, huge waves smashed windows, crashed onto the | :18:52. | :18:53. | |
roof, and threatened to overwhelm the house. When the message came | :18:54. | :18:58. | |
through to evacuate, George was there. I think he was really the ace | :18:59. | :19:03. | |
who saved us all. He really did far more than the call of duty. He was | :19:04. | :19:08. | |
here on duty when the waves were coming down. He has been nominated a | :19:09. | :19:14. | |
hero. You would obviously second that? Absolutely. Absolutely, yes. I | :19:15. | :19:21. | |
think he should get an OBE. LAUGHS. For the man himself, there was no | :19:22. | :19:26. | |
choice but to help others. I thought the ingredients were there for | :19:27. | :19:29. | |
someone to be seriously injured or killed. I've never seen anything | :19:30. | :19:33. | |
like it. It was terrifying. The adrenaline does kicks in, and all I | :19:34. | :19:36. | |
thought about was making sure people were safe, and get them out. He may | :19:37. | :19:42. | |
have met the top man, but all George cares about are the people who | :19:43. | :19:46. | |
survived the storm in his part of Cornwall. | :19:47. | :19:52. | |
So, who are your storm heroes? If there's someone you think we should | :19:53. | :19:55. | |
celebrate, then you can contact us by email at [email protected] or | :19:56. | :20:07. | |
on Facebook or Twitter. After all the grim stories, it is good to | :20:08. | :20:09. | |
feature some positive news. It's not often here at Spotlight | :20:10. | :20:12. | |
that we're credited with the role of music moguls ` but it seems we may | :20:13. | :20:16. | |
be responsible for shaping the careers of a young Cornish band. | :20:17. | :20:20. | |
You might remember back in July, we featured the group Blue Horyzon, | :20:21. | :20:21. | |
Here's a bit of them in action. UPBEAT MUSIC. | :20:22. | :20:33. | |
Well, following their appearance on Spotlight, Blue Horyzon have now won | :20:34. | :20:37. | |
a record deal. The band members Nathan, Sam, and Seb joined us | :20:38. | :20:40. | |
earlier ` with Vicky Daniel from Riverfish Music. | :20:41. | :20:45. | |
Things obviously really looking up for you since we last spoke. It | :20:46. | :20:48. | |
follows the appearance on Spotlight. Where we a lucky charm? | :20:49. | :20:53. | |
You like it was all down to you. Ever since then, things have started | :20:54. | :20:56. | |
looking up for us. We have more lax on Facebook. People are recognising | :20:57. | :21:05. | |
us more. Vicky and Riverfish, they saw us on Spotlight, and things have | :21:06. | :21:09. | |
been looking up since then. Tell us about what you have been doing since | :21:10. | :21:13. | |
we saw you in July in terms of your musical development. We have been | :21:14. | :21:19. | |
recording a lot of new songs. A sound has changed a lot from when we | :21:20. | :21:23. | |
did that just to incorporate the new songs. Hopefully we will record them | :21:24. | :21:29. | |
in the future. You have been busy with festivals. You are talking | :21:30. | :21:33. | |
about that. How important is to raise your profile the UK? It is | :21:34. | :21:40. | |
very important. The gig we played last year was in front of 3000 | :21:41. | :21:45. | |
people, and it was amazing. We had to do more stuff like that in | :21:46. | :21:55. | |
future. Fahma Mohamed `` Vicki, there is an element of truth in | :21:56. | :21:59. | |
that, isn't there? We saw them at in the programme, and because we live | :22:00. | :22:05. | |
in Penzance and they are regular buskers, we saw them quite a lot of | :22:06. | :22:09. | |
times, and my partner is a record producer and saw them and wanted to | :22:10. | :22:13. | |
work with them. He said there were good and wanted to record them one | :22:14. | :22:16. | |
day. And we didn't do anything about that, but we saw them on Spotlight, | :22:17. | :22:20. | |
check them out on the Internet, on their website, and called them in. | :22:21. | :22:28. | |
They came over to the studio, and they gave as a private gig. That is | :22:29. | :22:32. | |
it. What was it about this sounds that attracted you? I have to say | :22:33. | :22:39. | |
was much more my partner, who is a record producer and songwriter. He | :22:40. | :22:41. | |
absolutely loved the soul of what they did. We just love it, really. | :22:42. | :22:51. | |
You does can't help but instantly love it. It is a distinctive sound, | :22:52. | :22:57. | |
isn't it? When you see that going? That is a big question. But the | :22:58. | :23:05. | |
top. That's the right and sell. We will be taking a cut is, of | :23:06. | :23:15. | |
course, after our involvement. we wish you all the best. We will hear | :23:16. | :23:18. | |
from you at the end of the programme. Thank you for coming in | :23:19. | :23:23. | |
today. Great to see them doing so well. We | :23:24. | :23:29. | |
will be greedy, though. 20%. We are joking, of course. Time now for a | :23:30. | :23:30. | |
look at the weather. Good evening. It looks like we will | :23:31. | :23:41. | |
see a storm developing later on. It is mostly the Cornwall. By the end | :23:42. | :23:45. | |
of the night, it will be a windy affair. Tamara is a blustery and | :23:46. | :23:52. | |
windy day. It will be showers and sunshine reserves of the afternoon. | :23:53. | :23:56. | |
The morning is cloudy. There is a potential for the high ground of | :23:57. | :24:02. | |
seeing some snow. The more land could turn out to be witchery by the | :24:03. | :24:05. | |
end of the day tomorrow. At the moment, we have on the satellite | :24:06. | :24:10. | |
picture, the bands of rain moving away into Scandinavia. That was last | :24:11. | :24:16. | |
night's wet weather. This developing area of low pressure means we will | :24:17. | :24:21. | |
probably see storm`force winds, most likely from the far west of Cornwall | :24:22. | :24:25. | |
across to the Isles of Scilly. The receivers gusts of wind peaking at | :24:26. | :24:29. | |
around 70 mph briefly tomorrow morning before they ease through the | :24:30. | :24:34. | |
afternoon as the low pressure moves into northern France. By the time we | :24:35. | :24:37. | |
get to Saturday, there are a few isobars on the chart, so expect | :24:38. | :24:42. | |
Saturday to be quieter. Quite cloudy with patchy rain. When it comes in | :24:43. | :24:45. | |
tonight will be accompanied by strong winds, and for a short while | :24:46. | :24:49. | |
later in the night, some of that rain will turn into sleet and snow. | :24:50. | :24:53. | |
I have to stress, it is over the high ground, mostly Exmoor and | :24:54. | :24:58. | |
Dartmoor. The winds do pick up across the far west of Cornwall by | :24:59. | :25:03. | |
the end of the night. The shows we have seen today have been lively at | :25:04. | :25:06. | |
times, but now they have tended to fade away. There are isolated | :25:07. | :25:10. | |
showers left behind now, and overnight, to start with, there is | :25:11. | :25:14. | |
dry weather before that rain band turns up. This was earlier today, | :25:15. | :25:17. | |
where we managed to get some sunshine in between the showers. | :25:18. | :25:21. | |
Despite all of this wet weather and this windy weather, the spring rooms | :25:22. | :25:26. | |
are still struggling through. It seems daffodils don't take any | :25:27. | :25:30. | |
notice of the weather. They came up a bit later than they normally do, | :25:31. | :25:34. | |
but for many of our spring flowers, they are starting to show. That will | :25:35. | :25:39. | |
continue over the next week or so, because the weather remains | :25:40. | :25:42. | |
relatively unsettled, but nothing too dramatic with the temperatures. | :25:43. | :25:46. | |
Just out to the west of us, there is a line of rain. That will come out | :25:47. | :25:51. | |
later tonight. It is moving fast. Heavy bursts of rain possible. That | :25:52. | :25:55. | |
will be replaced by blustery showers in the second half of the night, and | :25:56. | :25:58. | |
there's gale`force winds. Overnight averages of a five degrees. | :25:59. | :26:03. | |
Tomorrow, the showery rain through the morning will gradually peter | :26:04. | :26:06. | |
out. It is much better in afternoon, and the potential over | :26:07. | :26:10. | |
the high ground across parts of Dorset and Somerset the sleet. By | :26:11. | :26:13. | |
the end of the day, temperatures getting up to seven or eight | :26:14. | :26:17. | |
degrees, but no higher. At least we will get some late sunshine. For the | :26:18. | :26:21. | |
Isles of Scilly, the strongest winds for a time with sunshine and showers | :26:22. | :26:26. | |
that much of the day tomorrow. If you're worried about the times of | :26:27. | :26:28. | |
high water, here big waves too. The post will be | :26:29. | :26:40. | |
messy. Up to ten feet because of that strength of wind. That is the | :26:41. | :26:45. | |
coastal waters forecast. The winds dropped to the day. Here are the | :26:46. | :26:53. | |
gale`force strengths. Quieter on Saturday, but cloudy with outbreaks | :26:54. | :26:56. | |
of rain and showers returning on Sunday. Have a good evening. | :26:57. | :27:02. | |
That is all from us this evening, but we will leave you tonight with a | :27:03. | :27:07. | |
little bit of music from Cornish band Blue Horyzon ` this is Broken | :27:08. | :27:09. | |
Bridges. # We will run away, runaway | :27:10. | :27:19. | |
