:00:30. > :00:45.and services in the Channel Islands compared to the UK is growing,

:00:52. > :00:57.is more expensive by around fifty pence per pint of beer and twenty

:01:02. > :01:04.meat is sixteen percent more expensive and milk costs around

:01:14. > :01:15.in the cost of fruit and vegetables We are advised to eat five a day
:01:16. > :01:20.for a healthy lifestyle. But can we afford to,
:01:21. > :01:22.as eating fresh fruit and veg is more expensive
:01:23. > :01:34.in the Channel Islands than the UK? To be healthy you how to eat a lot
:01:35. > :01:39.of food but then on a pension, it is not always easy to afford it. I do
:01:40. > :01:44.find it quite expensive. Not just fruit and veg but all food. Every
:01:45. > :01:51.week I going it seems to go up all the time and it is a hard cost of
:01:52. > :01:53.living. Things are more expensive so you have just got to accept it,
:01:54. > :01:55.really. A price comparison survey revealed
:01:56. > :01:57.fruit costs 35 percent more in Jersey than the UK
:01:58. > :02:00.and vegetables are 44 percent more. Guernsey prices were slightly

:04:57. > :05:00.difficult. We have able to generate 3`D pictures of the sea bed to try

:06:51. > :06:53.They enjoy coming here and I know when defence cuts have been
:06:54. > :06:57.mentioned and they have had a number of displays reduced over the years
:06:58. > :06:59.they decide where they want to go and we are either number one or

:08:27. > :08:40.Channel Islands favourites still have many more crowds to thrill.
:08:41. > :08:48.Some great shots there. We will have more on the air display later in the
:08:49. > :08:53.programme. It looks like cracking flying conditions there. What does
:08:54. > :09:00.the weather have in store? No change in the weather pattern. We may see a
:09:01. > :09:05.bit more in the way of cloud. Still dry. Easterly breeze. That really
:09:06. > :09:08.isn't the only thing to worry about. Patchy cloud and sunny spells
:09:09. > :09:16.tomorrow and still warmer temperatures. Back up to 90 degrees
:09:17. > :09:18.or possibly 20 degrees. On big picture we mentioned this area of
:09:19. > :09:22.low pressure. It will eventually move a little bit closer to us but
:09:23. > :09:26.it is a long way off at the moment. The threat of showers perhaps on
:09:27. > :09:31.Monday. A light shower tanning up perhaps in the afternoon but the
:09:32. > :09:36.low`pressure is slowly moving northwards and a little bit further
:09:37. > :09:42.eastwards. But it is slow. High pressure still well and truly in
:09:43. > :09:45.charge for the weekend ahead. The detail on that: Some cloud will
:09:46. > :09:53.arrive towards the end of the night but it is a lovely evening.
:09:54. > :09:55.Overnight averages dipping down to 13 degrees. Tomorrow morning there
:09:56. > :09:58.will be some cloud around for the first few hours of the day and
:09:59. > :10:03.perhaps around the middle of the morning this line of cloud will come
:10:04. > :10:06.through. It will break up quite readily and the sunshine will be off
:10:07. > :10:14.and on in the morning and then back out in the afternoon. Temperatures
:10:15. > :10:20.17 degrees or 90 degrees. Possibly even 20 degrees again. Coastal
:10:21. > :10:31.waters forecast: Fair with generally moderate or good this ability
:10:32. > :10:42.because of the haze. High water at 938 AM. Very little in the way of a
:10:43. > :10:47.wave at the moment. The forecast for the weekend is more cloud. I think
:10:48. > :10:52.the better of the two days will be Saturday with sunny spells and just
:10:53. > :10:55.a bit of patchy cloud around. Generally more cloud around on
:10:56. > :10:59.Sunday but it will not stop the temperatures. They want is still
:11:00. > :11:05.there. 21 degrees or possibly 22 degrees. I mentioned the possibility
:11:06. > :11:09.on Monday towards the end of the day be sure showers turning up. There is
:11:10. > :11:13.a lot of uncertainty about that and a more definite change to more
:11:14. > :11:18.settled conditions towards the end of next week. Have a good evening.
:11:19. > :11:22.Thanks Ray much. It looks like the sunny weather is set to continue.
:11:23. > :11:24.That's it from me, I'll be back at 8:00pm
:11:25. > :11:28.But for now I'll leave you with some of the highlights
:11:29. > :12:21.involved and it gives them inspiration for the future to see
:12:22. > :12:23.people like this here. Another Tour of Britain cycle race and another
:12:24. > :12:27.triumph for the Devon stage. You're watching Spotlight tonight

:13:06. > :13:07.outside investors. Briony Leyland looks at how that's
:13:08. > :13:22.going down at the water's edge. Vera has had a 20 year love affair
:13:23. > :13:26.with these chalets. The piece, the sunshine when it shines, the wind
:13:27. > :13:31.when it howls, the rain, and just sitting and listening to the sea. It
:13:32. > :13:38.is just so calming and I just love it. There were pays ?1000 a year to
:13:39. > :13:44.the council in rent but there is trouble in paradise. The council

:15:57. > :16:05.fields are still ringing with the sounds of youngsters. A beautiful
:16:06. > :16:11.stained`glass window. To celebrate the centenary the headteacher has a
:16:12. > :16:16.special visitor. It gives me goose bumps to think my mother worshipped
:16:17. > :16:19.in this room 100 years ago. Penny has travelled thousands of miles to
:16:20. > :16:24.visit the place where her mother was at school. It all began with some
:16:25. > :16:28.pamphlets tucked away in her mother's desk. I did not know she
:16:29. > :16:33.had them but I have read them and I found out things about her I did not
:16:34. > :16:38.know before such as, I knew that she had gone here to school, but what I
:16:39. > :16:41.did not know was that she was Belgian and her father was a career
:16:42. > :16:46.knew what Ash back he knew that war knew what Ash back he knew that war
:16:47. > :16:52.was coming so he sent his wife and family to England. He wanted them to
:16:53. > :16:57.be safe and they were and he survived the war. In fact, her
:16:58. > :17:05.mother was one of four refugees in mother was one of four refugees in
:17:06. > :17:15.need of an education, the school's very first pupils. My mother had
:17:16. > :17:19.these magazines. She left them in her desk and I found that after she
:17:20. > :17:29.died. I read through them looking for her but I saw you and you are
:17:30. > :17:32.all through there. Gosh! You won the tennis tournament and the badminton
:17:33. > :17:37.tournament, and you were quite a sports woman! I enjoyed it in those
:17:38. > :17:43.days! At the age of 99 this is a real old girl of the school. For
:17:44. > :17:46.Penny this meeting provides another link to her mother's passed and she

:18:32. > :18:40.The theme from the 1981 film Excalibur. In this workshop Terry
:18:41. > :18:44.made many suits of armour for the actors as well making extra costumes
:18:45. > :18:48.such as this breastplate for Helen Mirren. I said this would be much
:18:49. > :18:52.easier if I could draw this on your body with an eyebrow pencil and I
:18:53. > :18:55.was joking and she stripped off and said she would do it. We drew on the
:18:56. > :18:59.body with an eyebrow pencil and carefully measured everything and
:19:00. > :19:08.that was how it came about. Did it fit? It fitted perfectly. Yes. He
:19:09. > :19:15.has made armour and weapons for over 100 films including Harry Potter
:19:16. > :19:20.films and Aliens and Gladiator. What is it like dealing with those guys.
:19:21. > :19:25.Russell Crowe has a reputation for being grumpy. He is a really nice
:19:26. > :19:30.chap. This house is one of the most fascinating homes I have ever been
:19:31. > :19:37.in. Every room is stuffed full of boys toys and film memorabilia. This
:19:38. > :19:42.is from Excalibur. Just take a look at there. They are from Aliens and
:19:43. > :19:46.the man in the iron mask. Some of this collection will go into a
:19:47. > :19:51.massive auction of film memorabilia next month. The larger version of
:19:52. > :19:59.this will be sold in the auction next month. The only difference is
:20:00. > :20:04.that it is bigger and it has spikes. That is currently at an exhibition
:20:05. > :20:09.in London before the auction. Terry is 70 years old but has no thoughts
:20:10. > :20:12.of retiring. As well as film and hiring out his equipment he has sold
:20:13. > :20:19.armour to the Tower of London and he readily takes part in fairy
:20:20. > :20:26.festivals. He is off now to a big one in the Netherlands!
:20:27. > :20:33.They will turn a few heads driving in that! A remarkable man indeed.
:20:34. > :20:37.Teachers at one school in Devon can hardly believe their eyes after the
:20:38. > :20:45.school welcomed six sets of twins. It must be some kind of record. The
:20:46. > :20:48.12 new pupils have all started at the same school in Plymouth and we
:20:49. > :20:49.have been finding out how the teaching staff will cope with all of
:20:50. > :20:57.the confusion. Look closely, there is a dragon in
:20:58. > :21:02.the room and a tiger in this class. There is also Zachery and Finlay.
:21:03. > :21:07.You have guessed it, twins. There are six pairs of twins at this
:21:08. > :21:12.primary school starting their reception week. I have been in
:21:13. > :21:16.teaching for over 20 years under headteacher for ten years and I have
:21:17. > :21:20.never known anything like this. I have had a twins before in year
:21:21. > :21:25.groups but normally one or maybe two sets but to have six altogether is
:21:26. > :21:28.incredible. I have never known anything like it. Who would have
:21:29. > :21:35.thought that the two times table would be difficult for a table? Its
:21:36. > :21:38.policy is to suggest separating the twins into different classes. One
:21:39. > :21:42.set of parents were very keen for them to stay together so we said
:21:43. > :21:46.that was OK but generally speaking we like to keep them apart so they
:21:47. > :21:50.can grow as individuals. As twins they tend to stick together and form
:21:51. > :21:55.quite close unit together and sometimes that is at the exclusion
:21:56. > :21:59.of making other friendships. Not too much double trouble. Parents are
:22:00. > :22:07.pleased there are a dozen twins in the same year. I think they are all
:22:08. > :22:10.starting to realise that there are other twins so they are starting to
:22:11. > :22:13.recognise and socialise with them a little bit more which is very good
:22:14. > :22:17.as well. You are in different classes. How does it feels? Weird.
:22:18. > :22:27.Weird. What do you like best about school? Dinosaurs. We have fun with
:22:28. > :22:32.Lego. We asked for the school to separate them because they fight
:22:33. > :22:39.each other. They always fight each other and cause trouble! So far they
:22:40. > :22:42.are probably better. According to the multiple births foundation the
:22:43. > :22:47.number of twins has increased over the years, probably due to fertility
:22:48. > :22:52.treatment. Presently around one in 80 berths in the UK are naturally
:22:53. > :22:56.multiple compared to one in five after IVF treatment. Maybe the
:22:57. > :22:57.school had an idea they would have this many twins because already
:22:58. > :23:13.there is a game for them to play. He is doing well to keep them apart.
:23:14. > :23:18.Aren't they lovely! Imagine having to view!
:23:19. > :23:23.One is quite enough. It is time for the weather now. It seems cooler
:23:24. > :23:25.today. It is slightly, but that is the only difference.
:23:26. > :23:30.I have had a few enquiries today about when it will rain. I cannot
:23:31. > :23:33.see it happening at the minute. There will be a change next week and
:23:34. > :23:37.it is a question of how quickly that happens. I will give you in later in
:23:38. > :23:42.the broadcast about that. We have had a lovely day. More clout
:23:43. > :23:46.but just that bit cooler because of it. Tomorrow the sunshine will be
:23:47. > :23:50.back out. It is cloudy at times and Sunny spells with easterly wind
:23:51. > :24:11.continuing. They do not bring a lot in terms of wet weather so it

:24:16. > :24:18.high over southern Scandinavia. We are getting easterly winds and that
:24:19. > :24:20.does not change very much over the next few days. This is the forecast

:24:43. > :24:46.been quite as strong. Overnight tonight missed is forming and patchy
:24:47. > :24:51.cloud returning. It is still drive and by the morning we wake up to
:24:52. > :24:53.some sunny spells. More clout in general in the sky compared to what
:24:54. > :25:10.we have seen in the last few days. We will see a bit more cloud
:25:11. > :25:14.floating by tomorrow. The best of the sunshine will be on the north
:25:15. > :25:18.coast of Cornwall and the northern parts of Devon. Let us go to the
:25:19. > :25:22.north coast of Cornwall today where we had some beautiful weather. I
:25:23. > :25:32.cameraman got a glimpse of the sand and also of the surf. There is very
:25:33. > :25:32.surfers have been a bit disappointed surfers have been a
:25:33. > :25:40.in the past few days because their in the past few days because their
:25:41. > :25:44.eyes hardly a wave at all. It is hard to imagine we are
:25:45. > :25:48.actually still in September. Temperatures tomorrow will be very
:25:49. > :25:53.similar to today. After the cloudy start we will brighten up in the
:25:54. > :25:56.sunshine will work through and we will get back up to 19 degrees. The
:25:57. > :26:00.wind will be from the east and strongest along the south coast of
:26:01. > :26:03.Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. This is the forecast for the Isles
:26:04. > :26:07.of Scilly tomorrow. Some sunny spells and fine and right with
:26:08. > :26:10.sunshine. Becky Morgan from the East South waste just making it feel cool
:26:11. > :26:19.if you are right on the coast. There are our times of high water.
:26:20. > :26:27.I do not know why I bother to show the surfing forecast because there
:26:28. > :26:28.is not a great deal of surf! That continues over the next couple of
:26:29. > :26:42.days. I suggested I would give you a hint
:26:43. > :26:46.of what happens next week so let us weep ashlar leap forward and go
:26:47. > :26:50.right ahead to Tuesday next week. Look. It is the same area of low
:26:51. > :26:54.pressure and effectively high pressure over Scandinavia but it is
:26:55. > :26:58.much weaker. This area of low pressure is just extending a little
:26:59. > :27:01.bit towards southern Britain so perhaps by the middle of next week
:27:02. > :27:06.we could start to see a few showers but until then it is fine and dry
:27:07. > :27:09.and again we will see some sunny spells but more cloud as we head
:27:10. > :27:12.into the weekend. The better of the two days of the weekend will be
:27:13. > :27:17.Saturday with sunshine here and patchy cloud floating by. Sunday
:27:18. > :27:20.morn `` Sunday and Monday are still warm with the same easterly winds
:27:21. > :27:29.but a lot of cloud around so perhaps not quite as sunny as it has been.
:27:30. > :27:33.That is all from me. Enjoy the evening.
:27:34. > :27:37.Thank you. The weather has been consistently good so we will have
:27:38. > :27:40.that. There is more in the News at ten we are back tomorrow at 6:30pm.
:27:41. > :27:47.Have a lovely. Goodbye.
