The two Wrens who visited us today, Eleanor and Pamela,

:05:22.:05:25.

both worked in the same section ` specialising in Norway.

One thing I always remember is one of them coming up to me,

:06:07.:06:14.

bending down, kneeling down, and kissing my boots.

:06:15.:06:18.

It must have brought tears to my eyes.

:06:19.:06:21.

This situation must never bd forgotten and this museum hdlps

:06:22.:06:24.

Princess Anne's visit marks the official opening of the museum

Good evening. Some very useable weather on offer this weekend in.

:07:30.:07:45.

Fact, most of September has been decent, and that's because our jet

:07:46.:07:48.

stream that drives our weather systems across the Atlantic has been

:07:49.:07:51.

driving them to the North West of the UK. So not much rain has made

:07:52.:07:57.

its way across our shores. By the same token, it's been quite warm,

:07:58.:08:02.

especially in the south. Little change to that pattern this weekend.
