:00:10. > :00:13.Good evening and welcome to BBC Points West. Our headlines tonight:
:00:13. > :00:19.Welcome home son, a mother sees her child for the first time in more
:00:19. > :00:23.than half a century. Heading for a penalty shoot out,
:00:23. > :00:25.the Bristol stadium plans face a new challenge today.
:00:25. > :00:30.Young property hunters in despair as affording a first house becomes
:00:30. > :00:33.impossible for thousands. And restored to health, the pony
:00:33. > :00:43.making a good recovery after the worst abuse ever seen at one
:00:43. > :00:44.
:00:44. > :00:50.Good evening. A woman from Somerset has been reunited with her son
:00:50. > :00:55.after more than 70 years apart. Madge Covey was a single mum when
:00:56. > :00:59.she decided to give him away for adoption. She then agreed that he
:00:59. > :01:01.could be sent to Australia, where she thought he would enjoy a better
:01:01. > :01:04.life. Mrs Covey is now 88 years old and
:01:05. > :01:11.had the surprise of her life when her son came knocking at her door.
:01:11. > :01:14.Clinton Rogers reports. Right now this is a family with
:01:14. > :01:24.every reason to celebrate - a reunion that's been more than seven
:01:24. > :01:25.
:01:25. > :01:28.decades in the making. Toast is to family! As a 17-year-old single mum
:01:28. > :01:32.in the 40s, Madge Covey had little choice but to put her baby into
:01:32. > :01:42.care. Now aged 88, she's come face to face with the son she thought
:01:42. > :01:45.
:01:45. > :01:52.she'd never see again. Just overwhelming. Awesome, that is your
:01:52. > :02:00.word. It was just unbelievable. What on earth was going to your
:02:00. > :02:04.mind? I don't know. My tears became the, I cried and cried. After ten
:02:04. > :02:09.years in a care home, Tony was one of many children in the 50s to be
:02:09. > :02:15.shipped to Australia, promised a better life. On 150 sunny acres,
:02:15. > :02:18.men are told -- thought to become so providing citizens of the
:02:18. > :02:21.Commonwealth. In reality, many were abused or neglected. It was a
:02:21. > :02:27.scandal which was eventually to bring a national apology from Prime
:02:27. > :02:34.Minister Gordon Brown. To each and every one, I say today that we are
:02:34. > :02:38.truly sorry. They were let down. ran away from home, hid under
:02:38. > :02:41.houses. Tony's life in Australia was so bad he eventually fled to
:02:41. > :02:48.New Zealand where he became a successful businessman. But he was
:02:48. > :02:56.desperate to find his real mum. Is there a sense that you have had
:02:56. > :03:03.to forgive your mother? No, I forgive her. I said, Look, you gave
:03:03. > :03:13.me a life. I found you and I want to spend time with you. How do you
:03:13. > :03:15.
:03:15. > :03:19.feel? I know now that I am not going to go not knowing. Here he is.
:03:19. > :03:28.Hello, hello, hello! So now Madge Covey has a bit of catching up to
:03:28. > :03:31.do with a long-lost son and a grandson she never knew she had.
:03:31. > :03:38.Wonderful to see them together. Bristol City's plans for a new
:03:38. > :03:41.stadium have received another setback. Opponents of the scheme
:03:41. > :03:43.have confirmed they want to take the matter to court which would
:03:43. > :03:46.mean delays to the �90 million scheme and could prevent the
:03:46. > :03:49.project going ahead at all. David Passmore has been following the
:03:49. > :03:52.story and joins us now. David, remind us quite how far down the
:03:52. > :03:55.road are we on this one? You may remember they already have
:03:55. > :03:58.planning permission for a 30,000- seater stadium on land at Ashton
:03:58. > :04:02.Vale. The supermarket Sainsbury's have also been granted planning
:04:02. > :04:06.permission for a new super store on the Ashton Gate site. But the third
:04:06. > :04:09.issue arose when opponents of the scheme applied for all the land to
:04:09. > :04:12.be designated a town green thus preventing development. A
:04:12. > :04:15.compromise appeared to have been reached when in June the council
:04:15. > :04:19.ruled that the stadium could be built on the northern part of the
:04:19. > :04:22.site while the southern half be divided between a town green and a
:04:22. > :04:25.wetlands area. But opponents say they are not happy with that and
:04:25. > :04:33.want the entire site a town green preventing any development at all,
:04:33. > :04:40.and want to take the matter to judicial review. So how long will
:04:40. > :04:43.this all take? The first stage is relatively quick. Opponents of the
:04:43. > :04:47.scheme will take the matter to a judge who will then decide whether
:04:47. > :04:50.there is a case to answer. If they say no then that could be it and
:04:50. > :04:54.the development would go ahead. But if there is a case to answer that
:04:54. > :04:57.would take much longer, several months at least. So it might not go
:04:57. > :05:04.ahead at all? That is a possibility - there's plenty of legal water to
:05:04. > :05:08.flow under the bridge before then. The club said today they were
:05:08. > :05:11.disappointed with the news but were determined to fight all the way.
:05:11. > :05:19.Those on the other side say they are not against a stadium, but any
:05:19. > :05:28.development on that green belt land. Lawyers will be working overtime on
:05:29. > :05:31.both sides of the argument. David, thank you very much.
:05:31. > :05:34.A foal which nearly died of starvation earlier this year has
:05:34. > :05:37.been nursed back to health by an animal charity near Bristol. When
:05:37. > :05:42.Buddy arrived at Horseworld in January, the charity said it was
:05:42. > :05:44.the worst case of neglect they'd ever seen. Alice Bouverie reports.
:05:45. > :05:52.These distressing pictures were filmed when Buddy first arrived at
:05:52. > :05:55.the rescue centre in Whitchurch. He was so weak he couldn't get up. He
:05:55. > :06:01.needed to be turned over every two hours because of his sores and he
:06:01. > :06:09.could barely stand by himself. He was rescued after a member of the
:06:09. > :06:14.public found him, along with some other horses, in their garden.
:06:14. > :06:19.on, a young man, let's see what you can do. But now look at him - eight
:06:19. > :06:23.months on, the transformation is incredible. To see him looking as
:06:23. > :06:27.well as he is, the difference is remarkable and unbelievable. If I
:06:27. > :06:32.had not have known this was him, I would not have believed it was this
:06:32. > :06:36.same course. He is doing so well that hopefully he will become some
:06:36. > :06:40.family's treasured possession one day. Buddy is now being taught
:06:40. > :06:45.basic skills like how to be led on a lead. And whatever happens to him,
:06:45. > :06:53.he'll always have a special place in people's hearts here. Hour
:06:53. > :06:57.veterinary surgeons told us that it was the worst case. Everybody likes
:06:57. > :07:00.a bad luck story that becomes a good love story and that is very
:07:00. > :07:04.much at what he is. His favourite pastimes now are eating, and
:07:04. > :07:07.frolicking around with the boys, a far cry from the dark days of
:07:07. > :07:14.January when Buddy's future looked far from bright.
:07:14. > :07:16.You're watching BBC Points West with Alex and David. Still to come:
:07:16. > :07:21.Flying high, the West Country pilots showcasing their aerial
:07:21. > :07:25.acrobatic skills to the rest of the world.
:07:25. > :07:35.And treated to a taste of table ice hockey, how Weston Pier today got a
:07:35. > :07:40.
:07:40. > :07:44.Experts in the West are warning fewer of us will be able to buy our
:07:44. > :07:48.own properties because of rising house prices and a shortage in new-
:07:48. > :07:51.build homes. It has also become more difficult to get a new
:07:51. > :07:57.mortgage. Liz Penney scours the property
:07:57. > :08:00.pages more in forlorn hope than expectation. She's 25 and renting a
:08:00. > :08:08.flat from her parents, but is anxious to get onto the property
:08:09. > :08:15.ladder but she doesn't think she'll reach that first rung anytime soon.
:08:15. > :08:20.I am saving. I see that will go on for at least another 10, 15 years
:08:20. > :08:26.because at the rate by can save and the bills that I have to pay, the
:08:26. > :08:30.outgoings, they do not levy. I will be saving for years. That will be
:08:30. > :08:33.before I can buy a. Liz is far from unique, and the organisation that
:08:33. > :08:40.represents Housing Associations says the picture is getting worse
:08:40. > :08:43.and is at crisis level. Part of the recent is the shortage of mortgage
:08:43. > :08:48.availability. Lenders are not willing to lend money to people
:08:48. > :08:51.that want to borrow. The builders will not build the homes as a
:08:51. > :08:53.result. The group says home ownership will hit a 30-year low.
:08:53. > :08:56.It's also predicting price increases well above the national
:08:56. > :09:02.average, from more than �212,000 now to above �265,000 in five
:09:02. > :09:05.years' time. Meanwhile, demand for social housing is high there are
:09:06. > :09:15.317,000 people on the waiting list here in the South West, so why
:09:16. > :09:16.
:09:16. > :09:19.aren't more homes being built? have seen a massive fall in the
:09:19. > :09:26.amount of mortgage lending availability. It has particularly
:09:26. > :09:30.hit first-time buyers. But there is a much more fundamental long-term
:09:30. > :09:34.problem going back perhaps two decades and that is the absence of
:09:34. > :09:39.sufficient number of planning permissions. It is very hard to get
:09:39. > :09:44.them due to local opposition. government says it is taking action
:09:44. > :09:47.to simplify planning and to make mortgages easier to afford. What
:09:47. > :09:52.will have an impact is keeping interest rates low and building
:09:52. > :09:56.more homes. Those are the twin tracks we are pursuing. We have
:09:56. > :10:01.always been told there is security in bricks and mortar, yet still for
:10:01. > :10:04.so many people that first step is the hardest.
:10:04. > :10:06.Thousands of people across the West are living in homes that
:10:06. > :10:09.desperately need improvement, but can't afford to meet the cost. Many
:10:09. > :10:15.homeowners simply don't have the money to improve their heating,
:10:15. > :10:18.insulation or plumbing. Now, one company which carries out
:10:18. > :10:22.much of its work free of charge, is facing cuts to its funding from
:10:22. > :10:27.Bristol City Council. James Hassam reports.
:10:27. > :10:32.Eunice Stuart's lived here since 1957. Nearly 80 years old, she
:10:32. > :10:40.struggles to get around. Now, she and her daughter are looking
:10:40. > :10:46.forward to some home improvements. As you can see, the cooker is quite
:10:46. > :10:49.low. Mum cannot get to the cooker because she has a bad hip. The
:10:50. > :10:53.kitchen covers on that up to standard. They are going to rip out
:10:53. > :10:58.the kitchen and start from scratch. And today, the workmen got to work.
:10:58. > :11:01.This is a big project, but they've had lots of practice. Last year,
:11:01. > :11:07.West of England Care and Repair carried out work on more than 8,000
:11:07. > :11:14.homes in Bristol alone. This refit's being provided for free to
:11:14. > :11:17.mark its 25th birthday. When Mrs Stuart returns to her home
:11:17. > :11:21.later this week, she'll find a new kitchen, a new bathroom and even a
:11:21. > :11:24.new garden with its own decked area. She's very lucky - in the future,
:11:24. > :11:34.because of spending cuts, many people like Mrs Stuart who need
:11:34. > :11:35.
:11:35. > :11:39.work like this doing, may have to meet the cost of it themselves.
:11:39. > :11:42.Looking at all the aspects of how she uses her house... The project's
:11:42. > :11:46.being headed up by this man. He told me cuts to council funding and
:11:46. > :11:50.subsidies will have an impact. of these sources of funding are
:11:50. > :11:54.getting squeezed. They are not going to increase so we have to
:11:54. > :11:57.find ways of stretching what we do further up with less money.
:11:58. > :12:01.doing that will make it harder to fund work like this. At the moment,
:12:01. > :12:04.many elderly and vulnerable people don't have to pay. Unless more
:12:04. > :12:14.funding is found, that could change, and makeovers like this one will
:12:14. > :12:16.
:12:16. > :12:22.Memorabilia from the BBC's medical drama Casualty raised more than
:12:22. > :12:25.�2,300 at auction last night. The show has been made in Bristol for
:12:25. > :12:28.25 years but now production is moving to Wales after the last
:12:28. > :12:31.episode was filmed earlier this month. The money raised will go
:12:31. > :12:40.towards a new echocardiogram for the Cardiac Ward at Bristol
:12:40. > :12:44.Children's Hospital. An animal charity in Somerset is
:12:44. > :12:47.making an urgent appeal for help as it has run out of food. The Secret
:12:47. > :12:51.Wildlife Rescue Centre in Burnham- on-Sea is struggling to feed its 35
:12:51. > :12:56.badgers and 50 hedgehogs. Staff say that since the recession people
:12:56. > :13:01.have donated less. The public is being urged to help either by
:13:01. > :13:03.giving money or tins of dog and cat food.
:13:03. > :13:09.A Bristol archaeologist has uncovered Britain's oldest example
:13:09. > :13:11.of rock art. It's been found in a cave in South Wales and is being
:13:11. > :13:13.scanned with laser and 3D technology to try to confirm its
:13:13. > :13:16.age. The picture, of a speared-reindeer
:13:16. > :13:24.on the Gower Peninsular, is believed to have been carved in the
:13:24. > :13:28.Ice Age. Will Glennon has been to see it.
:13:29. > :13:34.This is the cave on the Gower Peninsular where the cave art was
:13:34. > :13:40.found. The cave could be around 300,000 years old. The cave art is
:13:40. > :13:43.thought to be around 12,500 years old, making it the oldest art to be
:13:44. > :13:48.found in the UK. Let's have a word with the archaeologist who stumbled
:13:48. > :13:53.across it at the back of the cave on a field trip, Dr George Nash.
:13:53. > :13:58.How did you find it? I have been coming here for 20 years with
:13:58. > :14:02.students and in September 2010, I was with a club in Bristol and we
:14:02. > :14:11.were looking around, hoping to find something and then I went to the
:14:11. > :14:16.back of the cave with a light and there it was. Can you describe it?
:14:16. > :14:24.Yes. It is a carving made by a piece of flint. The artist would
:14:24. > :14:28.have used his or her right can't two-car fit. It measures around 17
:14:28. > :14:34.centimetres by 10 centimetres. It has all the attributes of a
:14:34. > :14:36.reindeer. What was your reaction when you found it? Ecstatic. It was
:14:37. > :14:42.a once-in-a-lifetime discovery. I don't think I will find anything
:14:42. > :14:47.like that again. How old did you think it was? I always had a
:14:47. > :14:51.thought it would be older than 10,000 BC. What gave the game away
:14:51. > :14:57.was that we are very fortunate to have a stalagmite flowing over part
:14:57. > :15:03.of the reindeer and that can be dated using uranium series dating.
:15:03. > :15:13.We took some samples, we had them analysed and a bad two months ago,
:15:13. > :15:14.
:15:14. > :15:21.we had the date of 12,000, 5072 years. -- 12,572 years. You are
:15:21. > :15:28.still working on it, doing a 3 D laser scan of the cave. It is part
:15:28. > :15:33.of a larger project. We are looking at IN the area of. Dr Nash, thank
:15:33. > :15:38.you very much. One of the reasons we cannot tell you the location of
:15:38. > :15:42.this cave is because there has been some vandalism already. In fact,
:15:42. > :15:47.the cave art itself was targeted. Scientists say they are not sure
:15:47. > :15:51.why these paintings, these ratings, have been made in the past. They
:15:51. > :15:56.are not just decorations because they were found in caves where
:15:56. > :16:05.humans were not known to living. A lot of work is still to be done.
:16:05. > :16:08.Football, and they may be struggling for results in the
:16:08. > :16:12.league, but tonight Swindon will hope to ruffle a few feathers in
:16:12. > :16:15.the cup. They're at home to Championship side Southampton in
:16:15. > :16:19.the second round of the Carling Cup. Alistair Durden is at the County
:16:19. > :16:22.Ground to see if they can cause another upset. What do you think,
:16:22. > :16:25.Ali? It's so hard to say with Swindon at
:16:25. > :16:29.the moment, just when you think they've cracked it, things go wrong
:16:29. > :16:35.again. They've lost four league games in a row, but within that
:16:35. > :16:37.time have also beaten Bristol City in this competition a week ago.
:16:37. > :16:40.That was an excellent performance from Paolo Di Canio's side last
:16:40. > :16:41.week at Ashton Gate, and earned week at Ashton Gate, and earned
:16:41. > :16:44.them this tie against another Championship side. The manager was
:16:44. > :16:53.enthusiastic about his side after that result, but then they lost on
:16:54. > :17:03.Saturday and he said they lacked desire. So things are still
:17:04. > :17:10.
:17:10. > :17:13.Let's talk to the Swindon Chairman Jeremy Wray. The cup is all well
:17:13. > :17:17.and good, but are you disappointed with the start in the league?
:17:17. > :17:21.knew it would not be easy in League Two, we are under no illusions
:17:21. > :17:25.about that. We have to adapt to the different style of football and we
:17:25. > :17:33.have not adapted as quickly as we had hoped, but the clock is -- the
:17:33. > :17:39.Cup is a nice diversion. Paolo place attractive football. You are
:17:39. > :17:43.prepared to be patient, have for how long? He has got a clear way of
:17:43. > :17:47.how he wants to play football and that is what we want to see. It is
:17:47. > :17:50.wrong for people to assume there is only one way to get out of League
:17:50. > :17:55.Two. We have got to adapt in certain ways, but we are all
:17:55. > :17:59.learning and I am very confident we will get there. He beat Bristol
:17:59. > :18:05.City and now there is another championship match tonight. Is this
:18:05. > :18:10.another step up? They have got off to a flying start. They have got a
:18:10. > :18:14.good side and now they will be at the top of their league. They have
:18:14. > :18:17.got to focus on the Premiership. Maybe we can catch them off guard.
:18:17. > :18:21.The winners get another home tie against Charlton or Preston, not
:18:21. > :18:23.glamorous but the chance perhaps to go deep into the draw? With any cup
:18:23. > :18:29.competition, you look at it. If you're not going to get man United
:18:29. > :18:31.or Arsenal away, then hopefully you have a chance of winning. --
:18:31. > :18:36.Manchester United. Maybe the advantage of being behind is that
:18:36. > :18:46.we can see who we will get next. Thank you for joining us. There are
:18:46. > :18:59.
:18:59. > :19:04.a couple of other matters to tell Results -- we will have both of
:19:04. > :19:07.those results at 10:25pm. Two pilots have just landed back
:19:07. > :19:09.home in the West Country having represented Britain in the
:19:09. > :19:12.Aerobatic World Championships. They took place in Slovakia and pilots
:19:12. > :19:15.from around the world were there to showcase their talent. David
:19:15. > :19:23.Thomson lives in Somerset and Paul Tomlinson lives in Gloucester and
:19:23. > :19:26.both of them are here with us tonight.
:19:27. > :19:32.Well come. Let's have a quick look at some of the pictures of that
:19:32. > :19:38.particular event. Are you crazy, that looks incredibly dangerous?!
:19:38. > :19:45.think we are a bit crazy. It is not as dangerous as it looks. We do
:19:45. > :19:49.lots of training so we know what we are doing. We take lots of safety
:19:49. > :19:55.precautions, but yes, it is a bit of a daredevil sport. You rehearse
:19:55. > :20:00.a lot, but this is not professional for you, is it? No we are amateurs.
:20:00. > :20:07.This is all our own money that we have put into it. A but you are up
:20:07. > :20:10.against professionals? Yes, we are forced up how do you rehearse?
:20:10. > :20:15.are given a flight sequence which we have to walk through and learn
:20:15. > :20:20.without having to look at a piece of paper. We do a little dance
:20:20. > :20:29.which takes us through the figures. We literally repeat it in the air
:20:29. > :20:35.for, stop when you watch on the air, it looks casual. When you are in

:20:39. > :20:45.just have to sit there and take it. You what only in the air for five
:20:45. > :20:53.minutes. Afterwards you just want to have a lie down! The you sleep
:20:53. > :20:56.as much the night before? We get very nervous and so we do not sleep.

:21:08. > :21:14.trying to reach that point of focus at the right time. It is dangerous,
:21:14. > :21:24.obviously. We have seen bad things happen to the Red Arrows. Howl

:21:25. > :21:27.risky is it? I think the risks are minimised. We are trained by it the
:21:27. > :21:32.British Aerobatic Association who have incredible safety measures.
:21:32. > :21:39.They have been very, very few accidents in these competitions. We
:21:39. > :21:44.believe that what we are doing isn't that risky. How do you afford
:21:44. > :21:53.it? If you have a flying lesson, it is expensive. During the time that
:21:53. > :21:58.you do it, it must cost a fortune. We do our own maintenance and try
:21:58. > :22:02.to save money that way. Well, have you got more competitions coming
:22:02. > :22:06.up.? We have got the world championships next year. We are not
:22:06. > :22:11.sure where they will be, that is yet to be announced, but we are
:22:11. > :22:15.training for that as a team. Let us know how you get on, good luck.
:22:15. > :22:18.Thank you for coming in! Be careful out there.

:22:21. > :22:25.enough games to keep your children occupied this summer holiday, we
:22:25. > :22:30.might just have the answer. The World Championships of table
:22:30. > :22:33.ice hockey are taking place in Weston super Mare. It's a board
:22:33. > :22:38.game played between two people which has around 15,000 followers
:22:38. > :22:48.across the globe. Around 100 of them made the trip to the West and

:22:51. > :22:55.Zoe Gough went to find out what it Everything is possible, that is,
:22:55. > :23:05.within the limits of a 50 centimetre wide ice hockey table.
:23:05. > :23:11.To play, you need a few Germans, and a bit of skin -- skill and
:23:11. > :23:16.guile. At the beginning, it was just a private thing with friends.
:23:16. > :23:21.We started the First World Championships in 1979 with a few
:23:21. > :23:29.local players and one or two at strangers. Nowadays, it is 15,000
:23:29. > :23:32.over the world. Today's event is the 33rd tournament and the first
:23:32. > :23:38.time in England. The current title- holder is making good early
:23:39. > :23:43.progress. TRANSLATION: I did not play very convincing in my first
:23:43. > :23:47.game today, but I hope I will make it to the finals and we will see
:23:47. > :23:54.whether I play the final on Friday night. The end then to has been

:24:07. > :24:11.know you are taking part in the world's championships? Are we?! It
:24:11. > :24:17.isn't the most exciting spectator sport, but once he had kicked off
:24:17. > :24:24.there is no stopping. After Germany, New Zealand and Greece, organisers
:24:24. > :24:29.hope Western is the next big convert.
:24:29. > :24:34.Zoe is there with the athletes! We can do that!
:24:34. > :24:44.I am not fit enough! Eon is he with the weather now. We
:24:44. > :24:50.saw earlier, the Met Office have The statistics epitomise the summer
:24:50. > :24:56.to some extent. Let's have a look at the figures now. Across the UK
:24:56. > :25:06.as a whole, temperatures have been all 0.5 degrees lower than the
:25:06. > :25:10.average sunshine. The summer in general has been the coolest since
:25:10. > :25:14.1993, provisionally. Things aren't going to warm up as a go later into
:25:14. > :25:19.the week, before the time being, we are under a good deal of cloud.
:25:19. > :25:26.That will continue to be the case. The reason be the high pressure is
:25:26. > :25:31.sent out to the west of the aisles at the moment... Eventually, as it
:25:31. > :25:35.gets further east, it will drag in some drier air. We are still a
:25:35. > :25:40.couple of days from that taking place. The satellite image shows we
:25:40. > :25:44.have had one pronged area of ripeness. That continues to be the
:25:44. > :25:51.case this evening, but otherwise a good deal of cloud around. That is
:25:52. > :25:56.how things will remain overnight. Overnight, with all of that cloud
:25:56. > :26:00.around, it will not be desperately chilly by any means. It will stay
:26:00. > :26:04.dry it with lighter winds. Temperatures will be around nine
:26:04. > :26:09.degrees in the country. Tomorrow we will start with a good deal of
:26:09. > :26:14.sunshine around. During the day, there will be some breaks
:26:14. > :26:20.developing. But -- through the day, there will be a hint of the cloud
:26:20. > :26:24.the more fragile compared to today. Fleeting glimpses of brighter skies.
:26:24. > :26:31.Light winds and remaining dry through the evening. Temperatures
:26:31. > :26:36.will be one or two degrees upon today. Looking beyond that, I
:26:36. > :26:41.mentioned that high pressure will move into the North Sea, the wind
:26:41. > :26:44.will come into this direction. These are the remnants of what was
:26:44. > :26:49.a tropical storm Irene. That will eventually bring some weather
:26:49. > :26:53.fronts towards us on Saturday, but probably quite weak. Until then, it
:26:53. > :26:59.remains dry. Indeed it starts to warm up for a bit. This is the air
:26:59. > :27:02.temperature measure a few 1,000 feet up. That is bound today it
:27:02. > :27:09.through to Saturday, it will start to increase. It is a good signal
:27:09. > :27:13.that things will improve. That is how things look. Through to
:27:13. > :27:18.Thursday, there will be a tendency for the cloud to break-up. It's
:27:19. > :27:23.like a decent day on Friday. A similar story on Saturday. The
:27:23. > :27:28.spread of the rain coming in later in the day.
:27:28. > :27:35.Would be looking wet and cooler, at least from the early indications,
