:00:10. > :00:15.Good evening and welcome to BBC Points West: Our headlines tonight:
:00:15. > :00:20.The boy paralysed within 48 hours. He's struck down by a rare illness
:00:20. > :00:25.but his recovery is astonishing his doctors. Get off my land! Farmers
:00:25. > :00:29.on the alert for fuel thieves as the price of diesel rockets.
:00:29. > :00:33.Her Majesty's Pleasure - a letter from the Queen to the west country
:00:33. > :00:37.army doctor trekking for his fellow wounded soldiers.
:00:37. > :00:47.And one day it might be a real one - the children being encouraged to
:00:47. > :00:47.
:00:47. > :00:50.Good evening. Doctors in Bath say they've been amazed by the recovery
:00:50. > :00:55.of a Bristol teenager who was struck down by a virus and
:00:55. > :00:58.paralysed. 16 year old Martin Graham thought he just had a cold
:00:58. > :01:04.but within 48 hours he was in intensive care at the RUH battling
:01:04. > :01:09.Guillain Barre syndrome. His family made a video diary recording the
:01:09. > :01:12.whole journey. Sarah-Jane Bungay has been to meet them.
:01:12. > :01:15.From a fit, strong rugby playing teenager to an intensive care
:01:15. > :01:17.patient barely able to control his movements, the illness which struck
:01:17. > :01:27.down Martin Graham was aggressive in its progress, distressing in its
:01:27. > :01:29.
:01:29. > :01:32.nature. I could only move my neck so I was trying to move my hands
:01:33. > :01:36.and legs and couldn't - the worse thought was paralysis for the rest
:01:36. > :01:40.of my life. So that was very very very scary.
:01:40. > :01:42.Martin was given a tracheotomy to help his breathing - a host of
:01:42. > :01:45.medical professionals helped to reassure him that feeling would
:01:45. > :01:55.return to his limbs and gradually improvement came - each small
:01:55. > :01:57.movement a milestone for this 16 year old. Martin's got a very
:01:57. > :02:01.strong mental attitude to all this. He's been very positive throughout
:02:01. > :02:07.and strong. He's got a brilliant sense of humour which I believe has
:02:07. > :02:13.really helped his as well. He's recovered so quickly that we
:02:13. > :02:17.believe a lot of it is how he's coped mentally. I figured that if
:02:17. > :02:20.you let yourself get down it does you no good so you always have to
:02:20. > :02:24.keep your spirits high others you'll do yourself harm so I always
:02:24. > :02:27.tried to have a good laugh. after weeks of not being able to
:02:27. > :02:33.eat himself - sausage and chips from the hospital trolley never
:02:33. > :02:42.tasted so good. That was the first time I ate food properly and that
:02:42. > :02:45.tasted glorious. Three months ago this teenager
:02:45. > :02:47.wasn't able to breathe or talk for himself. It has been a dramatic
:02:47. > :02:53.transformation from an illness which isn't widely talked about but
:02:53. > :02:56.one which can cause so much harm. Well, one of the doctors who looked
:02:56. > :03:02.after Martin was Dr Tim Cook - a consultant anaesthetist at the RUH.
:03:02. > :03:10.He joins us now. This is a scary thing, tell us
:03:10. > :03:14.about this syndrome. It is scary but it is very rare. It is a non
:03:14. > :03:22.infective condition. It is a neurological condition whereby the
:03:22. > :03:32.immune system attacks the patient's own nerves. The affected become in
:03:32. > :03:36.a way, attacking your own nerves and to it means the nerds do not
:03:36. > :03:42.function correctly. Generally what happens is the information from the
:03:42. > :03:47.brain does not get to the muscles. But he thought he had a cold.
:03:47. > :03:55.had a classic presentation which was some tingling in his feet going
:03:55. > :04:03.up his legs but soon after that and rapidly ascending paralysis from
:04:03. > :04:09.his legs moving up to his pelvis, up his arms and sometimes it
:04:09. > :04:15.affects the face. Incredibly frightening. What is the treatment?
:04:15. > :04:23.Keep the patient safe. Martin was brought rapidly to the intensive
:04:23. > :04:27.care unit because his breathing was difficult. And he needed to be
:04:27. > :04:32.anaesthetised and put on a ventilator. It is great to see him
:04:32. > :04:38.making a good recovery. What is the prospect of full recovery? Most
:04:38. > :04:44.patients make a full recovery and Martin, although we have not seen
:04:44. > :04:51.him in Bath for a while, he is in Frenchay, it has been fantastic.
:04:51. > :04:55.It's a team approach. Much of the work was done by nurses and physios.
:04:55. > :05:00.We are delighted to see his progress and he is an inspiration.
:05:00. > :05:03.It is so nice to have a good news story. Thank you for coming in. A A
:05:03. > :05:06.nine-year-old girl from Dorset has suffered a fractured skull in a
:05:06. > :05:09.skiing accident in Austria after losing control and smashing into a
:05:09. > :05:12.ski hut. India Furness from Cerne A-bus crashed through a safety net
:05:12. > :05:17.and wooden fence before being catapulted through the window of
:05:17. > :05:20.the disused cabin. She was airlifted to hospital in a coma,
:05:20. > :05:26.but has since regained consciousness. Doctors say a helmet
:05:26. > :05:28.probably saved her life. Eighteen farms in the West have now
:05:28. > :05:34.tested positive for the Schmallenberg virus which causes
:05:34. > :05:36.birth defects and miscarriages in livestock. The government has just
:05:36. > :05:42.published its latest figures and has confirmed that all farms
:05:42. > :05:49.affected are Sheep farms. The virus is thought to be spread by midges.
:05:49. > :05:52.Across the country it's been found in nearly 240 farms.
:05:52. > :05:56.The spiralling cost of fuel has led to a sharp rise in thefts of
:05:56. > :06:01.heating oil in parts of the region. Worst hit are farmers who often
:06:01. > :06:04.store thousands of pounds worth of fuel in their isolated outbuildings.
:06:04. > :06:09.The cost of theft claims has risen more than 150% according to the
:06:09. > :06:18.insurer NFU Mutual. Scott Ellis joins us now from a farm in
:06:18. > :06:24.Gloucestershire which has been targeted by thieves.
:06:24. > :06:28.Yes, heating oil a commonly stolen item in the countryside. In
:06:28. > :06:33.Gloucestershire last year 70 incidents, up from 50 for three
:06:33. > :06:38.years ago. On this farm, fairly typical, the heating oil is kept in
:06:38. > :06:42.a large plastic containers, they were filled up last year and
:06:42. > :06:48.immediately they were drained of the oil by thieves. There was
:06:48. > :06:53.�2,000 worth. The farmer joins me. It really inconvenienced you.
:06:53. > :06:59.inconvenience. I went into the holiday cottage, I found the boiler
:06:59. > :07:03.was not working and the maintenance staff came quickly and said they
:07:03. > :07:11.could not find anything wrong with the boiler but the tank was empty
:07:11. > :07:17.of fuel. So, it affected your business. A total inconvenience.
:07:17. > :07:25.How did they steal the fuel? have been told they apparently got
:07:25. > :07:31.into the top and put a hole in, it is only plastic, a hosepipe to a
:07:31. > :07:36.pump and drawing it off that way. They must have had a large tank.
:07:36. > :07:43.They store them in a transit vehicle which I suppose you could
:07:43. > :07:49.get 2000 litres in there. Let's talk to a form security consultant.
:07:49. > :07:55.What can you do because a lock doesn't help. It is a difficult
:07:55. > :08:01.situation, if they do put a lock, the chances are they will break the
:08:01. > :08:06.tank so you have to lose the fuel. It is not just farmers the news
:08:06. > :08:11.these. It is very difficult but the best thing to do is slow them up
:08:11. > :08:15.and spotlight them. Good lighting, make sure the cabling is height so
:08:15. > :08:21.they cannot cut it and CCTV, it's not always the answer but you must
:08:21. > :08:26.do what you can. It is not just heating oil. Farms all over the
:08:26. > :08:32.country are losing diesel and it is causing problems. We all pay in the
:08:32. > :08:36.long run. We have heard from the police say the theft of diesel from
:08:36. > :08:44.lorries and farm vehicles is increasing in the last month they
:08:44. > :08:48.had five incidents in a street, Froome, Evercreech and also �800 of
:08:49. > :08:54.diesel was taken from three lorries. Secure your vehicles and report
:08:54. > :08:57.suspicious behaviour. Thank you very much indeed. Well,
:08:57. > :09:02.you're watching BBC Points West this Tuesday evening, and the
:09:02. > :09:05.weather is definitely on the turn. We've plenty still to come between
:09:05. > :09:11.now and seven. With a trip to Sudeley Castle where David Starkey
:09:12. > :09:14.can tell us more about Henry VIII's last wife Katherine Parr. And no
:09:14. > :09:21.chance of catching their breath - we meet some synchronized Olympic
:09:21. > :09:24.hopefuls. Government plans for new laws to
:09:25. > :09:27.allow our emails, texts and web use to be monitored by intelligence
:09:27. > :09:35.agencies have been criticised by the conservative MP for Somerset
:09:35. > :09:40.North East Jacob Rees Mogg. The plans would see GCHQ in Cheltenham
:09:40. > :09:42.being given access to our communications as they're happening.
:09:42. > :09:45.And despite the home secretary insisting "ordinary people" would
:09:45. > :09:55.have nothing to fear, Jacob Rees Mogg says only criminal suspects
:09:55. > :09:56.
:09:56. > :09:59.should be targeted. I am concerned powers are being extended when the
:09:59. > :10:03.government came into office promising to restore civil
:10:03. > :10:07.liberties and to protect us from the encroachment of the state under
:10:07. > :10:09.the last Labour government. Mr Rees Mogg says he's worried his
:10:09. > :10:12.government could end up breaking an election pledge by intruding on
:10:12. > :10:17.people's privacy. Bristol Airport says strike action
:10:17. > :10:20.by French traffic controllers is disrupting some flights. Passengers
:10:20. > :10:24.are being told to expect delays to planes heading to France, Spain and
:10:24. > :10:28.Portugal. One flight to Toulouse and another to Limoges have been
:10:28. > :10:33.cancelled. Passengers are being advised to check the status of
:10:33. > :10:36.their flights with their airlines. A west country farm which tries to
:10:36. > :10:40.give inner city children a taste of the great outdoors welcomed a royal
:10:40. > :10:43.visitor today. The Duchess of Cornwall went to Jamie's Farm at
:10:43. > :10:47.Box to see how an insight into farming has opened the eyes of
:10:47. > :10:57.young people from some of Britain's more deprived areas. Luke Hanrahan
:10:57. > :10:57.
:10:57. > :11:01.reports. For this 15-year-old today was
:11:01. > :11:05.different. The Londoner has met these animals at Jamie's farm
:11:05. > :11:10.before but never Paul Teague. It was rather different for the
:11:10. > :11:16.duchess. It is hardly Highgrove. This farm provides inner-city
:11:16. > :11:21.youngsters with a change of scenery. In the countryside there is more
:11:21. > :11:26.opportunities including horse whispering. Making friends with a
:11:26. > :11:32.horse and all sorts of things. is interesting and quiet in the
:11:32. > :11:37.countryside. It is not like London with cars everywhere. When you go
:11:37. > :11:42.to sleep, it is really nice and you get more sleep. More sleep but it
:11:42. > :11:46.can also be hard work. The duchess knows all about that. Keeping
:11:47. > :11:50.chickens at home in Gloucestershire. She was keen to find out how
:11:50. > :11:56.Jamie's father is helping transform the lives of children from some of
:11:56. > :11:59.the toughest places in Britain. is apprehensive when the bus
:11:59. > :12:04.arrives and the children come out in the tracksuits and looking quite
:12:04. > :12:08.tough. It's amazing to see the softening it happens quickly when
:12:08. > :12:13.the children come from the urban environments. I go into the schools
:12:13. > :12:17.and visit where children live and they are tough urban environments.
:12:17. > :12:22.Getting to grips with the animals on the farm is proving a success
:12:22. > :12:32.for many of the teenagers. With her fondness of the countryside, this
:12:32. > :12:33.
:12:33. > :12:36.project certainly has her seal of A museum boasting one of Britain's
:12:36. > :12:39.best Bronze Age collections has been saved from closure after
:12:39. > :12:43.receiving �370,000 of lottery money. The Wiltshire Heritage Museum in
:12:43. > :12:46.Devizes feared it would have to close its doors. But museum bosses
:12:46. > :12:53.say this lottery funding will allow them to build a new gallery
:12:53. > :12:56.showcasing their Bronze Age artefacts.
:12:56. > :12:59.The Queen has sent a good luck message to a group of soldiers who
:12:59. > :13:02.are trying to become the first injured servicemen to scale Everest,
:13:02. > :13:06.the world's highest mountain. Among them is Captain Francis Atkinson
:13:06. > :13:11.from Wiltshire who was injured in Afghanistan in 2010. You may
:13:11. > :13:14.remember, we first met him a couple of weeks ago. Before the news about
:13:14. > :13:24.the Queen's message came in, I asked Captain Atkinson to fill us
:13:24. > :13:26.
:13:26. > :13:31.in on the journey so far. Since arriving in Kathmandu we
:13:31. > :13:37.sorted out our equipment, and we spent a couple of days there and
:13:37. > :13:43.then flew to an airfield on the side of a Himalayan cliff. It is
:13:43. > :13:47.there that we began our trip to Everest Base Camp. It is about a 10
:13:47. > :13:51.day trek and we are four days into it right now. How is everybody
:13:51. > :13:57.coping? Presumably, you are now starting to feel the effects of the
:13:57. > :14:02.altitude? That's right. At about 3,500 metres people began to
:14:02. > :14:06.develop altitude sickness problems such as headaches and nausea. As a
:14:06. > :14:11.group of soldiers we have been quite fortunate. Only a couple of
:14:11. > :14:16.members of our group have had mild headaches. We have had a couple of
:14:16. > :14:21.rest days to help us to adapt to the high altitude, and we will
:14:22. > :14:27.carry on on a way tomorrow. What is the next stage? We hope to reach
:14:27. > :14:31.base camp in about five - six days. That just depends on the dip -- the
:14:32. > :14:36.weather, and how everyone is feeling. There is no real rush to
:14:36. > :14:42.get that the limit. How are the conditions there at the moment? Do
:14:42. > :14:47.they look favourable? We have had bright sunshine, but it has been
:14:47. > :14:51.snowing today and thankfully it has been a rest day so we have not got
:14:51. > :14:55.too wet. We will lead to know how they get on.
:14:55. > :14:57.Well, just as we start to see a few showers, it's time to talk about
:14:57. > :15:00.the start of the cricket season. And Gloucestershire's cricketers
:15:00. > :15:02.believe they can defy the critics who say they'll struggle this
:15:02. > :15:05.summer. Last season's leading wicket-taker and their highest run-
:15:05. > :15:08.scorer both had to leave during the winter because of financial cut-
:15:08. > :15:15.backs. But, as Alistair Durden reports, the club is hoping their
:15:15. > :15:19.young squad can exceed expectations. If they looked fresh faced, it's
:15:19. > :15:23.because they are. Gloucestershire's squad is smaller in size and
:15:23. > :15:26.younger in years. The club are putting their faith in their
:15:26. > :15:34.academy graduates this year. Finances dictating long-serving
:15:34. > :15:38.high-earners like Jon Lewis and Chris Taylor had to move on. It is
:15:38. > :15:42.hard to replace 28 years of experience, no doubt about it. It
:15:42. > :15:49.means you have got to surge under every stone, and you have got to
:15:49. > :15:51.back your own. In our Academy, we believe we have been successful in
:15:51. > :15:54.producing cricketers over the last years, but you don't know that
:15:54. > :15:57.until you start playing. The club's stalled redevelopment plans have
:15:57. > :16:06.left a hole in the finances - lucrative international matches
:16:06. > :16:13.won't return unless improvements are made. The red dotted line here
:16:13. > :16:17.shows the original line. We have adopted by a fraud. -- dropped it
:16:17. > :16:20.by a floor. They've now scaled down the height of the apartment block
:16:20. > :16:23.they want to build and resubmitted the application last week. But the
:16:23. > :16:31.delay meant borrowing �400,000 from the council to keep the project
:16:31. > :16:35.alive. We have spent a lot of money and we have additional ex parte --
:16:35. > :16:38.costs, but it is not a cause for members to be worried. But it's not
:16:38. > :16:45.stopped the wage bill being trimmed. So now promising youngsters have to
:16:45. > :16:49.be become proven performers. There will be a few tough days, no doubt,
:16:49. > :16:53.but we are looking to push promotion, so I think it could be a
:16:53. > :16:57.team that will grow together for the future. It may not happen in
:16:57. > :17:01.the first season, but in two or three seasons it could be a really
:17:01. > :17:04.strong team and one to look at four. And, by that time, the club hopes
:17:04. > :17:07.its ground will also have been transformed.
:17:07. > :17:11.In football, Swindon has the chance to go five points clear at the top
:17:11. > :17:15.of League Two when they take on Barnet tonight. They beat them 4-0
:17:15. > :17:19.when the sides met at the County Ground back in September. They then
:17:19. > :17:23.knocked them out of the Johnstone's Paint Trophy to reach the final. So
:17:23. > :17:29.a win tonight would give them a commanding lead at the top of the
:17:29. > :17:33.table and with a game in hand. It's a combination of art,
:17:33. > :17:36.athleticism and timing. Synchronized swimming requires
:17:36. > :17:41.strength and skill in the water - but it also demands a huge amount
:17:41. > :17:44.of dedication and discipline. One Olympic hopeful who's prepared to
:17:44. > :17:47.give it everything she's got, day in and day out, is Bath's Anya
:17:47. > :17:57.Tarasiuk, and our cameras have been following her through a typical
:17:57. > :18:00.
:18:00. > :18:05.training day. They live to a strict routine,
:18:05. > :18:08.doing almost everything together at the same time. And yet from Bath
:18:08. > :18:18.and has to win partner Katie are both hoping to make the Olympic
:18:18. > :18:21.swimming team. Their training days start with a rigorous workout.
:18:21. > :18:26.arms are burning when you get towards the end, so you need a lot
:18:26. > :18:33.of motivation to keep going. If you don't like coming back like this...
:18:33. > :18:41.Them, it is into the water for four hours. It is the choreography time,
:18:41. > :18:45.making up some artistic moves. A lot of it was arm changes. The egg
:18:45. > :18:51.beater is the movement with our legs. I have got sore legs and a
:18:51. > :18:58.sore neck. They don't do the routines just once. Try again!
:18:58. > :19:02.rehearse again, and again, and it is every bit as energy-sapping as
:19:02. > :19:05.it looks. Recovery time and nutrition are just as important as
:19:05. > :19:10.training itself. Going for gold means dedicating all of your time
:19:10. > :19:16.to your dream. I was 16 when I got selected to be a part of the team.
:19:16. > :19:22.A lot of the girls were over 18, so they did actually get the chance to
:19:22. > :19:27.do A-levels at their own schools, in their own home towns. I have got
:19:27. > :19:33.a whole life ahead of me which I can go back to studying and doing
:19:33. > :19:38.whatever after the Olympics. days a week, full-time day in and
:19:38. > :19:43.night, all for the chance to make that final squad and compete in an
:19:43. > :19:47.Olympic pool. Tony McCoy and Ruby Walsh- big
:19:47. > :19:50.names in racing, but both of them are Irish. Today the champion
:19:50. > :19:56.trainer Paul Nicholls tried to change all that by inspiring a few
:19:56. > :20:01.British youngsters into becoming jockeys. Around a hundred children
:20:01. > :20:11.took part in a pony racing taster day at Cheltenham Racecourse. And
:20:11. > :20:13.
:20:13. > :20:22.Experiencing the thrill of the gallop for the very first time.
:20:22. > :20:27.Even on wooden horses, it's exciting. It hurt my legs a lot,
:20:27. > :20:31.and it took a bit of getting used to. It is quite fun. I have never
:20:31. > :20:34.done anything like it before. real thing is a growing sport -
:20:34. > :20:37.hundreds of races like these now take place every year. The
:20:37. > :20:42.organisers hope it will mirror the success in Ireland where pony
:20:42. > :20:45.racing is well established. More than 100 British graduates have now
:20:45. > :20:55.become jockeys. Gloucestershire's Willy Twiston-Davies is one who
:20:55. > :20:55.
:20:55. > :20:59.started that way. It taught me a lot, really. It taught me about
:20:59. > :21:02.Starting, race-day procedures, everything about racing - the
:21:02. > :21:08.styles and positions and when you are supposed to be doing things. A

:21:20. > :21:29.course you also need to know how to fall off safely. But, do they fancy
:21:29. > :21:32.giving proper racing a go? I would like to be a jockey when I am older
:21:32. > :21:36.because you get to go round the whole race course and everyone is
:21:36. > :21:41.watching you and they bet money on you when you go fast, and you tried
:21:41. > :21:46.at lots of different horses and ponies. If I was racing, I would be
:21:46. > :21:50.quite scared. I am really excited about pony racing, but I need a
:21:50. > :21:57.better horse. What do you want to do when you are older? Has any of
:21:57. > :22:02.this make you want to be a jockey? No, my expectation is to be a High
:22:02. > :22:10.Court judge. A bit of work still to be done then, but a day of thrills
:22:11. > :22:14.and excitement for all young horse enthusiasts.
:22:14. > :22:16.I am inspired and I wasn't even there!
:22:17. > :22:21.Divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived - the fate of
:22:21. > :22:26.Henry VIII's numerous wives. And the last wife that he had was
:22:26. > :22:28.Katherine Parr who's buried at Sudeley Castle. This summer the
:22:29. > :22:38.historian David Starkey is giving lectures at the castle to mark 500
:22:39. > :22:44.
:22:44. > :22:50.years since her birth. And Eleanor Sudeley Castle - a home fit for
:22:50. > :22:55.Queen. And, for one year only, it was. In the early 16th Century,
:22:55. > :22:59.Katherine Parr lived in this castle and walked in these gardens. But
:22:59. > :23:09.who was she really? One famous historian has made it his business
:23:09. > :23:09.
:23:09. > :23:13.to find out. Catherine is the Queen who survived. She is the last wife,
:23:13. > :23:17.and we tend to think of her as the woman who comes from nowhere. She
:23:17. > :23:22.is not. In many ways, she is the most interesting, the most exciting,
:23:22. > :23:27.the best educated and the cleverest of Henry's wives. She comes here
:23:27. > :23:31.because of her last husband, who is the kind of hot start of the Tudor
:23:31. > :23:38.court, a man called Thomas Seymour. She had been in love with him
:23:38. > :23:42.before she married Henry. She believes that God tells her to
:23:42. > :23:48.marry Henry. The moment Henley is dead, she does what she wanted to
:23:48. > :23:50.do all along and marries Thomas Seymour. This is his house. But her
:23:50. > :23:54.story doesn't end well. Seymore betrayed her, their only child died
:23:54. > :23:58.and, not long after, so did she. And it was here, in Sudeley
:23:58. > :24:02.castle's chapel, that Katherine's body was laid to rest. Now they've
:24:02. > :24:06.chosen the place where she died to talk about the life that she lived.
:24:06. > :24:16.Not just the wife of a king but a strong, bright and potent light in
:24:16. > :24:22.
:24:22. > :24:32.I love hearing David Starkey talking about it. He really does
:24:32. > :24:34.
:24:34. > :24:39.bring it to life, and gives it so The change is on. We have been
:24:39. > :24:43.talking about it changing this week, and right now it has begun. It is
:24:43. > :24:47.raining, and it has rained for many across the region today. More to
:24:47. > :24:53.come. We have been talking about the lack of rain, but we have got
:24:53. > :24:57.some over the next 24 hours. It still won't make much of a dent on
:24:57. > :25:02.to the dry ground. March was one of the warmest and driest since
:25:02. > :25:07.records began at the Met Office in 1910. We had acres of some time
:25:07. > :25:10.with highs of 21 Celsius. Last Wednesday was when they hit 21
:25:10. > :25:15.Celsius. Tomorrow could not be a more different picture with raw
:25:15. > :25:22.winds and a fair few wintery showers. Tomorrow will look and
:25:22. > :25:27.feel like a January day. It started nicely today, or dry and bright
:25:27. > :25:32.with decent amounts of sunshine, and tender just held up well. Then
:25:32. > :25:36.the showers began to push in from the West, bumping into cold air. We
:25:36. > :25:42.had some hail here and there. I have not had any reports of sleet
:25:42. > :25:47.and snow on higher ground, but no sooner we did hit higher ground
:25:47. > :25:52.then it would have melted very quickly. Most places did see those
:25:52. > :25:55.showers as just that, showers. We are now keeping a close eye on the
:25:56. > :25:59.progression of a system coming down from the North of England. There is
:25:59. > :26:04.a warm front and a cold front mixed together, bringing further bad
:26:04. > :26:08.weather, and further cold air over the next few days as that a
:26:08. > :26:12.direction changes and those wins swing in from the north-east. That
:26:12. > :26:16.is really what will cause the winter we feel over the next couple
:26:16. > :26:21.of days. For the rest of tonight, a continuation of the weather that I
:26:21. > :26:28.am enjoying now upon the roof. The showers continued. They could be
:26:28. > :26:31.wintery here and there the higher you grow. -- dove. The winds will
:26:31. > :26:36.intensify overnight. A cold night with many rural spots not getting
:26:36. > :26:41.much above freezing. Tomorrow sees a cold start from the word go. The
:26:41. > :26:48.wind will make its presence felt. It is a north-easterly wind which
:26:48. > :26:53.is never good news. The winter chill will be significant tomorrow.
:26:53. > :26:58.That will make the air temperature feel even colder than six or seven
:26:58. > :27:01.and it will feel more like three or four in a few areas. It really is a
:27:01. > :27:07.January day all round, and even when we get between us in those
:27:07. > :27:13.showers it will not settle on that warm ground. Tomorrow night will be
:27:13. > :27:18.the coldest of the week with further showers just about anywhere.
:27:18. > :27:22.Thursday is a drier picture, but we keep those north-easterly winds so
:27:22. > :27:29.it will be a cold day. Warming up in time for Good Friday and Easter
:27:29. > :27:34.Saturday, but still a nagging breeze over a dry weekend.
