:22:08. > :22:16.miles across the farm, you light be We get really busy
:22:17. > :22:25.when it's wet because trudghng through the mud really takes it out
:22:26. > :22:31.of your body so coming in for a nice leg and foot massage, lower
:22:32. > :22:34.back massage is utterly fantastic. It is now 2am and the party is
:22:35. > :22:41.clearly still well underway down the hill, that appear ht is
:22:42. > :23:04.almost like a relaxing hum which I I can tell you I did sleep very well
:23:05. > :23:09.last night. Coming over to this lot of people they have been up, first
:23:10. > :23:15.thing, earlier than me and they have been tried to grab a spot at the
:23:16. > :23:18.permit stage. How disappointing was it when the rain started? Wd were
:23:19. > :23:23.disappointed because we werd looking for to seeing them all day `nd
:23:24. > :23:29.halfway through it cut out. We were up at 7am ready to go and it is
:23:30. > :23:35.really sad. Let me show you this blanket, when I found them this is
:23:36. > :23:39.the saviour that they were `ll standing under. Show us what you all
:23:40. > :23:57.doing. Ali people did you gdt in here? Sing macro. Music macro. Are
:23:58. > :24:06.you cold in this? We have an airing system. I'm a bit card but H'd
:24:07. > :24:09.rather look sparkly than in this. People are desperate to get back to
:24:10. > :24:13.the music I think it is all beginning again. Thank you very
:24:14. > :24:18.much, I'm sure there's more rain but they'll definitely be some sunshine.
:24:19. > :24:23.Thank you Fiona you're really getting stuck in there. We're going
:24:24. > :24:29.to Ian with the weather now to see how it'll pan out. We can confirm
:24:30. > :24:34.that things are picking up `t Glastonbury. She did mention a
:24:35. > :24:39.rainbow. She did, proving there is a sunshine after the rain. Thhs
:24:40. > :24:43.beautiful rainbow made an appearance to put a smile on people 's faces.
:24:44. > :24:54.We thought we would share whth you. What are they say, you can't have a
:24:55. > :24:59.rainbow without the rain. Philosophy, it's more David Brent.
:25:00. > :25:03.He is right, although it was not so amusing when the lightning was
:25:04. > :25:09.coming down. It was almost ` bet that if we had any bad weather, that
:25:10. > :25:13.it would be near Glastonburx. This may be the case again on Saturday as
:25:14. > :25:17.we continue with this threat of heavy showers and thunderstorms
:25:18. > :25:21.It'll be much like today, those of you wondering what the fuss was like
:25:22. > :25:28.some of you will see giant bright weather. In the afternoon the threat
:25:29. > :25:33.will be manifest. On Sunday it'll be a better day as high pressure starts
:25:34. > :25:37.to reach an attempt is going to the high teens. The Met office will
:25:38. > :25:43.continue with warning for hdavy rain as they have done today with good
:25:44. > :25:46.reason, has to be demonstrated this. Heavy showers or thunderstorms, we
:25:47. > :25:50.have seen some hail today and lightning, all of these could be
:25:51. > :25:55.replicated in the course of tomorrow. The rainfall radar has
:25:56. > :25:58.shown how this convergence `rea across the south`west peninsula has
:25:59. > :26:07.delivered some of these heavy thunderstorms. They are movhng
:26:08. > :26:12.towards the geek near Bruton and going into Wilton. Some showers are
:26:13. > :26:15.still behind. We cannot ruld out showers for this evening. Looking at
:26:16. > :26:20.the sequence on the wider phcture you can notice how as who whll head
:26:21. > :26:24.into a dry night, tomorrow the main emphasis will be north of us as it
:26:25. > :26:31.sinks its way southwards so by the afternoon or evening the kex areas
:26:32. > :26:35.were threats will be here. H will emphasise the slow movement here. A
:26:36. > :26:40.closer look back at this evdning, you will see whether heavy showers
:26:41. > :26:46.are on the radar. The broad thrust of thing is spot`on here. A few
:26:47. > :26:52.showers but a good deal of dry weather tonight. Some mist `nd fog
:26:53. > :26:58.forming. Temperatures will settle around 10 Celsius. Tomorrow there
:26:59. > :27:02.will be a fair share of bright and sunny weather barring a shower or
:27:03. > :27:07.two. That is the window of better weather across the board. As we go
:27:08. > :27:11.into lunchtime the threat of heavy showers will materialise. You can
:27:12. > :27:14.see the ball vivid colours here The southern part of Somerset, Wiltshire
:27:15. > :27:19.and Dorset will have the problems as we go into the day. It'll slow as we
:27:20. > :27:25.go through the dry Saturday night into Sunday. Temperatures on part
:27:26. > :27:29.with today, Sunday will be ` better day. The high pressure from the
:27:30. > :27:40.North West will leave the start of next week to be the same. A bit
:27:41. > :27:45.world resting beats belch `` Glastonbury 's belch to comd. We
:27:46. > :27:48.will see on Monday have a good weekend.
