:00:54. > :01:14.on the eve of her 32nd birthday. Today's inquest heard that joy was a
:01:15. > :01:17.fairly good summer who also swam in the sea with her friend and
:01:18. > :01:23.housemate Austin. On that night there was an orange tide warning
:01:24. > :01:27.with large waves recorded. It is not clear whether joy and her friend
:01:28. > :01:32.Austin were aware of the warnings. They got the bus here and went for a
:01:33. > :01:37.swim. But they quickly got into difficulty. In video footage played
:01:38. > :01:40.to the inquest, a terrorist who was filming the storm from a roundabout
:01:41. > :01:46.here captured the moments before joy was swept out to sea. In it, we see
:01:47. > :01:49.joy and Austin in the water down here, struggling to stay on their
:01:50. > :01:55.feet as the waves bashed the sea wall next to them. Witnesses say Joy
:01:56. > :01:58.was thrown a lifeline, but it slipped from her grasp.
:01:59. > :02:00.It was an August weekend that claimed six lives in the seas
:02:01. > :02:03.around the British Isles, including one here in Jersey.
:02:04. > :02:05.This was when the rescue boat launched to find Joy.
:02:06. > :02:08.The man in the black T-shirt, who'd already saved a man
:02:09. > :02:12.from the water at Green Island, was telling crews where to find her.
:02:13. > :02:17.High tides and strong winds meant the sea was deceptively dangerous.
:02:18. > :02:20.They were odd conditions because it was a lovely summer's
:02:21. > :02:23.evening, but at the same time the sea was extraordinary
:02:24. > :02:29.At the seaside next to the beach, I'm sure it looked inviting.
:02:30. > :02:34.If you went out to any kind of depth it was devastating.
:02:35. > :02:42.One of the crew was tipped overboard as the fire rescue
:02:43. > :02:47.When they and the lifeboat crew found Joy, it was so rough,
:02:48. > :02:50.the coxswain made the decision not to try to land, but to take Joy
:02:51. > :02:54.Joy's family say they're devastated at the tragic loss,
:02:55. > :02:57.and repeatedly during the inquest made a point to thank those
:02:58. > :03:08.The inquest heard today how serious conditions were that night.
:03:09. > :03:11.Dr David Howell, an RNLI medic who was onboard one of the lifeboats
:03:12. > :03:14.and had tried to resuscitate Joy, described them as some of the worst
:03:15. > :03:18.While coxswain Andrew Hibbs described how, on two occasions,
:03:19. > :03:22.the all-weather lifeboat nearly rolled onto the inshore boat.
:03:23. > :03:24.He said, "The public don't realise, on high tide,
:03:25. > :03:30.Joy's friend Austin, who'd been with her in the sea,
:03:31. > :03:32.told the inquest they hadn't discussed the conditions
:03:33. > :03:35.when they arrived at the beach, they just went straight in.
:03:36. > :03:38.The coroner, Mark Harris, concluded by saying Joy's death was "tragic",
:03:39. > :03:41.and praised the courage and professionalism of all those

:04:46. > :04:55.Our sports editor Tim Pryor joined me earlier to explain more.
:04:56. > :05:03.The basic answer to why Jersey SER not putting up players -- Guernsey
:05:04. > :05:07.FC, is a lack of players. To play in the women's Muratti you have to be
:05:08. > :05:15.registered to a club in Guernsey or Jersey. A lot of the top Guernsey
:05:16. > :05:19.players play in Hampshire in the UK. They are affiliated to the Hampshire
:05:20. > :05:27.Football Association, and not the Guernsey football Association. They
:05:28. > :05:31.say it is not right to blame the Hampshire FA and that there is 20 of
:05:32. > :05:36.enthusiasm amongst Guernsey players. In recent years it has become
:05:37. > :05:43.one-sided to jersey. Yes, last year 89-0 wind, so really one-sided. In
:05:44. > :05:49.fact, Jersey have won 14 out of the last 15 games. It is a shame because
:05:50. > :05:54.jersey would have been hoping to use this Muratti. What is the Jersey
:05:55. > :05:59.Football Association saying about it? They say they are disappointed,
:06:00. > :06:03.but they are hopeful this can be reinstated maybe as soon as next
:06:04. > :06:07.season. I understand they are also trying to work to understand this
:06:08. > :06:10.women's Muratti with another game, and bring a high profile site to the
:06:11. > :06:12.island as part of those preparations for the Island games this side.
:06:13. > :06:15.Dash-macro summer. Have you ever run out
:06:16. > :06:18.of ideas for things to do The lack of attractions for families
:06:19. > :06:23.on wet weather days has been one of the criticisms of the island
:06:24. > :06:26.from tourists and locals alike. But that could be set to change
:06:27. > :06:28.after planners approved major changes to one
:06:29. > :06:30.popular visitor centre. Mark Inchley's been
:06:31. > :06:33.finding out more. He's the little yellow plane
:06:34. > :06:36.with a big heart that captured the hearts of islanders,
:06:37. > :06:38.and even spawned a series But, since flying his last ever
:06:39. > :06:41.flight two years ago, the next chapter for Joey has been
:06:42. > :06:44.far from clear with But that's all set to change
:06:45. > :06:48.with new plans for Oatlands Village, which include a permanent
:06:49. > :06:58.home for Joey. Part of that is a 2000 square metre
:06:59. > :07:05.play barn, a play area for children from 0- 12. Contained within that
:07:06. > :07:09.would be the resting home for Joey. There have to be places for people
:07:10. > :07:13.to go when it is wet and rainy, and if they can see that there is
:07:14. > :07:16.somewhere for their children to play, even if the weather turns
:07:17. > :07:17.nasty, then it will attract them here.
:07:18. > :07:21.So good news for Joey and his fans but, with a drop in the number
:07:22. > :07:23.of people visiting Guernsey last year, will the new-look Oatlands be
:07:24. > :07:27.enough to plug the gap when it comes to what some perceive to be the lack
:07:28. > :07:31.of rainy-day and tourist attractions for families in the island?
:07:32. > :07:41.I think it is a very good idea. There is not very much for visitors
:07:42. > :07:44.or children to go to. It is a lot more for children to do, and it
:07:45. > :07:45.would be a lot more appealing for families to come to jersey,
:07:46. > :07:46.definitely. So, some way to go before
:07:47. > :07:49.the work here is finished, but also some excitement
:07:50. > :07:51.about what's to come. And, it seems, Joey's
:07:52. > :07:54.story is far from over. A new children's centre to help
:07:55. > :07:56.support Guernsey families If it gets planning permission,
:07:57. > :08:01.the project will see a community caf created in this space
:08:02. > :08:04.at the old St Sampsons' Various services will also be run
:08:05. > :08:09.from here such as speech therapy, antenatal classes
:08:10. > :08:23.and health visitor sessions. We all have times in our parenting
:08:24. > :08:28.where we think it is not so easy, and maybe we are looking for a bit
:08:29. > :08:31.of extra help and somebody who is a listening ear can give us some
:08:32. > :08:34.support and maybe some guidance, and help us on our way.

:10:56. > :10:59.some showers around, most of which will be rain, but as we move through
:11:00. > :11:05.tomorrow night and into Friday, there is a risk of some sleet or the
:11:06. > :11:11.odd flurry of snow. We are getting in easterly winds, and those are
:11:12. > :11:15.cold. They are coming from southern Scandinavia, where temperatures
:11:16. > :11:19.right now are well below freezing. This is Friday, this area of low
:11:20. > :11:24.pressure in harms is the strength of the easterly wind as we move through

:11:28. > :11:34.the weekend, but with slightly less cold air by Sunday and Monday of
:11:35. > :11:38.next week. The cold will be with us for Thursday and Friday, so expect
:11:39. > :11:42.to see a lot of clear skies overnight tonight. Still the risk of
:11:43. > :11:47.the odd passing shower, but most will be very isolated. A touch of
:11:48. > :11:52.Frost is possible with three or four the minimum temperature. More cloud
:11:53. > :11:57.coming from the east through tomorrow. The showers will be quite
:11:58. > :12:02.isolated if they do occur at all, but look at those temperatures, just
:12:03. > :12:20.6 degrees the maximum. With more of a breeze, it will feel quite cold.
:12:21. > :12:28.Friday and Saturday, both days at risk of seeing the odd wintry

:22:38. > :22:45.And you never know, the gardens here at
:22:46. > :22:47.Rosemoor may actually end up encouraging a resurgence in demand
:22:48. > :23:03.What a good idea. Good to see some signs of spring as well.
:23:04. > :23:07.You grow apples? I have an apple tree. And I saw some
:23:08. > :23:14.crocuses. I love the snowdrops.
:23:15. > :23:18.I hadn't -- a hint of spring. Let's see what the weather is going to be
:23:19. > :23:22.like. Apple trees like some cold weather?
:23:23. > :23:32.Yes, not while they are in blossom. We have had plenty of sunshine
:23:33. > :23:37.today. It makes a huge difference. A lot of sunshine for most of the
:23:38. > :23:41.south-west of all a bit more cloud creeping in from the east. We start
:23:42. > :23:46.with a look across Plymouth Sound where we had an unusual visitor.
:23:47. > :23:54.This is a South African frigate coming in for exercise during the
:23:55. > :23:59.course of the day, and from here we go to some spring bulbs. These
:24:00. > :24:05.crocuses look great. Also beneath the trees some beautiful shots of
:24:06. > :24:17.flowers coming out. Spring is starting to show. Sadly the frost
:24:18. > :24:22.and the cold is going to come back. We have easterly winds developing
:24:23. > :24:27.over the next 24 hours. We have hardly had any today but those
:24:28. > :24:32.easterly winds will develop and continue to give us some pretty low
:24:33. > :24:36.temperatures over the next ten days. Perhaps a hint as we move into next
:24:37. > :24:44.week of some slightly less cold air but the cold is already upon us and
:24:45. > :24:48.temperatures are falling. Overnight tonight, a widespread frost.
:24:49. > :24:55.Temperatures could get down to zero, even -1 overnight. A widespread
:24:56. > :24:59.frost but not much moisture so I do not think we will see too much in
:25:00. > :25:03.the way of ice. The only chance is on some of the minor routes over
:25:04. > :25:09.high ground weather has been water coming out of the hedgerows. A
:25:10. > :25:13.frosty night, reasonable start tomorrow with some sunshine but we
:25:14. > :25:19.are going to continue to see more cloud creeping in from the east
:25:20. > :25:24.during the day. With such cold air there is a chance of a few wintry
:25:25. > :25:32.showers from the East and they could produce some showers in parts of
:25:33. > :25:37.Dorset and Somerset. Along the south coast, the chance of a few showers,
:25:38. > :25:42.mostly of rain, affecting the far south of Cornwall and the southern
:25:43. > :25:56.half of Devon but we should get some sunshine tomorrow and perhaps 6-7 -
:25:57. > :26:01.eight Celsius. A cold wind coming in from the east south-east. The
:26:02. > :26:08.easterly breeze will continue on Friday. We will all see frost and
:26:09. > :26:17.quite widespread. For most of us it will be dry but a cold wind and that
:26:18. > :26:22.cold wind, the source of error, part of Scandinavia, will make it feel
:26:23. > :26:26.pretty raw. By the time we get into Saturday and Sunday, the
:26:27. > :26:33.Scandinavian areas across us and it will be a cold few days. There was
:26:34. > :26:38.some speckled cloud around today, not much through the night, clear
:26:39. > :26:46.skies, so frosty in places, as low as -1, minus two. Showers on the
:26:47. > :26:51.south coast. There might be a wintry flurry across parts of Dorset and
:26:52. > :26:55.Somerset. Struggling temperatures, feeling colder because of the
:26:56. > :26:59.strength of wind. The Isles of Scilly, bright and dry but quite
:27:00. > :27:08.windy with Southeast winds. Times of high water. Some good surfing across
:27:09. > :27:16.the North Coast but it is pretty cold. The outlook is continuing
:27:17. > :27:22.frost at night, a lot of cloud from Friday through to Saturday and
:27:23. > :27:32.Sunday and the cloud is thick enough for the odd flurry in the winter but
:27:33. > :27:34.I have to say it isn't much to appreciate.
:27:35. > :27:39.We had our weather symbols ready in case you needed them.
:27:40. > :27:42.What is that supposed to be?
