:21:33. > :21:39.just talk about the support that you have had to get to this stage?
:21:39. > :21:42.Your mother was so excited when I spoke to her on Friday and a
:21:42. > :21:47.cyclist sister supports you as well. The yes, they have been behind me
:21:47. > :21:51.the whole way. I would not have been able to get to where I am
:21:51. > :21:55.today without them following me around the country must weeks. My
:21:55. > :22:01.coach as well, he has been there next to me and helping me out
:22:01. > :22:06.baroque all of this experience. It has been great. Do you get a nice
:22:06. > :22:10.little great -- break from the bike? No, I am racing on the
:22:11. > :22:16.bellowed from tomorrow. Well, I enjoy that if you possibly can.
:22:16. > :22:19.That is fantastic. The thank you so much.
:22:19. > :22:22.Couple of other brief bits of news. Derby County's James Bailey has
:22:22. > :22:24.been sent to Coventry. The one time Rams Young Player of the Year is
:22:24. > :22:32.joining them for three months on loan.
:22:32. > :22:36.And a huge coup for Nottingham Panthers. Players in the top league
:22:36. > :22:39.in the world, the NHL, have been locked out after failing to reach a
:22:39. > :22:42.pay deal with the owners. Now one of them, Anthony Stewart, is coming
:22:42. > :22:45.to the East Midlands to play. The right winger's no bit part player
:22:45. > :22:48.at the top level. He played 77 games for Carolina Hurricanes last
:22:48. > :22:51.season. Apparently he stayed in shape this summer by training as a
:22:51. > :22:53.cage fighter. Just a quick bit of rugby news from
:22:53. > :22:56.Leicester Tigers before I go. They've confirmed today they've now
:22:56. > :23:06.signed the South African back row forward Wessel Jooste after sorting
:23:06. > :23:09.
:23:09. > :23:14.out issues with his visa. That was brilliant. That was so interesting!
:23:14. > :23:18.And lazy's males match her bike, don't they? -- and Lucy's
:23:18. > :23:21.fingernails matched her bike, don't they? You would notice something
:23:21. > :23:24.like that! Now, at a time when many businesses
:23:24. > :23:27.are struggling to survive, one says it's having its most lucrative year.
:23:27. > :23:30.Anstey makes wallpapers for some of the best shops and designers.
:23:30. > :23:32.Managers say a change in style, where people are choosing paper
:23:32. > :23:36.over paint, means turnover has doubled in six years. From
:23:36. > :23:41.Loughborough, Kylie Pentelow reports.
:23:41. > :23:48.This is exactly how it was made a century ago, and for a very special
:23:48. > :23:57.orders, Dave can still make it the same way today. So this is an
:23:57. > :24:02.original William Loris. Yes, it is poppy. It is from 1980. -- 1880.
:24:02. > :24:07.That is the historic way, but with each will costing up to �1,000,
:24:07. > :24:11.this won't be gracing the walls of every home. Said this is how it is
:24:11. > :24:16.made today, and the paper they produce is sold in some of the best
:24:16. > :24:20.stories and to the best designers, like Ralph Lauren. But business has
:24:20. > :24:24.not always been this good. Wallpaper went through a really
:24:24. > :24:28.difficult time in the 90s when minimalism was all the vogue and
:24:28. > :24:36.everyone was painting their walls white or magnolia, but I think
:24:36. > :24:42.cents, wallpapers have come back into vogue and we have doubled our
:24:42. > :24:47.sales over the last six or seven years. We are still growing at 15
:24:47. > :24:52.and 20 % a year and that is letting us have the chance to make better
:24:52. > :24:55.products for our customers. could this be the future? It is
:24:55. > :25:02.all-digital, where what Labour can be printed in any shape, size or
:25:02. > :25:07.colour. -- wallpaper. But it is the hand-made product that attracts
:25:08. > :25:12.global attention. And a hit at home as well. They recently created this
:25:12. > :25:17.wallpaper with royal approval, but they cannot tell us where it is
:25:17. > :25:21.hung. With a pedigree like this, staff at Anstey are hoping that
:25:21. > :25:30.magnolia stays firmly out of fashion and it is wallpaper that
:25:30. > :25:38.I just cannot help thinking about a toddler with a load of prions
:25:38. > :25:42.running around with �1,000 worth of wallpaper! We talked about what
:25:42. > :25:49.they put all the way through that story. Is the weather are going to
:25:49. > :25:55.be a work of art? It had been an eventful start to the week. For
:25:55. > :26:00.tonight, more work rain to come. It comes as no surprise that some of
:26:00. > :26:06.our river levels are high. One thing we need to know about is that
:26:06. > :26:12.we still have an amber warning in force for Derbyshire. Derbyshire
:26:12. > :26:22.had about 10 mm of rain abroad day on top of the 38 mm that they had

:26:24. > :26:30.on yesterday. -- of rain today on top of the 38 mm that they had
:26:30. > :26:34.yesterday. There is a flood alert. This is wide. Low-pressure is going
:26:34. > :26:40.to track its way south borough the next 24 hours and things will
:26:40. > :26:45.become drier and settled for the end of the week. The rain has
:26:45. > :26:50.slowed down. It has pushed its way into parts of Nottinghamshire
:26:50. > :26:54.earlier today, but is starting to track away before it pushes its way
:26:54. > :26:59.back in and slowly pushes east as we go through the early hours of
:26:59. > :27:02.Wednesday morning. The best of the dry conditions look to be out
:27:02. > :27:08.taught Lincolnshire. Where we get the dry conditions you might see
:27:08. > :27:11.some mist or fog. The rain will start to clear south as we go
:27:11. > :27:16.through the morning on Wednesday, but the story tomorrow is sunshine
:27:16. > :27:26.and showers, particularly heavy across the South with a risk of
