but if you do anything wrong out there, this lot will be after you. | :00:34. | :00:38. | |

We talk to the proud owner of Grand National sensation Pineau De Re. | :00:50. | :00:58. | |
Good evening. Welcome to Monday's programme. First | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
tonight: A court's heard how a rambler was gored to death by a | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
rampaging bull. Roger and Glenis Freeman from | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
Leicestershire were walking across a field in South Nottinghamshire when | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
the animal charged them. 63`year`old Roger was killed. Glenis was | :01:15. | :01:19. | |
injured, but escaped with her life. The prosecution says Mr Freeman's | :01:20. | :01:21. | |
death amounts to manslaughter because of gross negligence on the | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
part of Paul Waterfall, the farmer who owned the bull. He denies the | :01:26. | :01:37. | |
charge. James Roberson reports. Arriving at Nottingham Crown Court | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
today, Farmer Paul Waterfall is accused of a gross breach of his | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
duty of care to walkers that used one of his fields. The court heard | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
in November 2010 keen walkers Glenys and Roger Freeman were walking from | :01:51. | :01:57. | |
Nottingham to Loughborough when they arrived at his field. Halfway across | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
it they realised there were cows and a ball in the field. The jury heard | :02:02. | :02:07. | |
that Glenys hurried ahead of Roger and she heard a noise behind her. | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
She turned and Roger had been hit by the bowl. It repeatedly attacked | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
them both and Gordon stamped on Roger and tossed in the air. The | :02:17. | :02:23. | |
last thing he heard her cry to him is, I am sorry, I cannot get us out | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
of this. Mr Freeman died of multiple injuries. The court also heard there | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
had been another incident with the ball in the same field some weeks | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
earlier involvement some electrical engineers who were working there. | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
The two men tried to fend the ball off with rods they carried and one | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
managed to escape over barbed wire and into a hedge and the other got | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
out of the field and ran around to where his colleague was, only to | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
find the ball standing over both of them as they cowered in a ditch. | :02:54. | :02:59. | |
They were saved by Paul Waterfall who arrived with a digger machine. | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
It is alleged that there was another incident in the same field two weeks | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
before Roger Freeman died. The prosecution alleges that the ball | :03:09. | :03:14. | |
was aggressive and proposed a risk to walkers. The ball was put down | :03:15. | :03:20. | |
after Roger Freeman's death. The trial could last five weeks. | :03:21. | :03:26. | |
A murder investigation has started after the body of a woman was found | :03:27. | :03:35. | |
in Derby. She was discovered in an area known for high levels of crime, | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
but police say they're keeping an open mind about how she died. | :03:40. | :03:41. | |
They are looking for evidence everywhere on and below the street. | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
The forensic tech shows where the body of the white woman in her 30s | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
was found by a member of the public yesterday morning. Since then it has | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
become a murder investigation and the police are hoping for more | :03:53. | :03:58. | |
information. If they saw anything suspicious at all, please can they | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
contact us. If you saw anybody fitting the description of a woman, | :04:02. | :04:10. | |
54, shoulders should link each `` five tall, shoulder`length dark hair | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
and wearing camouflage leggings and a black fleece top, please could you | :04:14. | :04:21. | |
contact the incident room. This street has a poor reputation for | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
crime, particularly drugs and prostitution. A few years ago it was | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
even called smack Ali but residents have said that name is out of date | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
and no longer deserved although it can be a difficult place to lead `` | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
live. There are dirty needles, blood, drugs, guns, prostitution. It | :04:39. | :04:45. | |
is not good. You do get police coming down every now and again to | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
stop domestics but it is not too bad. Most of them did move out. It | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
is not clear if this death has any connection to the crime problems in | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
the area. A postmortem was taking place this afternoon as the | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
investigation continues. The East Midlands has a Premier | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
League football team again. After ten years out of the top flight, | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
Leicester City were promoted at the weekend without even playing. It's | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
good for sports fan of course but some are predicting it'll mean a big | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
financial boost for the local economy and for jobs too. Kirsty | :05:21. | :05:31. | |
Edwards reports. After all the celebrating, it is | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
back to business here at the training ground today. Off the | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
pitch, this promotion is big business for the whole city. It is | :05:40. | :05:45. | |
not just the players and the club that will benefit financially. | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
Having a team in the top flight has huge benefits. One study carried out | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
when Swansea were promoted to the Premier league showed 400 new jobs | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
were created and there was a huge boost to the economy. There have | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
been some studies that suggest places around the size of this one | :06:03. | :06:10. | |
might benefit from 40 or ?50 million worth of business, maybe a number of | :06:11. | :06:16. | |
new jobs. Whether you are a football fan or not, the news at the weekend | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
is something to give a big lift to the city. You will get a lot of | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
business coming through with the fans and what have you. It is good | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
to see because it is a nice city. We are not really known, are we, | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
Leicester? It will bring more people into the city when the home matches | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
are on, that is for sure. The profile of Leicester is set to be | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
raised, not just here in this city `` country. Premiership football has | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
an international profile which is very important for Leicester because | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
we want to be noticed in the UK and around the world. It is good news | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
for the economy of the city because inevitably brings business to our | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
city and profile to our city and it brings investment and jobs and all | :06:59. | :07:07. | |
of those are very important as well as what happens on the field. | :07:08. | :07:10. | |
Hitting the jackpot on and off the pitch, no wonder the champagne has | :07:11. | :07:16. | |
already been flowing. In other news tonight: | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
Nottinghamshire County Council is seeking urgent talks with the | :07:20. | :07:22. | |
Government and UK Coal over the threatened closure of the county's | :07:23. | :07:24. | |
last deep mine. 600 jobs are under threat at | :07:25. | :07:27. | |
Thoresby Colliery. UK Coal announced it'll shut the site by next Autumn, | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
after it ran into major financial problems. The County Council says | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
closing the mine would have a devastating impact on the community, | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
where unemployment and levels of deprivation are above the national | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
average. The managing director of the | :07:42. | :07:43. | |
Derby`based train`maker Bombardier is leaving the company. Francis | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
Paonessa helped the firm win a ?1 billion Crossrail contract. He's | :07:48. | :07:55. | |
moving to Network Rail to become the new head of infrastructure projects, | :07:56. | :07:58. | |
where he'll be helping to deliver the electrification of the Midland | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
Mainline. The M1 in Leicestershire was closed | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
for over two hours today after a lorry crashed into the central | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
reservation. The air ambulance was called to the scene just south of | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
Leicester this lunchtime and the driver of the lorry was taken to | :08:13. | :08:15. | |
hospital. His injuries aren't thought to be life threatening. | :08:16. | :08:25. | |
Those are pictures from a viewer there. | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
I was the viewer, I was there at! Next tonight, astonishing pictures | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
of the risks people take and the damage they do when they trespass on | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
our railway lines. Last year alone there were more than 500 incidents | :08:38. | :08:40. | |
in the East Midlands and it's expected to get worse as the schools | :08:41. | :08:47. | |
break up for Easter. Jo Healey investigates the latest tactic to | :08:48. | :08:50. | |
try to keep youngsters safe.v Still to come: | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
look at the risk they are running. Trains can travel up to 125 miles an | :08:56. | :09:03. | |
hour and take a mile and a quarter to stop. We have had a number of | :09:04. | :09:07. | |
fatalities in the East Midlands. They race `` they weigh 400 tonnes | :09:08. | :09:14. | |
so they cannot stop easily. This attack happened locally as well at | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
this trespassing. He is walking his dog, just some of the reasons why | :09:19. | :09:22. | |
safety trains have returned to the East Midlands. This looks like any | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
normal train but it is staffed by officers from British Transport | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
Police, and by staff from network rail. Their job, if they see | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
anything that is going on that should not be like trespassing is to | :09:35. | :09:37. | |
stop the train straightaway and get out there and deal with it. Today | :09:38. | :09:54. | |
they are patrolling this line. There were 57 reports of trespassing and | :09:55. | :09:56. | |
vandalism on this line alone last year. On tracks across the East | :09:57. | :09:58. | |
Midlands there were 500 incidents, with 14 reported just last week. The | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
delays they cause cost Network Rail ?1.3 million a year in | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
compensation. They do talk to children in schools about this kind | :10:06. | :10:08. | |
of thing and now they have the safety trains. We want to catch the | :10:09. | :10:15. | |
people who think it is OK to take short cuts or play chicken or put | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
obstructions on the line. We were responding to a fraternity last week | :10:21. | :10:24. | |
and people were trespassing nearby at the same time. Caution, fine, | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
jail, all penalties that people do this sort of thing can be faced with | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
but they are hoping that the Newbridge rolls. Them in their | :10:34. | :10:42. | |
tracks. `` the new patrols will stop them in their tracks. | :10:43. | :10:47. | |
Still to come: A winner by a mile. This is Pineau de Re romping home in | :10:48. | :10:50. | |
the Grand National. We'll be speaking live to owner John Provan a | :10:51. | :10:53. | |
little later. After the downpours today, what are | :10:54. | :10:56. | |
the odds of some sunshine later tomorrow? Place your bets, I will | :10:57. | :11:04. | |
have a tip`off for you. Now, the economic recovery's under | :11:05. | :11:08. | |
way, but most of it's happening in the south. One way East Midlands | :11:09. | :11:11. | |
companies are being urged to put that right is by exploiting the | :11:12. | :11:14. | |
world's emerging markets. Places like India, Turkey, Brazil. Brazil's | :11:15. | :11:17. | |
in the spotlight as the host of the World Cup but it's also seeing its | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
own economic miracle, one that could help create jobs here. In the first | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
of a special series, Mike O'Sullivan travelled to Brazil to see how the | :11:26. | :11:28. | |
South American nation's destiny could be closely entwined with ours. | :11:29. | :11:43. | |
They call the Brazilian super city of Sao Paulo the New York of the | :11:44. | :11:50. | |
tropics. It is a World Cup venue, place for World Cup protest as well. | :11:51. | :11:56. | |
It is big. 13 million people and big on business. Doing business in Sao | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
Paulo means getting around the city's legendary traffic problem. | :12:01. | :12:03. | |
Some Brazilians do that by helicopter and this building has a | :12:04. | :12:10. | |
helipad 24 stories up. Can our businesses get lift in this economic | :12:11. | :12:13. | |
powerhouse to make their export ambitions take flight? Six | :12:14. | :12:18. | |
businesses and organisations have come here on a four`day trade | :12:19. | :12:23. | |
mission from the East Midlands. This is their market briefing from UK | :12:24. | :12:28. | |
Trade Investment, the government agency that setup the trip. This | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
businessman is from a company based in Leicestershire. Back home the | :12:34. | :12:38. | |
firm employs 11 people, making specialist cooling equipment for | :12:39. | :12:41. | |
everything from laboratories laser printers. We have to export. The | :12:42. | :12:48. | |
market in the UK is pretty saturated. We are doing OK in the | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
States and that will continue to grow but we must find growth | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
elsewhere. Many companies are not making Brazil are high priority. | :12:57. | :13:01. | |
Around ?160 million worth of manufactured goods were exported to | :13:02. | :13:04. | |
Brazil from the East Midlands last year. That is up 7%. Brazil is down | :13:05. | :13:11. | |
in 20 Fourth Place of the list of countries that this region exports | :13:12. | :13:16. | |
to. It is the same as the national figure. We have set a target to | :13:17. | :13:30. | |
double our exports and we are determined to achieve that. | :13:31. | :13:32. | |
Is that really achievable? I think it is achievable. I think it is | :13:33. | :13:35. | |
stretching but I think it is achievable. Education has been | :13:36. | :13:37. | |
identified as a growth sector for our universities. The University of | :13:38. | :13:40. | |
Nottingham has sent out an academic to make links in Sao Paulo and Rio. | :13:41. | :13:45. | |
They want to attract more Brazilian students and get a share of research | :13:46. | :13:51. | |
grants for oil and gas. A lot of our research income could arise out of | :13:52. | :13:59. | |
that development. If you can make it big here, there is huge potential. | :14:00. | :14:05. | |
Remember this story from the programme about Julius in Leicester | :14:06. | :14:10. | |
that was protected during a raid by an anti`theft smoke screen? The | :14:11. | :14:15. | |
smokes green company has returned on its second trade mission. Orders | :14:16. | :14:18. | |
from banks and other customers have made Brazil its biggest market. | :14:19. | :14:23. | |
There is a particular type of attack where they use a dynamite to blow up | :14:24. | :14:29. | |
ATM enclosures. In the UK we have a similar type of attack which we | :14:30. | :14:34. | |
think is happening often because we had 40 attacks. In Brazil they have | :14:35. | :14:40. | |
40 a month. There is a chance to network at an evening reception. | :14:41. | :14:46. | |
This could be a city and country that stretches the horizons of our | :14:47. | :14:56. | |
businesses. Tomorrow they will look at how the | :14:57. | :15:00. | |
Triumph motorcycle company is taking part in that Brazilian move. | :15:01. | :15:03. | |
A Derbyshire businessman hasn't stopped celebrating since his horse | :15:04. | :15:06. | |
romped to victory in the Grand National at Aintree on Saturday. 25 | :15:07. | :15:12. | |
to one shot Pinea De Re won the race by five lengths. Now his co`owner | :15:13. | :15:17. | |
John Provan, who's a former jockey, is already planning to enter him in | :15:18. | :15:22. | |
a second National. And tonight the much coveted Grand National Trophy | :15:23. | :15:27. | |
is right here in the East Midlands. It's at John's farm near Doveridge | :15:28. | :15:30. | |
and we can speak to him now. John, many congratulations, are you still | :15:31. | :15:36. | |
celebrating? Yes, thank you very much, we are. I | :15:37. | :15:42. | |
am afraid I am a bit hoarse after all the shouting on Saturday and my | :15:43. | :15:47. | |
voice has not recovered. I am sure it will. Nobody can blame you in the | :15:48. | :15:50. | |
least! What does it mean to have that beautiful trophy in York and | :15:51. | :15:57. | |
is? It is fantastic. There are an awful lot of people who would give | :15:58. | :16:00. | |
their right arm to be here today with this trophy. It is the highest | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
accolade in National Hunt racing. Any jockey, any owner, any train | :16:06. | :16:11. | |
would want to win a grand trash and `` Grand National on this trophy | :16:12. | :16:15. | |
represents that. It must have been quite stressful watching the race. | :16:16. | :16:20. | |
Tell us what you were thinking. There are 30 jumps and everyone is | :16:21. | :16:27. | |
important. When you come to that last one you are hoping that you get | :16:28. | :16:31. | |
the biggest and the best jump of the whole race if you are still in the | :16:32. | :16:35. | |
race and the horse actually made the best jump of the whole 30 fences on | :16:36. | :16:40. | |
the last fence and it kicked in clear and then it was just following | :16:41. | :16:44. | |
him home, shouting him home all the way to the line. When you and your | :16:45. | :16:49. | |
friend Richard Newland bought this wonderful horse from an Irish owner, | :16:50. | :16:52. | |
did you believe that it could win the big one? Well, there is always | :16:53. | :17:00. | |
the drain. We had the dream but we thought maybe a Midlands National or | :17:01. | :17:04. | |
Scottish National but then as the dream unfolded we thought there was | :17:05. | :17:07. | |
a chance that the horse could actually win a Grand National. You | :17:08. | :17:14. | |
say that he has the heart of a lion, do you think you could win again? | :17:15. | :17:19. | |
Well, it depends very much on the handicapper. He is not a very big | :17:20. | :17:24. | |
horse and if we got too much weight it could spoil his chances. We are | :17:25. | :17:28. | |
hoping to go back and defend the title and that would be the plan at | :17:29. | :17:34. | |
this stage. Thank you so much for talking to us and congratulations | :17:35. | :17:38. | |
again from all of us here. Thank you very much, thank you. Many | :17:39. | :17:43. | |
congratulations, what a beautiful trophy at is! That is new, isn't it? | :17:44. | :17:49. | |
Yes I think it is the first time because they have had a change of | :17:50. | :17:52. | |
sponsor. His is the first name on it! | :17:53. | :17:55. | |
Time for sport and more on Leicester's promotion to the Premier | :17:56. | :17:56. | |
League. Yes, earlier in the programme we | :17:57. | :18:00. | |
heard about the huge benefits of having a Premier League team back in | :18:01. | :18:03. | |
the East Midlands. It means so much for the City of Leicester, the | :18:04. | :18:07. | |
football club and fans but what about manager Nigel Pearson. He's | :18:08. | :18:10. | |
been speaking today at the club training ground. | :18:11. | :18:21. | |
Celebrations this morning, smiles all around at the club training | :18:22. | :18:27. | |
ground. Extra media attention as well for interviews with the manager | :18:28. | :18:31. | |
Nigel Pearson who now wants to lead his team to win the title. It feels | :18:32. | :18:37. | |
very, very good and a bit of a relief actually. I suppose when you | :18:38. | :18:44. | |
consider the expectation that has been surrounding us as a club for | :18:45. | :18:51. | |
quite awhile now, it is nice actually to come in and know that we | :18:52. | :18:57. | |
have actually achieved a big part of what we set out to do and that is to | :18:58. | :19:01. | |
gain promotion and now we want to win a trifle. Victory on Friday | :19:02. | :19:05. | |
night against Sheffield Wednesday combined with repeats `` defeats for | :19:06. | :19:11. | |
QPR on Saturday means they celebrated promotion as the results | :19:12. | :19:16. | |
came in. I was in the car and my wife and daughter listen to the | :19:17. | :19:20. | |
radio. When we got to where we were going it was almost full time and so | :19:21. | :19:25. | |
it was quite good timing. There has been a togetherness right throughout | :19:26. | :19:28. | |
the club. I am really pleased for the players and the fans and the | :19:29. | :19:31. | |
owners and the staff here. A lot of hard work has gone into the season | :19:32. | :19:35. | |
so far and it would be nice to finish off with a good run. If they | :19:36. | :19:41. | |
do win their remaining six games they will finish the league with the | :19:42. | :19:45. | |
highest points tally ever in the championship. | :19:46. | :19:48. | |
So it's been an utterly dominant season. But how have Leicester done | :19:49. | :19:52. | |
it? Well, on BBC Late Kick Off tonight there is an exclusive access | :19:53. | :19:55. | |
all areas feature filmed at the club's training ground, showing the | :19:56. | :19:58. | |
secrets behind the success. That's on BBC One tonight at 11.25pm. | :19:59. | :20:02. | |
Well, Derby County and Nottingham Forest have been in the chasing pack | :20:03. | :20:05. | |
behind Leicester for most of the season, but both suffered setbacks | :20:06. | :20:09. | |
at the weekend. Jeremy Nicholas reports. | :20:10. | :20:19. | |
It was not a happy return to Middlesbrough for Steve McLaren. He | :20:20. | :20:23. | |
took them to a UEFA cup final but if he is to take Derby to the Premier | :20:24. | :20:26. | |
league it looks like being through the play`offs. There was only one | :20:27. | :20:31. | |
goal. The defeat leaves Derby 11 points adrift at Burnley. They are | :20:32. | :20:37. | |
11 points ahead of seventh place. Nottingham Forest are five points | :20:38. | :20:41. | |
adrift of the play`off places after losing to Millwall. They took the | :20:42. | :20:45. | |
lead when this shot was deflected in. Stuart Pearce was on the cover | :20:46. | :20:51. | |
of the programme ahead of taking over as manager in July but they | :20:52. | :20:58. | |
could do with him now in defence. Millwall's second goal was Lee | :20:59. | :21:02. | |
Martin's first in four years. It is ten games now without a win for | :21:03. | :21:12. | |
Nottingham Forest. The home game with port fail looks vital now for | :21:13. | :21:20. | |
Notts County. They were sentenced to defeat with just one goal later on | :21:21. | :21:25. | |
as a consolation. Mansfield got all the points at Morecambe as three | :21:26. | :21:31. | |
wins in a row meant they `` the Stags are 12 and looking | :21:32. | :21:34. | |
comfortable. Off the field, Derby County have | :21:35. | :21:37. | |
made an official complaint about local rivals Nottingham Forest. | :21:38. | :21:40. | |
Derby have told the Football League they are still owed ?85,000 from | :21:41. | :21:43. | |
ticket sales for the recent match between the clubs at Derby's iPro | :21:44. | :21:48. | |
Stadium. A Forest spokesman says, the club are going through a period | :21:49. | :21:51. | |
of reconciliation with their accounts. Once the accounts are all | :21:52. | :21:54. | |
finalised, all outstanding monies will be paid. | :21:55. | :22:00. | |
Leicester Tigers Heineken Cup run ended at the quarterfinals stage. It | :22:01. | :22:06. | |
was always going to be tough for Tigers against Clermont Auvergne | :22:07. | :22:09. | |
who's home record is incredible. The Frenchmen haven't lost at home for | :22:10. | :22:13. | |
75 matches. Tigers recovered from 16`0 down to within three points of | :22:14. | :22:19. | |
their hosts, before losing 22`16. Leicester's Director of Rugby | :22:20. | :22:22. | |
Richard Cockerill says his players showed effort, pride and character, | :22:23. | :22:25. | |
but against a very good Clermont side they didn't quite have enough. | :22:26. | :22:31. | |
Cricket and Beeston Hockey Club are English Champions for the second | :22:32. | :22:33. | |
year in a row. Congratulations to Beeston Hockey | :22:34. | :22:56. | |
Club in Nottingham. They are the English champions for the second | :22:57. | :23:03. | |
year in a row. The Bees won a penalty shoot out against East | :23:04. | :23:06. | |
Grinstead in yesterday's grand final. That is the sport, what a | :23:07. | :23:10. | |
weekend! Thank you very much. | :23:11. | :23:14. | |
A question, are you one of the 3 million people glued to Great | :23:15. | :23:20. | |
British Sewing Bee on BBC Two? I have to confess that I am not. | :23:21. | :23:24. | |
That does not surprise me! I should be. | :23:25. | :23:27. | |
You will know that tomorrow night is the final and the final includes a | :23:28. | :23:31. | |
lady from Leicestershire. She is Heather Jacks. She says the | :23:32. | :23:35. | |
show has rekindled her love of needlework and she now plans to set | :23:36. | :23:41. | |
up her own selling charity. Amy Harris has been to meet her. | :23:42. | :23:48. | |
The Great British Sewing Bee has seen amateur so was putting the | :23:49. | :23:50. | |
needle and thread skills to the test. They are down to the final | :23:51. | :23:53. | |
three and they include Heather Jacks. It has been fantastic because | :23:54. | :23:59. | |
everybody has come at the job from a different angle, different ideas and | :24:00. | :24:04. | |
we have sort of spun off each other. It has been a really good | :24:05. | :24:09. | |
experience. Head teachers dress large but sowing has always been her | :24:10. | :24:14. | |
big pastern `` passion but it started out and it has out in the | :24:15. | :24:17. | |
city rather than choice. My father died when I was 12 and left us | :24:18. | :24:21. | |
basically penniless. I had already got a sewing machine from my aunt | :24:22. | :24:26. | |
and that was it, I could not afford anything so I made everything. | :24:27. | :24:30. | |
Heather's success has inspired her to turn her hobby into much more. | :24:31. | :24:35. | |
She has got plenty of sewing projects on the go and she is also | :24:36. | :24:40. | |
setting up a charity to pass on her skills to the next generation. At | :24:41. | :24:44. | |
the moment sowing is being elevated to the exotic and it is not. I | :24:45. | :24:49. | |
learned to sell at school and it has seen me through life. It is a | :24:50. | :24:52. | |
brilliant skill to have. Tomorrow night we will find out whether she | :24:53. | :24:56. | |
has won but for Heather the real reward has simply been taking part. | :24:57. | :25:03. | |
Fingers crossed, Heather! Yes, that is really nice. | :25:04. | :25:09. | |
Sowing charities have extraordinary. It does. | :25:10. | :25:12. | |
Now to a woman who does not even embroider the truth. Here is Kate | :25:13. | :25:14. | |
with the above forecast! embroider the truth. Here is | :25:15. | :25:18. | |
We have had some really lively weather around with squally weather | :25:19. | :25:23. | |
which did not last for long but it did make us stop and look. It | :25:24. | :25:27. | |
happened twice today with a weather front pushing in this morning and | :25:28. | :25:32. | |
another one following closely behind this afternoon which is the one that | :25:33. | :25:36. | |
brought the heavy downpours. It is clearing out of the way now and | :25:37. | :25:39. | |
behind it we are pulling in cooler and threat `` fresher air. | :25:40. | :25:47. | |
Temperatures are turning cooler. Temperatures `` pressure is building | :25:48. | :25:51. | |
from the South so things are settling down. It will be a lot | :25:52. | :25:56. | |
drier and brighter tomorrow with decent spells of sunshine into the | :25:57. | :26:01. | |
afternoon. The wind will stay quite strong and blustery. You can see on | :26:02. | :26:05. | |
the radar picture the squally weather we have had earlier today. | :26:06. | :26:09. | |
It is just about clearing our shores today and it will clear to the east | :26:10. | :26:13. | |
in the next few hours. We will be dry for the first half of the night | :26:14. | :26:17. | |
with clearer spells but the wind will strengthen and blowing a few | :26:18. | :26:21. | |
showers later on during the early hours of the morning. Decent clear | :26:22. | :26:25. | |
spells in between with the cooler and fresher air in place so things | :26:26. | :26:31. | |
turned cooler tonight. We will just about escape the grass frost thanks | :26:32. | :26:35. | |
to the strength of those wins. It will be dry and bright tomorrow with | :26:36. | :26:40. | |
sunshine and just a few showers here and there. As pressure starts to | :26:41. | :26:43. | |
build in the afternoon it will squeeze out the showers and it will | :26:44. | :26:48. | |
look pretty decent. Decent sunshine coming through. It will stay quite | :26:49. | :26:52. | |
trust `` blustery and the temperatures will be cooler. High | :26:53. | :26:56. | |
pressure stays close by for the rest of the week. A few spots of rain on | :26:57. | :27:00. | |
Thursday thanks to a week weather front but generally drier for the | :27:01. | :27:07. | |
rest of the week. We will be back with more on the | :27:08. | :27:10. | |
late news. | :27:11. | :27:14. |
