Welcome to Tuesday's Look North. On the programme tonight: Boys allowed | :00:05. | :00:07. | |
- one of the country's biggest fund-raising events aimed at women | :00:07. | :00:11. | |
allows boys up to 11 to take part after a campaign by a Chesterfield | :00:11. | :00:17. | |
mum. We'll be finding out what you think about changing the rules for | :00:17. | :00:19. | |
the Race For Life. Also tonight: Patrols are stepped | :00:19. | :00:23. | |
up after a prize winning terrier is savaged by another dog in a | :00:23. | :00:27. | |
Bradford park. And, the dream story for little | :00:27. | :00:37. | |
:00:37. | :00:37. | ||
girls - we meet the big girl with over 1000 My Little Ponies. | :00:37. | :00:42. | |
And I will be here just outside Rotherham of welcoming home of | :00:42. | :00:46. | |
world champion cyclist Ben Swift. The only problem is, he wasn't | :00:46. | :00:50. | |
expecting anyone to be here. And, it has been a day of sunshine and | :00:50. | :00:55. | |
showers today. There will be more showers to come this week. I will | :00:55. | :01:05. | |
:01:05. | :01:05. | ||
have the full forecast later in the Good evening. A mother from North | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
Derbyshire who campaigned to allow boys to take part in a charity race | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
aimed at women has succeeded in changing the rules across the | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
country, as a result of her story being taken up by Look North. | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
Claire Parker from Chesterfield wanted to run in the race with her | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
seven-year old son Connor, but she was told only boys under five could | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
run in the Race For Life, which raises money for cancer research. | :01:26. | :01:36. | |
:01:36. | :01:37. | ||
Emma Blackburn reports. Claire had always wanted to run | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
race for life with her seven-year- old son, by her side. He was the | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
person that help her recover from lymphoma after she was diagnosed | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
four years ago. But this year, Cancer Research said only boys | :01:49. | :01:54. | |
under five years old could take part, which excluded,. Clare began | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
a campaign to change that. After talking to Look North, the rules | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
were altered. I am over the moon. A lot of people did not think they | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
would change the rules, so it just goes to show that when you fight | :02:06. | :02:11. | |
for something you believe in, it can happen. Now I get to rise -- | :02:11. | :02:16. | |
race for my boy. Race For Life has been running for 18 years. Last | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
year, they trialled allowing boys aged 11 and under to raise, but | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
decided there was not enough interest. Now they say they have | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
listened to Claire and got further feedback from other supporters. As | :02:27. | :02:32. | |
a result, they have reinstated the boy's age limit to 11. We do have | :02:32. | :02:37. | |
boys and we should not penalise -- be penalised by having boys. I am | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
overwhelmed that I have got something changed but I feel | :02:40. | :02:45. | |
passionate about. Race For Life whenever breaking any laws. Under | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
the a quality act, there is an exemption for charities and some | :02:49. | :02:54. | |
sports regarding sex discrimination. But a local solicitor says club was | :02:54. | :02:59. | |
also within her rights to run with,. Technically she could say it is a | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
public road and he is going to run. He may not have a number in the | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
race. But there is support on both sides, and in these types of event, | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
a lot of women who would not normally run a race will do this | :03:13. | :03:18. | |
race because it is women only. Blair can now enter Chesterfield's | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
race for live with, in June, but her campaign does not end there. | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
She once the race to eventually include all men so she can continue | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
taking part with all her boys. Well, we did ask to speak to Cancer | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
Research UK but were told they weren't available for an interview. | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
However, we have had lots of response about this story on our | :03:37. | :03:44. | |
Facebook Page and by email. One email says the race should not | :03:44. | :03:49. | |
exclude people who only want to help cope with bereavement or shows | :03:49. | :03:54. | |
support for a loved one's battle with cancer. Another says, "thank | :03:54. | :03:59. | |
goodness someone has done something to include men for once. It is a | :03:59. | :04:04. | |
race for life after all. This is an example of blatant discrimination". | :04:04. | :04:09. | |
Wayne Gregory says, "as someone who has lost many family and friends I | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
have always wanted to take part in these events but have been refused | :04:13. | :04:18. | |
because I am a man. It is all very well allowing young boys to run the | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
race, but I would have thought cancer research would want as many | :04:21. | :04:26. | |
people as possible to raise money". Another says, "what a ridiculous | :04:26. | :04:31. | |
thing to say and do. I agree it should be for all but not for | :04:31. | :04:36. | |
sexism reasons, but to raise more money". To keep your comments -- | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
comments coming in. Next tonight, Look North has learnt | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
that Yorkshire's water could be used to help drought-stricken parts | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
of the south and east. For years, the giant Ladybower Reservoir in | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
the Peak District has supplied Sheffield. But now, Yorkshire Water | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
is in talks with companies from regions where there are hosepipe | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
bans about helping them by using the water stored here. Nicola Rees | :04:52. | :05:00. | |
reports. So far, Yorkshire has escaped a | :05:00. | :05:05. | |
hosepipe ban. In fact, our reservoirs are 90% full and people | :05:05. | :05:10. | |
like Carol Marsden near Doncaster or find that important. My daughter | :05:10. | :05:15. | |
is getting married in August and we want to get the garden looking nice. | :05:15. | :05:20. | |
If we had a hosepipe ban, it would be terrible. But in the North | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
Nottinghamshire town of Retford, a hosepipe ban is already in full | :05:23. | :05:28. | |
force. People here are supplied by Anglian Water, and their reserves | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
are seriously low. In a bid to address that problem, today, | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
Anglian Water is in talks with neighbouring suppliers Yorkshire | :05:35. | :05:40. | |
Water and Severn Trent. They are planning to trade water to help the | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
worst-hit areas. At the moment, Yorkshire Water taking a certain | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
amount of water from the Ladybower Reservoir. If they did not need | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
quite as much for their area, we could release that into the River | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
Derwent. It may be possible later in the year to release more water | :05:55. | :06:00. | |
and help Anglian out even more. This enormous reservoir in the Peak | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
District is owned by Severn Trent, but also supplies 50 billion litres | :06:03. | :06:08. | |
a day to Yorkshire Water customers in nearby Sheffield as part of a | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
long-standing agreement between the two companies. Yorkshire Water told | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
us that in the spirit of collaboration, they are now | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
considering giving up their supplies from this reservoir to | :06:19. | :06:24. | |
help other drought-stricken areas. The question is, could Yorkshire | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
cope without the Ladybower Reservoir? The talks are at an | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
early stage, and Yorkshire Water says maintaining supplies here is | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
still the priority. But, if the move goes ahead, it would not be | :06:35. | :06:40. | |
the first time that one region has helped another. In the mid-90s, | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
Yorkshire's supplies ran so low that convoys of water tankers were | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
sent in from Northumberland. Almost two decades later, it seems | :06:47. | :06:53. | |
Yorkshire is being called upon to return the favour. | :06:53. | :07:02. | |
Later in the programme: Are the Bradford Bulls back in business? | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
Rugby League fans dig deep but have they raised the �500,000 needed to | :07:06. | :07:12. | |
keep the club alive? Patrols have been stepped up in a | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
Bradford park after a prize winning dog was savaged by a dog resembling | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
a pit bull terrier. The four-year- old Bedlington Terrier was left | :07:19. | :07:21. | |
with horrific injuries after the incident at Victoria Park in | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
Oakenshaw. Small children were playing nearby at the time. You may | :07:26. | :07:35. | |
:07:36. | :07:38. | ||
find some of the pictures in Ian White's report upsetting. | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
This is my dog, who has been attacked. She is not herself at all. | :07:42. | :07:49. | |
She is not happy. Bradford dog lover Paul Rhodes showed me her | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
award winning Bedlington Terrier, now recovering back at home after | :07:51. | :07:56. | |
an horrific attack by a pit bull type dog that was not on a lead. | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
took one look at her and in a split-second it grabbed hold of her | :08:00. | :08:06. | |
shoulder and it will stir in the air several times. -- tossed her in | :08:06. | :08:11. | |
the air. Then it lay on top of that. The dog was rushed to an emergency | :08:11. | :08:16. | |
vet and spent the night on a drip. She has got big cuts and bruises on | :08:16. | :08:22. | |
her robes and legs. The four-year- old dog is normally a confident | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
companion who has taken numerous prizes around Yorkshire at dog | :08:26. | :08:33. | |
shows. She has won at 16 results, a gold medal, and she has done three | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
exams in he'll work. Within a split second, she is now going to be | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
scarred for work. This savage attack happened in Victoria Park at | :08:41. | :08:46. | |
around 5pm on Sunday evening. It is a popular area with dog-walkers, | :08:46. | :08:51. | |
and children were playing behind me here. If you have a big dog, just | :08:51. | :08:56. | |
be in mind that that dog can do a lot of damage in a short space of | :08:56. | :09:02. | |
time. That is to consider putting it on a lead if you are around | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
other dogs and children. A experts so well trained dogs should rarely | :09:06. | :09:12. | |
pose a problem, but did advise pet owners: however distressing it may | :09:12. | :09:18. | |
seem, resist getting in the middle of those dogs because we know that | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
they can cause severe injury to people as well as other dogs. | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
man who was with the dog that attacked this terrier left the | :09:25. | :09:29. | |
scene without leaving his details. Bradford council says it will be | :09:29. | :09:33. | |
stepping up dog warden patrols in the area. In other news now, and | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
the Respect Party is to fight a third of the seats being contested | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
at next month's local elections in Bradford. It is the biggest | :09:39. | :09:43. | |
campaign ever fought by the party in a northern city. After the | :09:43. | :09:45. | |
victory of George Galloway at the Bradford West by-election, Respect | :09:45. | :09:48. | |
said it would target Bradford at the local government elections. It | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
is currently one of the most closely contested councils in | :09:51. | :09:56. | |
Yorkshire. Labour runs it but is one short of an overall majority. | :09:56. | :09:58. | |
In the recent past, the Conservatives have also been in | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
power in Bradford with the Liberal Democrats the third largest party | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
in the city. Tributes have been paid to a | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
Yorkshire soldier who died more than two months after being injured | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
in an explosion in Afghanistan. 26- year-old Corporal Jack Stanley from | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
Todmarden served with the Queen's Royal Hussars. He died at the Queen | :10:15. | :10:23. | |
Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham on Sunday. | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
Police want to trace these two men in connection with an alleged | :10:26. | :10:30. | |
serious sexual assault in Sheffield last October. A 48-year-old woman | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
was allegedly raped after meeting the men in a city centre bar. Both | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
are described as black and of slim build, one with a defined goatee | :10:37. | :10:39. | |
beard. Anyone with information should contact South Yorkshire | :10:39. | :10:44. | |
Police. Police are growing increasingly | :10:44. | :10:48. | |
concerned for the safety of an 82- year-old man who has gone missing | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
from his home in Rotherham. Ernest Lancaster, who has Alzheimers, was | :10:51. | :10:56. | |
last seen in the Brinsworth area on Saturday afternoon. Police say he | :10:56. | :11:02. | |
is vulnerable and taking medication for a heart complaint. | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
A special service to remember Caroline Stuttle who was murdered | :11:05. | :11:08. | |
in Australia ten years ago is taking place at York Minster this | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
evening. The nineteen-year-old died after being robbed and pushed off a | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
bridge in Bundaburg by a drug addict. Her killer, Ian Previte, | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
was sentenced to life imprisonment. Her family and friends will light | :11:19. | :11:29. | |
:11:29. | :11:32. | ||
candles in memory of Caroline. It is our tame year anniversary. We | :11:32. | :11:37. | |
felt it was important for people to remember Caroline. So many people | :11:37. | :11:40. | |
have been so supportive over the years, we thought it was a good | :11:40. | :11:45. | |
idea to all get together and light a candle, and may be light a candle | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
in memory of those who have lost people. | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
And part of the legacy of Caroline is now that this family offers | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
advice worldwide to other backpackers. Their big message is | :11:57. | :12:01. | |
that ethnic -- anyone should try to take your handbag or backpack, let | :12:01. | :12:05. | |
it go. Before 7pm: We're live in Rotherham as Yorkshire's latest | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
cycling superstar comes home with a clutch of medals from the world | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
championships in Australia. And, we meet the big girl with a | :12:12. | :12:22. | |
:12:22. | :12:24. | ||
little girl's passion for the toy What was your favourite child had | :12:25. | :12:29. | |
toy? I collected football memorabilia. I | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
used to have all the teams. My Little Ponies was a little after | :12:34. | :12:38. | |
my time. Only a little! Sport, and the Bradford Bulls have | :12:38. | :12:42. | |
today announced that they have raised the �500,000 they need to | :12:42. | :12:46. | |
stay temporarily in business. That is only part of the story. They | :12:46. | :12:51. | |
still need to raise another �500,000 to avoid going into | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
administration. A local MP has raised concerns about the true | :12:54. | :13:00. | |
scale of financial problems at the club. | :13:00. | :13:03. | |
Bulls fans watching their team against Salford in March will not | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
have realised the financial problems behind the scenes. The | :13:06. | :13:10. | |
club announced they had just weeks to raise �1 million if they were to | :13:10. | :13:16. | |
stay in business. They said that things had come to a head. Their | :13:16. | :13:21. | |
bank, RBS, said they had no choice but to reduce the club's overdraft | :13:21. | :13:25. | |
facility following their sale of the least of the stadium to pay | :13:25. | :13:29. | |
debts to the Rugby Football League. The bowls so be needed to raise | :13:29. | :13:34. | |
�500,000 within to avoid going out of business. They fell just so -- | :13:34. | :13:38. | |
short, but were given an extension until midnight yesterday, which | :13:38. | :13:42. | |
they today confirmed they have achieved. This has given them a | :13:42. | :13:49. | |
window of around 10 - 12 weeks to raise the next �500,000. Public | :13:49. | :13:54. | |
donations and auction of memorabilia and a crowd of nearly | :13:54. | :13:58. | |
21,000 for their win against Leeds rhinos has helped achieve their | :13:58. | :14:02. | |
first target. In a statement issued today, their chief executive has | :14:02. | :14:12. | |
:14:12. | :14:20. | ||
My concerns are the money has come from people who are hard-working. I | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
need a sustainable long-term future for the club. I hope we can find | :14:24. | :14:28. | |
answers to some of the questions about the situation with the bank, | :14:28. | :14:33. | |
where we are with the tax bill, and what happened with the Rugby League. | :14:33. | :14:38. | |
Then people can understand problems. Yesterday, Bradford Bulls recorded | :14:38. | :14:46. | |
a win. As they look to raise a further �500,000, a quick way to | :14:46. | :14:50. | |
achieve this might be to sell player assets. It remains unclear | :14:50. | :14:56. | |
how deep the financial problems actually are. | :14:56. | :14:59. | |
Football now, and do you understand what is going on at Huddersfield? | :14:59. | :15:02. | |
Or Leeds for that matter? They are both losing and in Leeds' case, | :15:02. | :15:05. | |
they have blown their play-off hopes. Stand up Wednesday on a | :15:05. | :15:08. | |
brilliant run. And over at Rotherham - call him colourful, | :15:08. | :15:10. | |
certainly controversial, and you have summed up the Millers' new | :15:10. | :15:16. | |
manager to a tee. Steve Evans. Well, we will get the round-up in just a | :15:16. | :15:26. | |
:15:26. | :15:31. | ||
moment with Paul Ogden. First we can speak to him in Rotherham. | :15:31. | :15:36. | |
A very simple statement to make. Ben Swift is a world champion | :15:36. | :15:41. | |
cyclist. We knew he was a start but he has just come back from | :15:41. | :15:46. | |
Australia with three medals at we will talk to him very shortly. The | :15:46. | :15:51. | |
answer to your questions, why has Steve Evans gone to Rotherham? It | :15:51. | :16:01. | |
:16:01. | :16:07. | ||
is full of lovely people, that his Rotherham United made headlines | :16:07. | :16:14. | |
over the weekend by enticing star A -- Steve Evans to be their manager. | :16:14. | :16:20. | |
He will have liked what he saw from the stands. At a 1-0 win means he | :16:20. | :16:27. | |
can seriously push for the play- offs. Bradford City's defeat at | :16:28. | :16:31. | |
Shrewsbury showed a candidate for the ugly his goal of the whole | :16:31. | :16:35. | |
season. It was the only one of the match, leaving Bradford are still | :16:35. | :16:41. | |
nervous about their League status. One division up, Chesterfield would | :16:41. | :16:44. | |
have been condemned to dropping out of League One of they failed | :16:44. | :16:51. | |
against Wycombe. They are one of 4- 0 instead. Are they still need | :16:51. | :16:55. | |
victories in every one of their four final matches. Sheffield | :16:55. | :16:59. | |
Wednesday dominated the League One Promotions story over Easter. | :16:59. | :17:08. | |
Yesterday 3-0 win lifted them into second spot, thanks to goals from | :17:08. | :17:13. | |
Nadine. The match at Rochelle could cause another swap over. The Hull | :17:13. | :17:18. | |
City is obsessed for the battle for second place. Fans camped out | :17:18. | :17:23. | |
overnight last night to get a one a ticket for the final away match at | :17:23. | :17:27. | |
Brentford. Huddersfield Town were the victims of Wednesday's strength | :17:27. | :17:31. | |
on Saturday. We were stripped -- suffering the after-effects at | :17:31. | :17:35. | |
Bournemouth. They were stifled upfront, vulnerable at the back, | :17:35. | :17:40. | |
they lost to Ivan 0. That is a habit they need to cut out if they | :17:40. | :17:46. | |
are to contest the play-offs. Whoever goes to the Championship, | :17:46. | :17:51. | |
we can now assume that Doncaster Rovers will not be there. They are | :17:51. | :17:55. | |
not down yet after yesterday tour from one defeat to Burnley but will | :17:55. | :17:59. | |
be if they do not win against Portsmouth. Even Barnsley cannot be | :17:59. | :18:06. | |
sure of their status. The point we earnt at Blackpool was a good | :18:06. | :18:11. | |
investment. David Perkins redirected to the shot for a goal. | :18:11. | :18:17. | |
Leeds United suffered a sending off. They were beaten 2 Ivan 0 up by | :18:17. | :18:26. | |
Derby County. It was said there will never be another Leeds United | :18:26. | :18:33. | |
or like this. Still plenty of turns left in the | :18:33. | :18:38. | |
football season. One thing we can be certain of, as I said, here is a | :18:38. | :18:43. | |
very big party. It is for Ben Swift who has come back from at the Track | :18:43. | :18:46. | |
Cycling World Championships with three medals, gold in the scratch | :18:46. | :18:50. | |
race, two Sylvans, too. Actually, he thought he was coming home to a | :18:50. | :18:55. | |
quiet night in with his girlfriend and family. A surprise welcome with | :18:55. | :18:59. | |
60 people from a Rotherham. What a welcome. It was unbelievable. It | :18:59. | :19:05. | |
was a big surprise. I really appreciated it. I suspect you are | :19:05. | :19:09. | |
very well loved around here. I do not want to embarrass you! There is | :19:09. | :19:13. | |
a tight sense of community. I have a great bunch of family and friends. | :19:13. | :19:18. | |
They support the 100%. It is fantastic to come back to this. | :19:18. | :19:22. | |
rest of Yorkshire and the UK are wondering where your career will go. | :19:22. | :19:27. | |
We saw you in the Tour de France. More people watch that in Yorkshire | :19:27. | :19:32. | |
than ever before. You are back on the track now winning medals. | :19:32. | :19:37. | |
both, so back to the road after this. There is a race in three | :19:37. | :19:41. | |
weeks' time. Then we will decide where the Olympics. That fantastic | :19:41. | :19:45. | |
win in the scratch race and all the other things you achieved, where | :19:45. | :19:50. | |
does that say? Is that a secondary thing? 4th a bit. It is a massive | :19:50. | :19:55. | |
achievement for myself. I have been after for a long time. Now I have | :19:56. | :20:01. | |
to switch my focus back to the road. You are a workaholic. You of going | :20:01. | :20:06. | |
on your bike. That is always the case with use cyclists. Definitely. | :20:06. | :20:10. | |
Is a great sport. You're out in the open. There is only one problem. | :20:10. | :20:15. | |
That is you know your girlfriend cannot be trusted ever again. She | :20:15. | :20:19. | |
promised you a quiet night in a liquor is here. Was it a difficult | :20:19. | :20:27. | |
thing to organise? Not quite. I only had a short time to sort this | :20:27. | :20:33. | |
out. I got his agent on the phone. I could not have pulled it together | :20:33. | :20:38. | |
without all these people. Absolutely. What was it like for | :20:38. | :20:42. | |
you watching him on the track in Australia question a I wanted to | :20:42. | :20:48. | |
drive. I was shouting at the television, going, gone. -- I | :20:48. | :20:56. | |
wanted to drive. Congratulations, Ben Swift. When did anyone in | :20:56. | :21:02. | |
Rotherham ever need an excuse for a party? We will stay as long as we | :21:02. | :21:12. | |
:21:12. | :21:18. | ||
can exact -- as long as we can. In our late bulletin we will have | :21:18. | :21:21. | |
news of Sheffield United's game at Rochdale, when they will be trying | :21:21. | :21:24. | |
to move ahead of their neighbours Wednesday into second place in | :21:24. | :21:27. | |
League One. Do not forget Radio Sheffield will have live commentary | :21:27. | :21:34. | |
on that match. Now for a story that will rekindle | :21:34. | :21:37. | |
some happy childhood memories for all you little girls out there. A | :21:37. | :21:39. | |
woman from South Yorkshire has turned her passion for her | :21:39. | :21:43. | |
favourite toy from the 1980s into an adult obsession. Sarah Butler | :21:43. | :21:53. | |
:21:53. | :22:02. | ||
has more than 1,000 My Little Ponies. | :22:02. | :22:08. | |
Welcome to the single bedroom that in Barnsley and a day way to the | :22:08. | :22:17. | |
1980s. -- Gateway. In here, more than 2,000 eyes stared down at you. | :22:17. | :22:23. | |
Everything is My Little Pony, including the duvet, curtains and | :22:23. | :22:27. | |
clock. Sarah Butler loved the creatures as a small girl but it | :22:27. | :22:31. | |
was later in life for the childhood games turned into an ad obsession. | :22:31. | :22:36. | |
It came back when I had to leave college and was terrified of the | :22:36. | :22:41. | |
idea of having to grow up. I looked for something that would remind me | :22:41. | :22:45. | |
of when I was younger. I saw some on the day and bought them. It | :22:46. | :22:50. | |
escalated from there. Now she is 29 and married, she has one of the | :22:50. | :22:53. | |
biggest collections in the country. She talks to fellow collectors on | :22:53. | :23:02. | |
the internet every day. They have a certain magic about them. How do | :23:02. | :23:08. | |
you feel when you come into this room? Happy. It cheers me up. We | :23:08. | :23:18. | |
:23:18. | :23:24. | ||
can't sit down. It makes me smile. -- it calms me down. | :23:24. | :23:28. | |
I've stopped asking how much they cost or how many she is expecting. | :23:28. | :23:33. | |
When they turn up, that is fine. I like them. I think they are nice. I | :23:33. | :23:38. | |
like the new ones more than the old ones. I have a couple in here that | :23:38. | :23:43. | |
our mind. I probably should not admit that? Too late for that. Do | :23:43. | :23:49. | |
not worry, I will not tell people you watch the DVDs and know their | :23:49. | :23:59. | |
:23:59. | :23:59. | ||
names. At least it makes birthdays nice and easy. | :23:59. | :24:08. | |
What did you collect? I wanted to be different so I collected 10. | :24:08. | :24:14. | |
I am not surprised at that. I bet you were a My Little Pony girl. Yes. | :24:14. | :24:24. | |
:24:24. | :24:25. | ||
I lost count at how many I had. I had to grow up when I went to the | :24:25. | :24:35. | |
:24:35. | :24:36. | ||
The weather has turned more seasonal. Perfect conditions for | :24:36. | :24:46. | |
:24:46. | :24:47. | ||
rainbows today. The next picture is a beautiful sunset. Finally, two | :24:47. | :24:55. | |
lambs. Keep your photographs coming in. We have reached 12 degrees | :24:55. | :24:59. | |
today. That is average for the time of year. We have April showers. | :24:59. | :25:03. | |
They will continue as we head through the week. In between, there | :25:03. | :25:08. | |
will be spells of sunshine. You can see, the reason why, low-pressure | :25:08. | :25:17. | |
is never too far away. The isobars mean that it will not be quite as | :25:17. | :25:21. | |
windy. Where the speckles of cloud car, that is where the showers are. | :25:21. | :25:27. | |
As we head through this evening, there are one or two showers. They | :25:27. | :25:34. | |
will die away. Elsewhere, it is going to be mostly dry. Clear | :25:35. | :25:44. | |
:25:45. | :25:47. | ||
spells at first. The wind will die down. We will see a touch of ground | :25:47. | :25:57. | |
:25:57. | :25:57. | ||
frost. The Sunday Times... -- son times. Those are your high waters. | :25:57. | :26:02. | |
Tomorrow, for most, it will be a dry start with broken cloud. A few | :26:02. | :26:06. | |
showers will develop as we go through the morning. Wintry over | :26:06. | :26:11. | |
the tops of that hills. After lunch, the showers will get going. They | :26:11. | :26:17. | |
will be more frequent than today. Some will be heavy and thundery. In | :26:17. | :26:22. | |
between, there will be spells of sunshine. If you avoid the showers, | :26:22. | :26:26. | |
it will feel pleasant, not as breezy as today. Temperatures will | :26:26. | :26:36. | |
reach 11 degrees. The winds will gust. The weather does not change | :26:36. | :26:39. | |
through the week. Ground frost overnight, during the day, sunny | :26:39. | :26:43. |
