:15:48. > :15:54.Before I start the talk I w`s just going to say, to ask, that of any of

:16:06. > :16:16.a signal. I am with the current owner. And you have done so much
:16:17. > :16:20.work on this place? We found out that 17,000 people came to view this
:16:21. > :16:23.house in 1960 and that was just a challenge to us. How many pdople
:16:24. > :16:27.could we find that have viewed this has? At the same time we went to the
:16:28. > :16:39.bitter Tory and Albert Musetm and found a box of correspondence ``
:16:40. > :16:43.Victoria and Albert Museum. It was talking about the bravery of the
:16:44. > :16:48.builder who built this housd and we were interested to find out why they
:16:49. > :16:53.did not buy it. What did people think about it? People were
:16:54. > :16:58.perturbed or excited by the amount of glass. Some people thought it
:16:59. > :17:00.would be like being a fish hn a fishbowl and other people thought it
:17:01. > :17:07.would be quite Californian `nd luxurious. Not everyone lovdd it as
:17:08. > :17:12.I found out earlier when I spoke to a lady who visited here in 0960 when
:17:13. > :17:19.it was a show home. We also came and saw what people had written in the
:17:20. > :17:25.visitor's book. It was actu`lly very interesting. Some were for the idea
:17:26. > :17:33.and some were negative. I think one was a bit brutal because it said,
:17:34. > :17:44.very good as a filling stathon. A little bit cheeky. Not sure what the
:17:45. > :17:53.architect would think about. The play will run on Saturday and Sunday

:24:57. > :25:00.our temperatures today ` sthll lovely and warm ` but furthdr north
:25:01. > :25:12.where the cloud has been totgher to clear they're a little lower. Still
:25:13. > :25:17.cloud in the forecast for the next few days ` there will be sole sunny
:25:18. > :25:21.spells and pleasant brightndss, and our winds start to pick up through
:25:22. > :25:24.Sunday. The blanket of cloud sitting over us for much of the morning has
:25:25. > :25:28.started to thin and break dtring the afternoon ` and further south and
:25:29. > :25:32.east it's been brighter ` overnight the cloud will continue to break up
:25:33. > :25:35.and with those clear spells temperatures will fall away to give
:25:36. > :25:39.us a chilly night for some places, and with light winds, in shdltered
:25:40. > :25:42.spots that could lead to sole mist and fog patches developing. Those
:25:43. > :25:45.are the values in the towns and cities ` in rural spots it will be
:25:46. > :25:48.cooler. So that mist and fog clearing during the morning and we
:25:49. > :25:51.will get some pleasant breaks in the cloud though Saturday morning `
:25:52. > :25:56.which will help to lift those temperatures ` highs of 21 celcius
:25:57. > :26:03.tomorrow ` a nice day. Then very little changes ` another sililar
:26:04. > :26:05.night to tonight. Although for eastern parts there will be a little
:26:06. > :26:08.more cloud. And that could be thick enough to squeeze out a few spots of
:26:09. > :26:12.drizzle ` combined with somd slightly stronger winds that will
:26:13. > :26:18.help to keep temperatures up and stop any mist or fog patches
:26:19. > :26:20.developing. Lows of 10 celchus. Sunday ` another similar dax to come
:26:21. > :26:24.` again there will be plentx of cloud about ` although it whll break
:26:25. > :26:33.up to give us some good spells of sunshine. The best of those in the
:26:34. > :26:36.west ` further east that cloud could squeeze out some drizzle. Whnds are
:26:37. > :26:39.little stronger ` but we should still see our temperatures getting
