mother and daughter in Southport have revealed that the women died | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
at different times. The bodies of Angela Holgate and her mother Alice | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
Huyton were found at Angela's home in Churchtown on Saturday. | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
Detectives also say that Ms Holgate's lodger Barry Morrow was | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
spotted in calai driving her car at the weekend. Our Merseyside | :01:14. | :01:17. | |

-- Calais. What have the police said? Angela Holgate had not been | :01:31. | :01:38. | |
seen here for week. She had been built. Her mother had gone mad see | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
her. The bodies of both women were found at his property on Saturday | :01:42. | :01:48. | |
evening. Angela Holgate, police say, had been dead for longer than her | :01:48. | :01:54. | |
mother. Both women had been asphyxiated. We do not know how. | :01:54. | :01:59. | |
The bodies of both women were found in the same part of the property. | :01:59. | :02:09. | |

There has been a possible sighting of Barry Morrow? Barry Morrow had | :02:09. | :02:17. | |
been the lodger for four years. She -- he had pleaded guilty to | :02:17. | :02:24. | |
assaulting a woman in Southport, but that was neither of the woman | :02:24. | :02:32. | |
he were found here. The last -- the last sighting they have seen have | :02:32. | :02:42. | |

Barry Morrow has been cited in support. Officially, he is the last | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
person who has seen annus and Angela a life. He might have | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
information for the investigation. -- alive. What has been the | :02:51. | :02:59. | |
reaction of people in Southport? This is an active inquiry. Forensic | :02:59. | :03:06. | |
investigation has have been taken out at the property. One neighbour | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
said she was too upset to speak. Many people have been shaken by | :03:11. | :03:16. | |
this double murder. I think it is really frightening. It is something | :03:16. | :03:22. | |
that you never expect. It is a shame. It should not happen. But it | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
has done. It is not something which you would really expect to see in | :03:26. | :03:32. | |
this neighbourhood at all. Police say that Barry Morrow is not a | :03:32. | :03:41. | |
suspect, but is the man who possibly solve the last -- who saw | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
them alive last. He is not returning took -- calls to his | :03:45. | :03:55. | |

The mother of a man with learning difficulties - who collapsed and | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
died after being harassed by youths - has told a coroner she has no | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
doubt that his long-suffering torment contributed to his death. | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
David Askew, who was 64, died in March last year outside his home in | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
Hattersley. At an inquest into his death, David's brother Brian said | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
the harassment was so bad the family sometimes had to sit in the | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
dark. Abbie Jones reports. David Askew's family spoke today of | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
almost 30 years of harassment. Some captured on this mobile phone | :04:22. | :04:29. | |
footage. Eggs and tomatoes thrown at their former home in Malandra | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
Crescent. Windows repeatedly smashed. David, they said, was | :04:31. | :04:36. | |
called names like lunatic and pelted with sticks and stones. | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
Youths would follow him, demanding money and cigarettes. His 90-year- | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
old mother, Lizzie, said her son would be in tears. Today she cried | :04:42. | :04:51. | |
at the end of her evidence. On the innate -- of the night David Askew | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
died, used have been shouting abuse at him from the garden below. He | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
was picking up newspaper that had been strewn around the garden | :04:58. | :05:05. | |
outside. His mother said that this torment contributed to David's | :05:05. | :05:11. | |
death. I know in my heart it is true. David's elder brother Brian | :05:11. | :05:13. | |
described living with the harrassment as terrible. It went on, | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
he said, for 29 years, six days a week at nightime. Sometimes he said, | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
they had to sit in the dark. He stayed after his evidence to | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
confront this man, Kial Cottingham. The 20-year-old pleaded guilty to | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
harassing David Askew before he died. Brian today asked him | :05:26. | :05:33. | |
repeatedly, why? Kial Cottingham said I don't know. I joined in with | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
my mates, being in a crowd. I regret doing it in the past. He | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
denied being there the night David died. The coroner John Pollard | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
asked him "You took advantage of a vulnerable person, didn't you? Do | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
you agree it's despicable cowardly behaviour?" Yes, Kial answered. The | :05:46. | :05:56. | |

A Sri Lankan man who was murdered in a shop where he worked in | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
Liverpool has been named as Mahesh Wickramasingha. The 30 year old was | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
stabbed in the neck in a newsagents on Kingsway in Huyton last Tuesday. | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
Police are keen to talk to the drivers of a white Ford Transit Van | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
and a dark coloured Vauxhall Astra that were seen in the area at the | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
time. Former Manchester United midfielder | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
Ronnie Wallwork has been jailed for fifteen months for selling on parts | :06:20. | :06:22. | |
from stolen high-performance cars. The thirty-four year old had his | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
footballing career cut short after nearly losing his life in a bar | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
stabbing four years ago. Since then he set up a legitimate scrapyard | :06:28. | :06:35. | |
business. His lawyer said he had 'succumbed to temptation.' | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
The Trust that runs south Cumbria's hospitals is facing an | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
investigation by the health ombudsman into an incident at | :06:40. | :06:42. | |
Barrow's maternity unit. It follows the revelation that midwives had | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
used an obscenity in the title of an internal email following the | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
death of 9 day old baby Joshua Titcombe three years ago. There is | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
already a police investigation into the deaths of a number of babies | :06:52. | :07:02. | |

Manchester City Council has been condemned in the Commons for axing | :07:08. | :07:16. | |
some school crossing patrols. An MP told the Commons saying -- said the | :07:16. | :07:26. | |
:07:26. | :07:36. | ||
It is perhaps one of the cruellest illnesses there is. For dementia, | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
there is no cure - it is a slow, progressive and painful illness | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
which slowly robs those who have it of their memories, their | :07:42. | :07:44. | |
personalities and their independence. For those who have it | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
it is deeply distressing. And for those who must watch someone they | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
love slip away - to look the same but not be there - is difficult to | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
describe. All this week we're looking at dementia, talking to the | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
people living with it and alongside it and looking at some of the | :07:57. | :07:59. | |
issues around the illness. Here's our health correspondent Laura | :07:59. | :08:01. | |
Yates. If the reality of this illness is | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
If the reality of this illness is stark so too are the statistics. | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
There are more than 82,000 people here in the North West with some | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
form of dementia. In 10 years that figure is expected to rise to | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
almost 108,000 - an increase of more than 30%. And yet for every 10 | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
people who have dementia just 4 are diagnosed and therefore getting the | :08:16. | :08:24. | |
treatment they need. For hospital consultant Peter | :08:24. | :08:28. | |
Dunlop that was the easy part. He was told he had Alzheimer's disease | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
almost three years ago - forgetting things he should have known the | :08:31. | :08:41. | |
:08:41. | :08:50. | ||
That is between 10 and 11 on the little one. The Big One is one, 2, | :08:50. | :08:55. | |
3, 4, 5... It is the most simple of tasks but one Peter finds | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
impossible. He can see the hands of the clock. He knows what they say | :08:59. | :09:08. | |
but not what they mean. 11 o'clock? I have lost it completely. Peter | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
was a consultant obstetrician. When three years ago he started to | :09:12. | :09:17. | |
forget things. Small things but forget things. Small things but | :09:17. | :09:22. | |
things he'd always known. Going to prescribe medication for my | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
patients, and there could not remember the name of the truck. At | :09:26. | :09:35. | |
the same time, everything seemed to go blank. Nothing was there. He was | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
diagnosed with Alzheimers on a friday. He gave up work on the | :09:39. | :09:45. | |
Monday. In a way it was a relief, because I knew something was wrong. | :09:45. | :09:52. | |
It is not nice to know it, but if you know the bees, it is still -- | :09:52. | :09:58. | |
easier to deal with it. I use this thing five times a week. For now - | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
the doctor in Peter is doing all he can to slow down the progression of | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
his disease. He's taking a drug called aricept - and exercising his | :10:05. | :10:10. | |
body and brain as much as he can. Can you remember what that was | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
about? I have forgotten. And yet remembering even the smallest | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
things is becoming more difficult. It's Peter's wife who now makes his | :10:18. | :10:24. | |
appointments for him - and reminds him of them too. Are you fearful | :10:24. | :10:33. | |
about your future? Yes. It is the long-term complete loss of control | :10:33. | :10:39. | |
but worries me. OK, that may be some time down the road, but when | :10:39. | :10:47. | |
you cannot do anything, I think that is very demeaning. It is very | :10:47. | :10:53. | |
hard for anyone who is caring for you. It is distressing for them as | :10:53. | :11:03. | |
:11:03. | :11:09. | ||
Tomorrow night we'll hear from Rose and Doug. Doug has Alzheimers. Rose | :11:09. | :11:13. | |
- his wife of more than 35 years is his carer and for one week she's | :11:13. | :11:20. | |
been keeping a video diary for us - always we want to hear from you - | :11:20. | :11:23. | |
and your experiences of dementia. Please do get in touch with us - | :11:23. | :11:27. | |
either on email, via our facebook page or twitter account - please do | :11:27. | :11:29. | |
tell us your stories. There wasn't much to see in the | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
shop windows of one Lancashire town today. The windows had been blacked | :11:32. | :11:35. | |
out in protest at plans to build a Tesco on the outskirts of | :11:35. | :11:38. | |
Barnoldswick. The shop keepers said they wanted to show what their town | :11:38. | :11:41. | |
centre would be like if the supermarket plan is approved. Tesco | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
insist their store would create jobs and bring prosperity to the | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
area, as our Chief Reporter, Dave Guest, explains. | :11:48. | :11:51. | |
It's a traditional town centre with butchers and bakers - though | :11:51. | :12:01. | |
candlestick makers are in short supply. Lots of people come from | :12:01. | :12:05. | |
our way. They think it is lovely, all these shops. The town square, | :12:05. | :12:14. | |
we have lots of things on it. It is just nice. But today, shops are | :12:14. | :12:21. | |
blacking out their windows. Protest at Tesco arriving. It is not good | :12:21. | :12:29. | |
news here. We asked for -- full of passionate local businesses. We are | :12:29. | :12:39. | |
:12:39. | :12:39. | ||
fearful of losing all about trade. The shop keepers said they wanted | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
to show how they believe the town centre will look if Tesco are | :12:42. | :12:46. | |
allowed to build their store. Tesco allowed to build their store. Tesco | :12:46. | :12:51. | |
a point out that the -- they would be 175 jobs created. It would | :12:51. | :12:57. | |
inject �26 million in the local economy. They claim a survey of 400 | :12:57. | :13:05. | |
people say that only 19 % opposed people say that only 19 % opposed | :13:05. | :13:11. | |
their plan. But finding people in favour today has been difficult. | :13:11. | :13:17. | |
think it is too large a supermarket, I think it will destroy the town | :13:17. | :13:24. | |
centre. Neston in Wirral went through similar debates when | :13:24. | :13:26. | |
Sainsbury's announced plans to build a big store there some time | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
back. The store's now up and running. The Sainsbury's opened in | :13:29. | :13:35. | |
Neston last year. Overall, it does not have increased the trade in the | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
town centre has muttered as it would have liked to have seen. But | :13:38. | :13:42. | |
it has not decimated the town centre as badly as some would have | :13:42. | :13:50. | |
feared. Back in Barnoldswick the shopkeepers say they maintain their | :13:50. | :14:00. | |
:14:00. | :14:02. | ||
Not the first term or the last time to go through that. | :14:02. | :14:05. | |
99 years after it began, the Royal Variety Show arrived in Salford | :14:05. | :14:12. | |
today. The gala performance is being held at the Lowry Theatre in | :14:12. | :14:15. | |
front of the Princess Royal. Unless you've got a ticket, you | :14:15. | :14:19. | |
will not be able to see the show until it is shown on TV next week, | :14:19. | :14:22. | |
but our reporter Kate Simms has spent the day star spotting at the | :14:22. | :14:26. | |
theatre from where she joins us now. It looks a bit wet there. | :14:26. | :14:30. | |
It has actually stopped raining, it must know that royalty is on the | :14:30. | :14:40. | |
way. I have seen some fabulous dresses going in. Once all the | :14:40. | :14:46. | |
guests are seated, the Guest of Honour are -- the guest of honour, | :14:46. | :14:55. | |
the Princess Royal will arrive at. This is as far as we can get for | :14:55. | :14:58. | |
now because security is very tight here, obviously, but I did have | :14:58. | :15:03. | |
more luck when I had a nose around here earlier today. | :15:03. | :15:07. | |
Lights. Camera. Hail. But the weather could not stop the stars | :15:07. | :15:15. | |
descending on Salford today. I have played a smaller theatres. But this | :15:15. | :15:24. | |
is a big event. I love the people here, but I do not like the weather. | :15:24. | :15:28. | |
Davy Jones of the monkeys was born here. That is all I know about | :15:28. | :15:35. | |
Manchester. Salford as a different city? | :15:35. | :15:38. | |
At least one of them had some local knowledge. Jason Manford was born | :15:38. | :15:47. | |
here. I said Barry Manilow up to Bolton Road. We went there with his | :15:47. | :15:53. | |
entourage. We had access to some stars, but | :15:53. | :15:58. | |
security at the Lowry was tight and there was strictly no access | :15:58. | :16:01. | |
backstage. And they achillea the rehearsals | :16:01. | :16:07. | |
for the finale. It was an exciting day, too, for | :16:07. | :16:11. | |
the Lowry catering team. I have been taking things into the | :16:11. | :16:17. | |
dressing rooms. While one college's economics trip | :16:17. | :16:25. | |
got slightly diverted. We are looking out for Nicole Scherzinger. | :16:25. | :16:34. | |
The stars are having a well-earned rest. I was going to go out in | :16:34. | :16:42. | |
front, hands in front, and go like that. The it is pretty good. | :16:42. | :16:46. | |
think I just go like that. Let's hope the Princess Royal is | :16:46. | :16:54. | |
impressed. I have had a wonderful day. All at the stars are | :16:54. | :17:01. | |
considered professionals. The guests are late, and Princess Anne | :17:01. | :17:06. | |
has not arrived yet. But when she does get here, she will have all | :17:06. | :17:11. | |
wonderful evening. Other stars here are Leona Lewis, | :17:11. | :17:13. | |
Britain's Got Talent winner Jai McDowell, Barry Manilow, Il Divo, | :17:13. | :17:17. | |
Hayley Westenra - the list goes on. You will have to wait till it is | :17:17. | :17:21. | |
broadcast next week and at least you will be dry and warm - unlike | :17:21. | :17:24. | |
How exciting. Imagine being on a school trip and you bump into Tony | :17:24. | :17:34. | |
:17:34. | :17:35. | ||
Bennett. They may not have known who he was! | :17:35. | :17:39. | |
Sport now and, Richard, 64 teams in the third round of the FA Cup, and | :17:39. | :17:41. | |
somehow the draw conspired to pit Manchester City against Manchester | :17:41. | :17:45. | |
United? Yes, the fans just can't wait for | :17:45. | :17:50. | |
this one. It's the first time in more than 50 years that United have | :17:50. | :17:57. | |
played an FA Cup match at City's ground. And it's the first | :17:57. | :18:00. | |
opportunity for Sir Alex Ferguson to get revenge for that 6-1 | :18:00. | :18:03. | |
humiliation inflicted on his side by City in October and, of course, | :18:03. | :18:06. | |
the 1-0 defeat to Roberto Mancini's team in last season's FA Cup semi- | :18:06. | :18:12. | |
final. And of course, there are some other | :18:12. | :18:15. | |
intriguing ties involving our local sides? | :18:15. | :18:18. | |
Yes, Annabel, little Fleetwood Town, currently second in the Blue Square | :18:18. | :18:21. | |
Premier League, will get a money- spinning match against nearby | :18:21. | :18:31. | |
:18:31. | :18:37. | ||
Blackpool if they can beat Yeovil Macclesfield will play Bolton | :18:37. | :18:40. | |
Wanderers at the Moss Rose if they can overcome Chelmsford, while | :18:40. | :18:44. | |
Everton entertain non-league Tamworth. You'll remember the | :18:44. | :18:47. | |
Tamworth Two, well, the Staffordshire town is hoping it can | :18:47. | :18:50. | |
now become more famous for an FA Cup giant-killing than it was for | :18:50. | :19:00. | |
:19:00. | :19:00. | ||
its escaped pigs! Things you'd never that you would say at the | :19:00. | :19:03. | |
sports desk. That might be David v Goliath, but | :19:03. | :19:06. | |
City-United is a real clash of the Titans. Rio Ferdinand tweeted today | :19:06. | :19:10. | |
that he can't wait for the match. And as I found out in Manchester | :19:10. | :19:12. | |
today, the anticipation among supporters is intense. | :19:12. | :19:21. | |
64 balls. Just two clubs from Manchester. Surely not. Manchester | :19:21. | :19:30. | |
City. A out of all them balls, he picks Manchester United. Against | :19:30. | :19:34. | |
Manchester United. I could not believe it. It should have been the | :19:34. | :19:41. | |
final. And with last season's semi final | :19:41. | :19:44. | |
win for City and that 6-1 drubbing at Old Trafford fresh in the memory, | :19:44. | :19:48. | |
United want revenge. Bring it on. The nerve-wracking. That is a tough | :19:48. | :19:53. | |
one, but we have got a big revenge match. | :19:53. | :19:56. | |
The latest part of an increasingly fierce rivalry for the Premier | :19:56. | :19:59. | |
League's top two. City are still 5 points clear after | :19:59. | :20:06. | |
smashing 5 goals past Norwich. United stubbornly refusing to be | :20:06. | :20:11. | |
shouldered aside. Phil Jones' first goal in a United | :20:11. | :20:20. | |
shirt was enough to get the better of Villa. | :20:20. | :20:25. | |
United will hope to close the gap. In their next three matches, the | :20:25. | :20:28. | |
blues have tough fixtures against Chelsea, Arsenal and Stoke. | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
The reds' games are against a trio in the bottom half of the table - | :20:32. | :20:35. | |
Wolves, QPR and Fulham. Fed be get someone that is going to take over | :20:35. | :20:42. | |
from us, that is when they will start playing. There were arm has | :20:42. | :20:52. | |
:20:52. | :20:53. | ||
turned, and we are in the ascendancy. AC Milan at they say | :20:53. | :21:02. | |
that Manchester City have given them permission to talk to Tevez. | :21:02. | :21:06. | |
Liverpool could go as high as fifth in the Premier League if they win | :21:06. | :21:09. | |
at Fulham tonight. Kenny Dalglish's side will be without Lucas who is | :21:09. | :21:13. | |
out for the season with a cruciate ligament injury. | :21:13. | :21:17. | |
At the other end of the table, the big story is that the Yak is back. | :21:17. | :21:20. | |
The former Everton striker hit four for his new side Blackburn Rovers | :21:20. | :21:23. | |
as they beat Swansea. But did that assuage the anger of the fans who | :21:23. | :21:27. | |
want Steve Kean sacked as manager? Not a bit of it. Despite the 4-2 | :21:27. | :21:30. | |
win, they still called for him to go. Here's Ian Haslam. Winning has | :21:30. | :21:34. | |
been a rarity for Blackburn, but criticism of for Steve Kean has | :21:34. | :21:44. | |
:21:44. | :21:54. | ||
We all want the same thing, we want to see the club win, score goals, | :21:54. | :21:57. | |
climb the table. We have done that tonight and hopefully, the fans | :21:57. | :22:07. | |
tonight and hopefully, the fans will think we have played well. We | :22:07. | :22:14. | |
work together. The situation may have, we do not like it. When I was | :22:14. | :22:20. | |
there, the club was so well run. But now, the owners, I do not know | :22:20. | :22:24. | |
what they are doing. There is so much frustration towards the | :22:24. | :22:34. | |
:22:34. | :22:41. | ||
manager and the owners. I am worried about my Football Club will. | :22:41. | :22:44. | |
Before arriving at Blackburn, Yakubu was at Everton. They have | :22:44. | :22:47. | |
not been among the league's most prolific teams and lost 1-0 at home | :22:47. | :22:49. | |
to Stoke yesterday. Elsewhere another former Evertonian among the | :22:49. | :22:52. | |
goals was Mikel Arteta. He set Arsenal on their way to a 4-0 | :22:52. | :22:55. | |
victory at Wigan who are now bottom. In the Championship, Burnley have | :22:55. | :22:58. | |
gone from hovering above the relegation zone to closing in on | :22:58. | :23:01. | |
the play-off places after three wins in a week, the latest at West | :23:01. | :23:04. | |
Ham. Idle the lads are starting to believe in themselves. Sometimes it | :23:04. | :23:08. | |
does take a little bit of time. Three places above Burnley are | :23:08. | :23:11. | |
Blackpool who beat Reading. Meanwhile, the Seasiders could have | :23:11. | :23:14. | |
a trip to face non league neighbours Fleetwood in the FA Cup | :23:14. | :23:16. | |
third round. Fleetwood earned a replay in their second round tie | :23:16. | :23:19. | |
against League One Yeovil thanks to two late goals. Ian Haslam, BBC | :23:19. | :23:28. | |
North West Tonight. Roberto Mancini is known for his suave appearance. | :23:28. | :23:33. | |
But he is not quite so cool in this picture. He was dressed up as a | :23:33. | :23:41. | |
blue Santa Clause. Raising money for Sport Relief yesterday. | :23:41. | :23:50. | |
He even looks cool and that. At least he did it for a good cause. | :23:50. | :23:53. | |
It may be winter outside, but the unseasonaly mild autumn has fooled | :23:53. | :23:55. | |
plants at one stately home in Cheshire. Daffodils have sprung | :23:55. | :23:58. | |
into life at Dunham Massey after the second warmest November since | :23:58. | :24:04. | |
records began back in 1910. A number of other plants have also | :24:04. | :24:06. | |
been tricked into thinking it's spring. Our Environment | :24:06. | :24:11. | |
Correspondent Colin Sykes has been to take a look. | :24:11. | :24:14. | |
On the eve of Christmas, a Spring visitor in the grounds of Dunham | :24:14. | :24:24. | |

Massey. These daffodils shouldn't be here for another two months. | :24:26. | :24:36. | |
our and earlier variety. But to get them this early was quite a shock. | :24:36. | :24:41. | |
And it's not just daffodils. The oak trees are still in leaf. As the | :24:41. | :24:43. | |
seasons collide, November was the warmest since records began in 1910. | :24:43. | :24:46. | |
The previous record was in 1994 when average temperatures hit 8 | :24:46. | :24:50. | |
degrees. The Met Office says we should not read it too much into | :24:50. | :24:55. | |
the relatively mild weather. It is all caused by warm beer moving up | :24:55. | :25:04. | |
from southern Europe. -- warm air. And today things are changing. | :25:04. | :25:07. | |
Today, snow fell on the Cat and Fiddle road between Macclesfield | :25:07. | :25:10. | |
and Buxton. A reminder that winter is on its way. | :25:10. | :25:13. | |
Back in Cheshire, the plants were still being out foxed by the | :25:13. | :25:23. | |
:25:23. | :25:23. | ||
weather. This shop is usually in flower in April or May. | :25:23. | :25:33. | |
:25:33. | :25:36. | ||
Certainly not in December? No. It is getting colder, but with luck, | :25:36. | :25:45. | |
the daffodils will weather the storm. | :25:45. | :25:49. | |
Go on. One of us has to do it! | :25:49. | :25:59. | |
:25:59. | :26:00. | ||
Good evening. It is not feeling good. As we head through the week, | :26:00. | :26:06. | |
we will get wintry and windy weather. On Sunday, you will get it | :26:06. | :26:16. | |
:26:16. | :26:20. | ||
all on Monday. -- all on one a day. The temperatures will be an issue | :26:20. | :26:28. | |
through the night it tonight. The Met Office has issued, -- issued a | :26:28. | :26:37. | |
yellow warning for ice. We will see wintry showers piling in over night. | :26:37. | :26:47. | |
:26:47. | :26:48. | ||
We could see two or three centimetres of snow. Buxton always | :26:48. | :26:56. | |
looks gorgeous. The showers should become less frequent in the early | :26:56. | :27:01. | |
hours of the morning. The best of the weather will be in there first | :27:01. | :27:06. | |
part of the morning. Showers will move in from late morning onwards. | :27:06. | :27:10. | |
We will lose the sunshine and it will be a cloudy picture with rain | :27:10. | :27:20. | |
:27:20. | :27:25. | ||
