A woman from Bawdrip near Bridgwater is sorting through the wreckage

:00:10.:00:13.

of her home this weekend after a lorry crashed into it.

:00:14.:00:17.

Incredibly, neither she nor the driver were seriously hurt.

:00:18.:00:20.

Maggie Butcher was walking towards the front door

:00:21.:00:25.

It destroyed the front of her house, her garage, and her car.

:00:26.:00:33.

There was the most almighty bang, and I thought a plane had come down.

:00:34.:00:38.

And, apparently, this salvage lorry had tipped over and taken out

:00:39.:00:42.

Maggie moved her dogs out of the garage seconds

:00:43.:00:48.

Now she's trying to save precious family items.

:00:49.:00:55.

I managed to retrieve the only picture I have got my dad.

:00:56.:00:59.

I managed to retrieve the only picture I have got of my dad.

:01:00.:01:03.

It's the third time a lorry has damaged her home.

:01:04.:01:07.

She wants the speed limit here to be lowered.

:01:08.:01:10.

The police are investigating and the council are waiting

:01:11.:01:12.

for the full details of what happened.

:01:13.:01:15.

And Maggie's home will be a building site for up to a year

:01:16.:01:18.

while she waits for all this to be put right.

:01:19.:01:24.

Hundreds marched through Bath today, demanding their concerns

:01:25.:01:27.

about controversial changes in the city be heard.

:01:28.:01:31.

They're worried about a number of issues, from library and arts

:01:32.:01:33.

The council has said it must find ways to deal

:01:34.:01:38.

There was a haze of smoke around Bath's Manvers Street this afternoon

:01:39.:01:43.

as firefighters dealt with a fire in a flat.

:01:44.:01:46.

It spread to the roof of the building near the Abbey Hotel.

:01:47.:01:49.

There was some damage but no-one was hurt.

:01:50.:01:56.

A stream of yellow cars drove through Bibury today in support

:01:57.:02:01.

of a pensioner whose own car was vandalised.

:02:02.:02:03.

Somebody had apparently decided his yellow car spoiled the view,

:02:04.:02:05.

It was a day to celebrate all things yellow in Bibury.

:02:06.:02:10.

Over 100 yellow cars driving through the Cotswolds,

:02:11.:02:15.

coming from as far afield as North Yorkshire

:02:16.:02:17.

They came in support of local pensioner Peter Maddox,

:02:18.:02:25.

who until earlier this year had parked his beloved yellow

:02:26.:02:27.

Until, that is, someone vandalised it.

:02:28.:02:31.

It was apparently spoiling the view in the picture postcard village.

:02:32.:02:35.

He got up very early in the morning and found his car with broken

:02:36.:02:44.

Peter's not a man to make a fuss, so sold his car and replaced

:02:45.:02:49.

One which blends in with the background of this famous view.

:02:50.:02:53.

But other indignant yellow car drivers took up

:02:54.:02:55.

Quite simply, when I had seen that Peter's car had been vandalised,

:02:56.:03:05.

It made me so upset because of the reasons why

:03:06.:03:09.

and the fact that they said it was a blight on the landscape.

:03:10.:03:12.

I just felt that something had to be done.

:03:13.:03:17.

I just had a little idea and put it forward to a few friends.

:03:18.:03:20.

How do you like all the yellow cars? Lovely.

:03:21.:03:25.

Have you got a favourite yet? Yes, I have.

:03:26.:03:27.

You have? The smallest there is.

:03:28.:03:29.

The lovely finale to this story is that a car company has agreed

:03:30.:03:32.

to name a paint after Peter, so he will forever be

:03:33.:03:35.

Football, and Bristol City are one point above the relegation zone

:03:36.:03:41.

Bristol Rovers needed a second-half brace from Billy Bodin

:03:42.:03:46.

Nicky Ajose scored against Fleetwood in the 81st minute to boost

:03:47.:03:50.

Cheltenham earned a precious three points, beating Morecambe.

:03:51.:03:55.

Yeovil lost 2-0 at home against Carlisle.

:03:56.:03:58.

And an unlikely home defeat for Forest Green

:03:59.:04:00.

And in rugby's European Challenge Cup, Bath secured an away semifinal

:04:01.:04:07.

Five tries for Bath - two each for Faletau and Rokoduguni

:04:08.:04:13.

- with Tom Homer also crossing the line.

:04:14.:04:16.

We have and sunshine and showers around today.

:04:17.:04:23.

Now, tomorrow, we lose the showers and we keep the sunshine.

:04:24.:04:28.

And we should find the showers dying out through the

:04:29.:04:30.

So, clear skies through the night tonight.

:04:31.:04:33.

You could see a little bit of mist or fog perhaps forming.

:04:34.:04:37.

And underneath those clear skies, it could get a bit chilly

:04:38.:04:40.

So, for tomorrow, that slightly chilly start

:04:41.:04:43.

Good spells of sunshine, light winds, just a bit of fair

:04:44.:04:47.

It should stay dry for tomorrow, and although the air

:04:48.:04:50.

itself is a bit cool, temperatures not doing too badly.

:04:51.:04:52.

Feeling quite nice with those light winds and that sunshine.

:04:53.:04:55.

Fairly settled, then, over the coming days.

:04:56.:04:57.

Perhaps just a little bit of rain on Monday night and Tuesday.

:04:58.:04:59.

Good evening. It is the 1st of April today and appropriately enough, we

:05:00.:05:19.

had a day of sunny spells and showers. We saw some rainbows, this

:05:20.:05:24.

lovely double rainbow captured by one of -- one of our Weather

:05:25.:05:27.

Watchers in Leicestershire. Some showers still dotted around but the

:05:28.:05:32.

trend is they will become fewer and further between and most fading away

:05:33.:05:33.
