Hello, I'm Sally Taylor. Welcome to South Today. In tonight's | :00:05. | :00:09. | |
programme: A man is found not guilty for the | :00:09. | :00:12. | |
murder of the Hampshire pensioner Georgina Edmonds. We will have all | :00:12. | :00:19. | |
the details. For years on from a brutal murder, | :00:19. | :00:23. | |
the killer has not been conned. Tonight, police said the | :00:23. | :00:26. | |
investigation is still open. A tanker driver is arrested for | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
attempted murder after crashing into the home of a woman he knew. | :00:29. | :00:32. | |

Georgina Edmonds was battered to death at her home in Bambridge near | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
Eastleigh. Today, after a two-month trial, a jury at Winchester Crown | :01:05. | :01:11. | |
Court found 33-year-old Matthew Hamlen not guilty of murder. Our | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
home affairs correspondent Alex Forsyth has been following the case | :01:13. | :01:23. | |
and joins us from outside Winchester Crown Court. | :01:23. | :01:28. | |
The family of Matthew Hamlen have been in court for every day of this | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
two-month trial. Today there was just a small Gaspar from their area | :01:32. | :01:36. | |
of the gallery, when the jury delivered its verdict. They found | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
him not guilty of the murder of Georgina Edmonds. There were tears | :01:40. | :01:45. | |
from some jurors, but Matthew Hamlen himself showed little | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
emotion as he was told that he would be a free man. The judge | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
address the family of Georgina Edmonds. He said they had the | :01:53. | :02:00. | |
sympathy of everyone in court. He said, for them, he recognise that | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
strip -- distress of the last four years was not over. The police | :02:03. | :02:09. | |
investigation will remain open. police, Crown Prosecution Service | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
and the prosecuting counsel have worked tirelessly to present -- to | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
present the evidence. The investigation has been one of the | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
biggest murder inquiries ever conducted by Hampshire Constabulary. | :02:21. | :02:26. | |
It is the policy of Hampshire Constabulary for unsolved homicide | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
never to be closed. Her thoughts at this time are with the Georgina | :02:30. | :02:40. | |

Edmonds's family. For Georgina Edmonds's family, it | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
has been for years of waiting and wondering over who killed their | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
mother and wife. They have showed incredible dignity throughout, but | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
tonight there are still no closer to getting any answers about what | :02:52. | :03:02. | |
:03:02. | :03:03. | ||
exactly happened on that day in January four years ago. My mother | :03:03. | :03:10. | |
has been hit over the head. It looks as if she is dead. The voice | :03:10. | :03:15. | |
of Georgina Edmonds's son. He had just found her body. Georgina | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
Edmonds was stabbed repeatedly then beaten to death. Police think she | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
was tortured for her PIN number. absolutely shocked. I cannot | :03:24. | :03:32. | |
believe that ever happened. I still think about her. I still think | :03:32. | :03:37. | |
about her lovely smile. The killer stole her handbag, debit card and a | :03:37. | :03:45. | |
mobile phone. He left the �30 in cash on the side. Huge shock that | :03:45. | :03:50. | |
something like that happened in the heart of a community where crime | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
caused a make bottles over their heads on a Friday night, or | :03:53. | :03:58. | |
something like that. After four years and after that end of luck | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
long court case, it is still not known who committed this brutal | :04:02. | :04:09. | |
crime or wife. Following the murder, the police once the biggest manhunt | :04:09. | :04:14. | |
for 30 years. They had little to go on. Aspect of DNA from a murder | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
weapon -- from what they thought we might be the murder weapon. And | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
this, a heavily disguised man trying to use the stone debit card | :04:22. | :04:27. | |
that night. Police thought this man was a Matthew Hamlen, seen here | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
shopping on the night of the murder. Now at has been proven that it was | :04:32. | :04:42. | |
:04:42. | :04:42. | ||
not him. -- now it has been proven. It is hard to comprehend anyone | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
doing such a crime, let alone someone that I was close to and | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
they knew very well. With me, he was honest, he would do absolutely | :04:51. | :04:56. | |
anything, heart of gold, to be honest. Today, Matthew Hamlen was | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
found not guilty of the murder of Sturgeon at Edmonds, after being on | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
trial since November. For my heart goes out to his mother, who has | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
been dragged through the hedges. Her life has been turned upside | :05:09. | :05:17. | |
down. I feel for Matt. His life has been turned into utter hell. By | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
will be get all the compensation he deserves. I feel desperately sorry | :05:21. | :05:26. | |
for Georgina Edmonds's family and forager Jean herself. I cannot | :05:26. | :05:33. | |
start to comprehend how much that much feel -- that must feel. I hope | :05:33. | :05:40. | |
they get justice. That justice now seems elusive. Police are just -- a | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
letter of the few clues they had before and a peaceful community is | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
left of the memory of a cruel and brutal murder, along with The | :05:47. | :05:57. | |

Knowledge that the killer has not been caught. | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
Tonight, Georgina Edmonds's killing remains an unsolved case with the | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
murderer still at large. Her death in 2008 turned the family's world | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
upside down. Speaking to South Today, Georgina's daughter, Doddie, | :06:05. | :06:13. | |
reflected on her mother's life. She was very warm, friendly, bubbly, | :06:13. | :06:18. | |
hilariously funny. She could tell great stories. She used to act with | :06:18. | :06:27. | |
the grand children. Just a very loving, kind, dear person. The sort | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
of old lady you would want picture arms around and look after. She | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
even had a broken foot at the time of the murder, and he could have | :06:34. | :06:39. | |
told her to sit in a chair and shut up and grabbed her handbag and gone, | :06:39. | :06:44. | |
so it made no sense. I cannot understand what happened or why. It | :06:44. | :06:52. | |
was like something dying inside of me. Absolute bewilderment. Relate | :06:52. | :06:59. | |
not believing it one minute then being absolutely bereft the next. | :06:59. | :07:05. | |
My favourite memories of her are a her welcoming me. I would get to | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
the back door, which had a window when it and I would see her and she | :07:08. | :07:15. | |
would call, is it Doddy? I would always remember that. She would be | :07:15. | :07:21. | |
so excited to see me. The last time I hugged her goodbye, she felt so | :07:21. | :07:30. | |
frail and Little and elderly and I just wanted to hang on to her. It | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
has been a roller-coaster of ups and downs falling the inquiry | :07:34. | :07:43. | |
hoping for justice. -- following the inquiry. Missing the time I | :07:43. | :07:47. | |
would have been able to spend good days with her. She is not there. | :07:47. | :07:55. | |
There are times when I dream about her and we Cup -- and wake up and | :07:55. | :08:04. | |
she is gone. Alex, where does the investigation | :08:04. | :08:09. | |
go from here? This has been one of Hampshire | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
police's biggest inquiries. Following the murder, the | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
questioned hundreds of people, to give DNA swabs from people in the | :08:17. | :08:22. | |
community, combed the woodland and forever as looking for clues, but | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
they really had very little to: and they still do not have very much to | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
go on. Some detectives have been working on this from the start. | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
They said they needed no motivation to work out who had done it. | :08:34. | :08:39. | |
Tonight, they will be taking stock trying to work out what happens now. | :08:40. | :08:46. | |
Very difficult for her family, but also for the local community. | :08:46. | :08:56. | |
:08:56. | :09:01. | ||
It was, and not just in Banbridge, -- Brown -- Brambridge. This a | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
really did provoke fear. Lots of people have been following this | :09:05. | :09:12. | |
investigation, hoping for closure. Tonight, that seems a long way off. | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
In other news tonight, a man has been arrested on suspicion of | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
attempted murder after a tanker full of fuel crashed into a house | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
in Wool near Wareham. The resulting fire gutted the house on Folly Lane | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
near to the local primary School, but the woman living there managed | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
to escape. Some locals say a man was seen running from the scene. | :09:28. | :09:36. | |
Ben Moore reports. And keeps dead marks now the only | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
clue that the huge scorched hole in this house was caused by a tanker | :09:40. | :09:45. | |
full of fuel. It rode up the pavement on the Folly Lane at | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
around 9:20am this morning. The resulting blaze ripped through the | :09:49. | :09:56. | |
bungalow. We do not get that sort of thing every day. We are quiet, a | :09:56. | :10:02. | |
sleepy village. I think we're all a bit puzzled. It is night to have | :10:02. | :10:07. | |
the attention on the village for a change and promote the village. | :10:07. | :10:10. | |
firefighters took an hour to get the blaze under control. And | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
meanwhile, neighbours say they saw the man who drove the tanker | :10:13. | :10:19. | |
leaving the scene. I was on my way to work and I came out of the | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
driveway and he came running past me and he shouted that the house | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
was on fire. Hours later, police detained a man on suspicion of | :10:27. | :10:32. | |
attempted murder. Police say they have now arrested a 51-year-old man | :10:32. | :10:36. | |
from the your full and that he was known to the woman. Neighbours and | :10:37. | :10:44. | |
locals here say he was her partner. Amazingly, the woman inside escaped | :10:44. | :10:49. | |
unharmed. The house, which was for sale, is a different matter. The | :10:49. | :10:55. | |
tanker is no longer there, removed pending a police examination. | :10:55. | :10:57. | |
One of the six footballers arrested yesterday in connection with an | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
alleged sexual assault in Sussex has been eliminated from the | :11:00. | :11:02. | |
enquiry. No further action will be taken against 24-year-old Brighton | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
defender Tommy Elphick. Those arrested include the son of a | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
Premier League manager, and a first team regular. The five players have | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
been released on bail. The Sunday Times has dropped its | :11:14. | :11:17. | |
challenge to a court ruling ordering it to hand over emails to | :11:17. | :11:22. | |
police relating to speeding claims against Eastleigh MP Chris Huhne. | :11:22. | :11:24. | |
Essex Police are investigating claims the energy secretary asked | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
his then wife Vicky Pryce, to take speeding penalty points on his | :11:27. | :11:35. | |
behalf. Lib Dem MP Mr Huhne says the allegations are simply | :11:35. | :11:40. | |
incorrect. Relatives of elderly dementia | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
patients say they will fight plans to close a care home in Berkshire. | :11:44. | :11:47. | |
Some fear their loved ones would not survive the trauma of being | :11:47. | :11:50. | |
moved from the Fosters centre in Woodley, run on behalf of Wokingham | :11:50. | :11:54. | |
Borough. But council officials argue the building, at almost 50 | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
years old, falls woefully short of current standards, and would cost | :11:57. | :12:06. | |
too much to upgrade. Allen Sinclair reports. | :12:06. | :12:11. | |
She can no longer speak up for herself. 92 next week, she has | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
advanced dementia and for several years as the ground up -- round- | :12:15. | :12:19. | |
the-clock care. The facility is now facing closure, leaving relatives | :12:19. | :12:24. | |
of those now living they are deeply worried. My biggest fear is that | :12:24. | :12:27. | |
she will into days either shortly after a move, or with people that | :12:27. | :12:33. | |
do not know are. I feel like it is letting her down, betraying her. I | :12:33. | :12:37. | |
do not know where else I can trust. The environment may not be up to | :12:37. | :12:43. | |
the latest hundreds, but they are to the standard appropriate for | :12:43. | :12:47. | |
advanced dementia. The Foster's care home is almost 50 years old | :12:47. | :12:52. | |
and needs roofing repairs and the new Windows. The upgrade would cost | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
tens of thousands of pounds, but because air quality commission says | :12:55. | :12:59. | |
the building would still fall short of modern guidelines on the size of | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
rooms and the standard of facilities. To really make | :13:03. | :13:07. | |
substantial changes, we're looking at moving walls around, substantial | :13:07. | :13:11. | |
building works which would cause disruption and likely mean their | :13:11. | :13:21. | |
residents would have to move out. Some of the 36 staff may be offered | :13:21. | :13:25. | |
work at the council's other care home, but there is uncertainty | :13:25. | :13:29. | |
about the rest. Meanwhile, the relatives have done -- pledge to do | :13:29. | :13:39. | |
:13:39. | :13:39. | ||
all they can to keep their home the The average price of petrol in the | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
south is higher than average, according to the AA. They say | :13:42. | :13:46. | |
petrol prices have gone up by 1p a litre this year. That is | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
highlighting a big difference in price between Newbury and Reading, | :13:49. | :13:53. | |
even though they are only a few miles apart. There are supermarkets | :13:53. | :13:57. | |
that sell petrol cheap. If you have one of those in your town it tracks | :13:57. | :14:01. | |
the price down for miles around. If you haven't got one, it does not, | :14:01. | :14:05. | |
so 12 mile difference, which is more than you can sensibly drive to | :14:05. | :14:10. | |
save yourself money on fuel, means you can get this 3p or four pence | :14:10. | :14:14. | |
difference between two towns. A court has heard how some inmates | :14:14. | :14:17. | |
at Ford Prison faced abuse as they tried to put out fires started by | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
rioters. More than �5 million of damage was caused during the | :14:22. | :14:26. | |
disturbance on New Year's Day 2011. Hove Crown Court has been told | :14:26. | :14:30. | |
trouble flared after staff better tested some inmates alcohol. The | :14:30. | :14:34. | |
jury heard prisoners who tried to put out fires were abused or | :14:34. | :14:38. | |
threatened by other inmates. Seven men are on trial accused of prison | :14:38. | :14:42. | |
mutiny. Still to come in South Today, Tony | :14:42. | :14:46. | |
Husband on sport and Sarah Farmer has the weather details. It is a | :14:46. | :14:51. | |
blustery weekend ahead, perfect for kite flyers and windsurfers. Join | :14:51. | :14:54. | |

Special Programme the Sunday. The motive spiders subject of what | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
happens to people after they die is making headlines in the south -- | :15:13. | :15:19. | |
the emotive subject. It follows a decision by the Co-op to add chapel | :15:19. | :15:22. | |
of rest to one of its funeral parlours in Portsmouth. Local | :15:22. | :15:25. | |
residents have involved -- have launched a campaign involving | :15:25. | :15:30. | |
posters and petition. Portsmouth is a mixture of shops | :15:30. | :15:35. | |
and houses on this road. This here is the funeral shop, which is now | :15:35. | :15:39. | |
at the centre of a major controversy. Following the Co-op's | :15:39. | :15:43. | |
decision to apply for permission to store bodies here before they are | :15:43. | :15:48. | |
either cremated or buried. It has certainly be a big talking point in | :15:48. | :15:53. | |
this part of the city. They are not doing any harm, of a? REPORTER: | :15:53. | :15:59. | |
What would not worry you? Not at all. Very morbid. I don't like the | :15:59. | :16:04. | |
sound of that. Bury eerie. It is part of life, you live, you die, it | :16:04. | :16:08. | |
does not bother me at all. A number of neighbouring properties overlook | :16:08. | :16:13. | |
the backyard of the building. The Co-op wants to use it as a chapel | :16:13. | :16:17. | |
of rest. I enjoy my roof garden, it has been here 15 years. I could be | :16:18. | :16:21. | |
sat here at any time and I could see a body come in there. I don't | :16:21. | :16:26. | |
want to see it. Why should I? city council rejected the Co-op's | :16:26. | :16:31. | |
first application to use the building in another area of | :16:31. | :16:36. | |
Portsmouth as a chapel of rest but the company is now appealing. The | :16:36. | :16:40. | |
Co-op says it will be used 40 or 50 times a year, with vehicles | :16:40. | :16:43. | |
collecting coffins reversing right up to the back of the building. | :16:44. | :16:47. | |
What we're trying to do is give the opportunity for local people to | :16:47. | :16:52. | |
have a local chapel of rest in their time of need. The city | :16:52. | :16:55. | |
council will make a decision on whether to allow the Co-op to open | :16:55. | :17:03. | |
a chapel of rest on Fairbrother first. -- on February 1st. | :17:03. | :17:09. | |
A fire has damaged an industrial dry-cleaners in Dr near Southampton. | :17:09. | :17:12. | |
60 firefighters tackled the blaze on the Calmore Industrial Estate | :17:12. | :17:16. | |
overnight. They stopped the fire spreading to neighbouring units. | :17:16. | :17:19. | |
The fire was spotted in the early hours. | :17:19. | :17:24. | |
Building work at a new intensive care unit for babies born to see | :17:24. | :17:28. | |
court to soon began at Salisbury District Hospital today. It will | :17:28. | :17:31. | |
provide accommodation for mums and dads to stay with their babies. At | :17:31. | :17:35. | |
the moment they have to make daily trips to the hospital. It has cost | :17:35. | :17:42. | |
�4 million to build. Baby Brennan has been here for more | :17:42. | :17:48. | |
than three months. He weighed just over one lb when he was born at 26 | :17:48. | :17:52. | |
weeks and was the same size as this cuddly toy. It is heart-wrenching | :17:52. | :17:56. | |
when you have to walk away and leave your baby when they are so | :17:56. | :18:04. | |
poorly. Just to be down the corridor from him would be | :18:04. | :18:10. | |
fantastic, you know. Jacob was born on Christmas Day but his parents | :18:10. | :18:14. | |
were not expecting him until the end of next month. They'll have | :18:14. | :18:20. | |
more than 30 miles away. It takes me about 45 minutes to travel in | :18:20. | :18:26. | |
every day. I stay all day and leave about five o'clock night every day. | :18:26. | :18:32. | |
This is the newest arrival. Jack was born last night. The unit sees | :18:32. | :18:35. | |
around 300 babies a year. On average they will stay here for | :18:35. | :18:41. | |
about one month. The problem is at the moment it is a very small move | :18:41. | :18:45. | |
-- it is a very small unit. If you have babies in, their families in, | :18:45. | :18:49. | |
and you need a baby who needs attention there is not the room and | :18:49. | :18:53. | |
we have to move furniture to get to a sick baby. Not all families can | :18:53. | :18:57. | |
be in at the same time. The new unit would be really four times the | :18:57. | :19:02. | |
size of the current one. It will still care for the same number of | :19:02. | :19:05. | |
babies but there will be birds for parents so they won't have to be | :19:05. | :19:11. | |
separated. Mothers and fathers bond better with their babies when they | :19:11. | :19:15. | |
haven't uninterrupted access to the baby, and the every round. We all | :19:16. | :19:19. | |
know, it is well-documented, that babies do better when they are with | :19:19. | :19:23. | |
their mother. These babies should be able to go home in the next few | :19:23. | :19:25. | |
weeks. They will never remember their time here but the level of | :19:25. | :19:32. | |
care is something their parents will never forget. | :19:32. | :19:35. | |

making a special programme for Sunday teatime as a build-up to the | :22:03. | :22:09. | |
Olympics? We have chatted to people, in informal circumstances. We have | :22:09. | :22:13. | |
them away from their sports, seen them at home and tried to deliver | :22:13. | :22:16. | |
on Sunday night, bit more than just a spoke to -- just a sports | :22:16. | :22:21. | |
programme. As part of the Olympic Dreams series we have followed four | :22:21. | :22:24. | |
athletes from the south as they build up to the Olympics at | :22:24. | :22:29. | |
Paralympics. Two will feature in the programme on Sunday. Here is a | :22:29. | :22:34. | |
sneak preview. Rachel Cawthorne, one of the | :22:34. | :22:38. | |
world's leading Kiyan races. Her journey began in Guildford, where | :22:38. | :22:44. | |
she hopes to inspire a new generation. This is the river, just | :22:44. | :22:48. | |
here. Getting of rotation to reach all the way forward. I came here | :22:48. | :22:55. | |
one day in the summer and I hope to be back soon. I tried to get in | :22:55. | :22:59. | |
here, and then in a lot of times. Went out of the water she swaps her | :22:59. | :23:03. | |
paddles for knitting Needles and she loves Harry Potter. But the | :23:03. | :23:10. | |
Olympics are never far from her thoughts. I think it would be the | :23:10. | :23:14. | |
greatest achievement you could get within the sport, so to be able to | :23:14. | :23:21. | |
do a race that you feel you have put everything into it and come out | :23:21. | :23:25. | |
how you wanted it to, then that is really what I would like to do. | :23:25. | :23:29. | |

disappointing World Championships in December means the pressure is | :23:32. | :23:37. | |
on to perform this summer. I am really in trouble here. It is the | :23:37. | :23:41. | |
biggest event of my life. Of all the British sailing team, for sure | :23:41. | :23:46. | |
it is on my mind when I wake up until when I go to bed and they | :23:46. | :23:50. | |
have to keep all the thoughts positive and I am really looking | :23:50. | :23:53. | |
forward to it, making sure I am training as hard as I can. There is | :23:53. | :23:57. | |
one person he can rely on for support, his wife and Olympic | :23:57. | :24:04. | |
medallist, Sarah. She is there to help me, making sure I do give 100%. | :24:04. | :24:11. | |

local radio station next week, and Sunday at 5:00pm. | :24:34. | :24:42. | |
You will tell us that is the only bad shot that you played. It wasn't | :24:42. | :24:46. | |
me who chose to put it in, believe you me. Somebody was teasing you, | :24:46. | :24:51. | |
when they? Sarah is here with the weather for the weekend. Yes, a | :24:51. | :24:58. | |
grey one today. It has felt mild except for the wind. Very cold. The | :24:58. | :25:02. | |
wind is picking up through the weekend as well. A grey day and a | :25:02. | :25:12. | |
:25:12. | :25:23. | ||
great night to come but have a look So great cut -- grey skies to come | :25:23. | :25:27. | |
tonight as well. Plenty more in the way of cloud. It is going to stay | :25:27. | :25:31. | |
mild but the winds really picking up to my turn through the weekend | :25:31. | :25:35. | |
as well. Overnight tonight, much as it has been today really. Quite to | :25:35. | :25:40. | |
the cast, some patchy, like rain and drizzle in the mix. It's a few | :25:40. | :25:46. | |
breaks to be had. Cloudy, breezy, temperatures at seven or eight | :25:46. | :25:49. | |
Celsius. The weekend, it is not looking too bad. Quite windy, | :25:49. | :25:55. | |
pretty good if you are heading out to do kite surfing perhaps. | :25:55. | :25:58. | |
Starting cloudy and damp but brightening up through the day on | :25:58. | :26:03. | |
Saturday and even more so on Sunday. Tomorrow morning first thing, grey, | :26:03. | :26:06. | |
damp and dull to start. The winds are picking up as we head through | :26:06. | :26:12. | |
the day, possibly gusting at around 30 or 40 miles an hour. The front | :26:12. | :26:16. | |
six southwards, bringing some slightly brighter conditions, drier | :26:16. | :26:19. | |
conditions to the north of our region. Coastal areas and the Isle | :26:19. | :26:22. | |
of Wight might hang on to some of the damp and grey conditions | :26:22. | :26:27. | |
through the day. Temperatures up to around 12 degrees earlier that day. | :26:27. | :26:29. | |
The brightness begins to arrive in the afternoon, temperatures | :26:29. | :26:34. | |
dropping away. Tomorrow night, very similar to tonight, quite a bit of | :26:34. | :26:39. | |
cloud, spots of drizzle on the wind. Temperatures holding out at five to | :26:39. | :26:43. | |
eight Celsius across the region. We start Sunday on a grey, damp note. | :26:43. | :26:47. | |
Once again you can see from the isobars it is going to be another | :26:47. | :26:51. | |
breezy day. Tightly-packed isobars mean the winds are really set to | :26:51. | :26:58. | |
pick up. For Sunday, a grey start, gradually seeing the cloud clearing | :26:58. | :27:01. | |
off to the south. Brighter conditions, possibly a better | :27:01. | :27:05. | |
prospect than Saturday. Here is the summary for the next few days. | :27:05. | :27:08. | |
Tomorrow, quite a grey day, particularly the further south you | :27:08. | :27:13. | |
are, by two breaks opening to the north. Sunday starts on a grey note, | :27:13. | :27:17. | |
becoming brighter later in the day. Later in the week, becoming | :27:17. | :27:21. | |
chillier. Turning unsettled by midweek falls -- midweek. If I had | :27:21. | :27:27. | |
to practise my golf I would get out. Why not. Golfers everywhere will be | :27:27. | :27:32. |
