:22:50. > :22:54.fundraising from then on. Why do you do this? Over the years, you have
:22:55. > :23:07.raised ?12 million for so many different charities. It is the
:23:08. > :23:10.sincere thank you. If I receive a sincere thank you, that means
:23:11. > :23:12.everything. Give me a flavour of the things you have done. I have become

:23:43. > :23:52.you think over the years, the wave fundraising is change? Yes, it
:23:53. > :23:57.certainly has. In my days, it was a case of doing it because you want to
:23:58. > :24:01.do it and be part of the community. Now, fundraising is a business. Is
:24:02. > :24:06.that a business? It is good in some instances but bad in others. When I
:24:07. > :24:13.say good, everyone gets noticed is out there the community. But it is a
:24:14. > :24:18.business so some people will say, what is in it for them? The money is
:24:19. > :24:26.then is persuading people to donate. You clearly have got a knack. What
:24:27. > :24:30.is the secret? I am a great believing fundraising, so it is the
:24:31. > :24:37.fun. I am blowing my own trumpet here. But they know they will have
:24:38. > :24:42.fun first and the money will follow. I think you should blow your own
:24:43. > :24:49.trumpet because you deserve it. Congratulations on your British
:24:50. > :25:11.citizens award. You must feel proud. It is a delight to meet you.
:25:12. > :25:13.Raymond Slack caught some blue skies on camera,
:25:14. > :25:18.And Robert Bigwood sent us this photo of a deer in the rain
:25:19. > :25:29.Those outbreaks of rain are still with us. The band of rain is pushing
:25:30. > :25:36.its way out across the south coast. We will start to see them clearing.
:25:37. > :25:39.Gloomy conditions the round of the night. That band of rain will come
:25:40. > :25:44.and go and be patchy in nature and there will be one or two hefty
:25:45. > :25:51.bursts in the mix. Clearing through as we enter into those early hours
:25:52. > :25:57.but drizzly spells and hill fog. Temperatures, a stark change. Loads
:25:58. > :26:07.of three or 4 degrees. A grey and gloomy start. Still some of that
:26:08. > :26:10.hill fog lingering and patchy outbreaks and is the first thing.
:26:11. > :26:14.But as the day draws on, things dry out. That cloud could be big enough
:26:15. > :26:20.to produce rain at times. There may be one or two brighter breaks and
:26:21. > :26:25.that will be limited. Temperatures ten or 11 degrees. As we take a look
:26:26. > :26:31.ahead to tomorrow night, a quiet night to come. We will stick with a
:26:32. > :26:35.fair amount of cloud. Some hill fog and patchy drizzle as possible as
:26:36. > :26:43.well. Temperatures holding at five or 6 degrees. To round up the
:26:44. > :26:52.weekend, for Sunday, another quiet day. Staying predominantly dry. We
:26:53. > :26:54.are still with a fair amount of cloud. Murky conditions at times but
:26:55. > :26:58.there may just be one or two brighter breaks here and there.
:26:59. > :27:06.Let's take a look at the summary. Through the weekend, we stay with
:27:07. > :27:09.cloud. Breaks are possible. Hill fog murkiness at times. But as we go
:27:10. > :27:16.through the new working week, a breezy affair and a band of rain
:27:17. > :27:19.arriving. Tuesday, we will finally see more in the way of brightness
:27:20. > :27:27.before we return to the unsettled theme head into the middle part of
:27:28. > :27:30.this week. Have a good weekend. Enjoy the FA Cup. Very good luck to
