Thousands of pounds worth of damage as a fire rips through a row of | :00:11. | :00:19. | |
cottages. Could a ruptured oil tank have started it? | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
Good evening. Tonight residents have been allowed back to their | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
homes to collect belongings as investigations continue. | :00:23. | :00:26. | |
Also on Spotlight tonight, Derriford hospital named as a major | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
trauma centre. Critically injured patients will be sent directly | :00:28. | :00:32. | |
there in an effort to act fast and save more lives. | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
And the thousands of local lives touched by the Falklands war. We | :00:35. | :00:45. | |

People are being allowed back into their homes to collect their | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
belongings today after fire ripped through five terraced houses in | :00:49. | :00:52. | |
Cornwall. A fire investigation team has been trying to find out what | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
started the blaze. It caused thousands of pounds of damage in | :00:55. | :01:02. | |
the village of Constantine near Falmouth. Homes had to be evacuated | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
and families had to spend the night with friends or relatives. Our | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
reporter Emma Ruminski has the latest. | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
One in the daylight it is easy to see why this fire was so difficult | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
to tackle. The cottages are so close together at the fire spread | :01:13. | :01:18. | |
quickly. Today investigators have been inside with surveyors to see | :01:18. | :01:22. | |
if it is safe for residents to go back and collect what belongings | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
remain. Tricky to access and quick moving, | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
it is thought the fire started near a domestic oil tank and as the fuel | :01:30. | :01:35. | |
ruptured out of the tank the flames followed. Smoke could be seen for | :01:35. | :01:40. | |
miles around. And the initial stages it is about | :01:40. | :01:46. | |
getting its water supply is working and getting our was spiked to work | :01:46. | :01:55. | |
on the fires. -- our hosepipes. It was then about protecting as much | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
of the property as we could and I am pleased to say we managed to get | :01:59. | :02:08. | |
a hold of this one very quickly. J G C a delay there was this huge | :02:08. | :02:13. | |
college -- call fire. Really frightening. How quickly did | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
it spread? It was incredibly quick. The burning oil must have added to | :02:18. | :02:23. | |
the speed of it spreading. No one was hurt, but several were | :02:23. | :02:28. | |
evacuated as the fire spread. Why a snake and have lots of phone | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
calls, people forming the pub asking if there was anything they | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
could do. They were offering accommodation, just to see if there | :02:34. | :02:43. | |
was anything that they could do. The family with two young children, | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
they lost all their clothes, so my daughter went on for his book and | :02:47. | :02:53. | |
said, if anyone had children's clothes could they help them out? | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
The investigators have not reported findings yet, but the inquiry is | :02:57. | :03:02. | |
focusing on a fuel tank in the backyard of properties. They are | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
warning other people to inspect fuel tanks. Are were of people have | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
domestic heating tanks. When the rupture we have the | :03:09. | :03:15. | |
flowing fuel fire that moves on to other outbuildings. It causes a lot | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
of damage and we do ask that everyone ends but -- inspects their | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
oil tanks to make sure they are in good condition and also that they | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
don't store flammable so anywhere near them. | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
A those affected are now staying with friends and relatives. At | :03:30. | :03:35. | |
least for the of the families are staying with relatives, but they | :03:35. | :03:40. | |
will not be allowed for some time back into their house. It could be | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
some time they will have to spend in temporary accommodation before | :03:43. | :03:51. | |
they can return. Derriford Hospital has today been | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
named a Major Trauma Centre for the South West as part of a plan to | :03:55. | :03:57. | |
keep more critically injured patients alive. People with life | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
threatening injuries should now be taken directly to their nearest | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
centre. However, some patients may end up in other hospitals because | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
air ambulances have nowhere to refuel in Plymouth. Here's our | :04:06. | :04:15. | |
Health Correspondent Sally Mountjoy. Chris Hooper broke his bet -- leg | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
in more than a dozen places when a car knocked him off his motorbike | :04:19. | :04:25. | |
in Plymouth ten days ago. He was brought to Derriford Hospital for | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
treatment. Go I had a lot of work done on my | :04:29. | :04:36. | |
ankle, plastic surgery, all thoughts, severe pain relief, a lot | :04:36. | :04:43. | |
of pain and discomfort but everyone has been helpful and kind. | :04:43. | :04:48. | |
Today, the Department of Health declared Derriford at the peninsula | :04:48. | :04:53. | |
at major trauma centres or anyone suffering more to life -- multiple | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
or life-threatening injuries will be brought straight here rather | :04:56. | :05:04. | |
than a local hospital. Patients have access to advanced technology. | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
It means a change in the way we managed trauma across the UK, | :05:08. | :05:17. | |
essentially, concentrating the activity and expertise in one area, | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
which has been shown to save lives and get patients back to work | :05:21. | :05:27. | |
quicker. Critically injured people in | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
Somerset will go to Bristol, and those in Dorset to Southampton, but | :05:31. | :05:36. | |
there is concern not all patients who should will go directly to | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
Derriford Hospital. Since Plymouth airport closed, air ambulances | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
cannot refuelled near there, so they may have to take patients | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
elsewhere. We'll just a few days away from | :05:48. | :05:54. | |
Easter, on the cusp of a very busy summer season. This is a busy, | :05:54. | :06:00. | |
hard-working air ambulance operation, and we are concerned | :06:00. | :06:05. | |
that the non-availability of fuel in the Plymouth area could impact | :06:05. | :06:10. | |
on patient care from Cornwall. Do talks are ongoing to resolve the | :06:10. | :06:16. | |
problem, meanwhile Derriford's, Team is sure its new designation | :06:16. | :06:26. | |
:06:26. | :06:27. | ||
will mean many more patients A man accused of murdering his | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
partner just hours after she had undergone surgery for breast cancer | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
has told a jury at Exeter Crown Court he accepts he caused her | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
death. The body of solicitor Sian Rees was found between the front | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
seats after 54-year-old John Doyle crashed his car into a hedge near | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
the couple's home in Merton. She had been strangled. When asked | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
whether he accepted he'd held Ms Rees's neck, he replied, I do. Mr | :06:45. | :06:53. | |
Doyle denies murder and the trial continues. | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
A lorry driver from Yeovil has admitted crashing a petrol tanker | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
into the front of his family's bungalow in Dorset. Hugh Billington | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
drove the tanker into the house in Wool, that he and his wife | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
Christine own, in January. Mrs Billington had to climb through a | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
window to escape the fire which followed. The 51-year-old will be | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
sentenced at the end of the month. The Royal Cornwall Hospital Trust | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
has been fined nearly �1 million, mostly for failing to treat | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
patients quickly enough. The fine for the past year includes a | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
penalty for almost 200 breaches of rules over mixed-sex wards. The | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
trust says in the past six months it has reduced waiting times and | :07:28. | :07:34. | |
now has some of the shortest in the region. | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
A secure hospital for women in Devon has failed an announced | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
inspection by the care watchdog. The Care Quality Commission said | :07:40. | :07:42. | |
the Coombe House facility near Crediton wasn't meeting six | :07:42. | :07:44. | |
government standards covering areas such as staffing and how well | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
patients are looked after. The private firm which runs the | :07:47. | :07:55. | |
hospital says it is already taking steps to improve. | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
Parents trying to save a troubled private school in North Devon have | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
failed in their efforts to buy the building. | :08:00. | :08:02. | |
Administrators of St Michael's School in Tawstock have chosen a | :08:02. | :08:07. | |
different buyer. In a statement they say they recognise the | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
disappointment of the parents, but understand they're hoping to work | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
with the new owners to either buy the nursery buildings or stay there | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
for longer. Stay with us for a look back at how | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
the South West prepared for the Falkland's conflict 30 years ago | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
today. Plus the remarkable story of how this 10-year-old overcame the | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
odds to become an author. And east meets west - how dance is | :08:25. | :08:35. | |

helping to break down cultural differences. | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
The south west is gearing up for the Easter weekend and local | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
businesses are hoping good weather and the delay in possible strike | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
action by tanker drivers will help bring visitors to the region. But | :08:46. | :08:53. | |
why are the people who come here choosing the South West? Many | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
holiday makers have been telling the BBC that they come back year | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
after year and their decision has little to do with how the region is | :08:59. | :09:06. | |
marketed. Spotlight's John Ayres has more. | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
The Easter is a busy time. Attracting new business is well | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
wide all that is why there is a rush to build new facilities. A new | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
railway station has just opened, and Paignton has a new parked on | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
its green. Youngsters have been flocking to it bringing parents and | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
spending money. When people are in the town they | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
spend their money here, so hopefully it will be a boost to | :09:29. | :09:37. | |
trade, as well. It is a pity, then, that a tanker | :09:37. | :09:45. | |
drivers' strike has loomed. Why do visitors choose the South West? BBC | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
Devon cut -- conducted a straw poll with 100 people, be it is not | :09:49. | :09:56. | |
scientific but 95 of them said they were not enticed by advertising - | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
they were coming anyway. There it is a nice environment, and when we | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
come to visit we'd come out and take advantage of the lovely | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
sunshine. A don't think I was influenced by | :10:06. | :10:11. | |
the marketing, it was more my wife, really. We have come here for 40 | :10:11. | :10:17. | |
years in succession can we really like it. -- for four years. Are you | :10:17. | :10:22. | |
strip come here when I was around five years old with my parents. | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
The industry sees marketing as an important tool, but it must be done | :10:26. | :10:33. | |
propertied -- properly. We're not all convinced of it | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
because we has such strong levels of business and we can do it by | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
direct e-mail, lots of sophisticated ways. Marketing into | :10:40. | :10:48. | |
new markets specifically targeting people can be a useful tool, but it | :10:48. | :10:54. | |
must be used carefully. With a tankers strike on hold until | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
after Easter, the industry is hoping its effect on visitor | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
numbers will be at a minimum. They returned to the more traditional | :11:01. | :11:10. | |
issue of the weather. 30 years ago today service | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
personnel and dockyard workers in the region were gearing up for war. | :11:13. | :11:16. | |
As Britain prepared to send a task force to the Falkland Islands after | :11:16. | :11:19. | |
the Argentine invasion, there was frantic activity at military bases | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
across the South West. At Devonport, workers prepared many of the ships | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
which were about to sail to the South Atlantic. Tonight in the | :11:25. | :11:27. | |
first of three special reports on Spotlight this week, David George | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
looks back at how the region prepared to play its part in | :11:30. | :11:40. | |
:11:40. | :11:46. | ||
liberating the Falklands. The Government has now decided that | :11:46. | :11:50. | |
a large task force will sail as soon as all preparations are | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
complete. Across the South West, those | :11:53. | :11:58. | |
preparations were under way at a furious pace. Nimrods from St | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
Mawgan, helicopters from Montrose, Sea Harriers, naval vessels and | :12:03. | :12:11. | |
Royal Fleet eggs ill-at-ease -- auxiliaries from Devon port as well | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
as thousands of naval personnel. Pat Devonport work began to provide | :12:15. | :12:21. | |
stores for the Navy and refit much and chips. | :12:21. | :12:25. | |
Good in the week at the Atlantic conveyor has been in the debt -- | :12:25. | :12:30. | |
Bogarde, around 400 civilians have been engaged strengthening her | :12:30. | :12:34. | |
decks, creating a hangar space and improving her communications. By | :12:34. | :12:39. | |
tonight she should be on her way to the South Atlantic and, in addition | :12:39. | :12:45. | |
to these helicopters, a complement of Harrier jump jets is expected to | :12:45. | :12:49. | |
join her on route. The Atlantic conveyor was also | :12:49. | :12:53. | |
expected to carry Chinook helicopters. Three were destroyed | :12:53. | :12:59. | |
weeks later when the ship was hit by an Argentinian Exocet missile. | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
Devonport refitted a dozen ships carrying out 400,000 ft of welding | :13:03. | :13:10. | |
in just eight days. 112 ships travelled south, amongst | :13:10. | :13:17. | |
them famous liners like the QE two. We were all sitting there relaxing | :13:17. | :13:21. | |
watching a movie when it suddenly stopped and the message came saying, | :13:21. | :13:31. | |
:13:31. | :13:34. | ||
I am sorry, we have to tell you And for the first time in many, | :13:35. | :13:39. | |
many years, one of the Navy's best and biggest ships had been very | :13:39. | :13:44. | |
badly hit and three or four days later sank. That was the first time | :13:44. | :13:52. | |
we saw it was a serious war. And given part's owner was soon | :13:52. | :13:57. | |
emerged the casualties. HMS ardent and HMS Antelope were hit by | :13:57. | :14:03. | |
Argentine bombs. There was an explosion on board. | :14:03. | :14:07. | |
The fire started a midships and spread swiftly from the water line | :14:07. | :14:13. | |
to the main deck. Smoke could be seen drifting over the water and | :14:13. | :14:18. | |
fruit the searchlights of helicopters probed for survivors. - | :14:18. | :14:22. | |
- threw it to the Serbs might. Six weeks after the invasion, | :14:22. | :14:29. | |
British forces were fighting on the islands. | :14:29. | :14:33. | |
The berries were green for the Marines and red for the parachute | :14:33. | :14:40. | |
facility. We just couldn't resist the rhyming slang, the red and | :14:40. | :14:47. | |
green light machine. The blokes were happy that in this cold, but | :14:47. | :14:52. | |
hated, deserted place with no roads, if they were hurt, provided they | :14:52. | :14:56. | |
could survive the initial impact they were going to be all right. | :14:56. | :15:03. | |
They had to walk across the country, but, by the early summer, two-and- | :15:03. | :15:07. | |
a-half months after the invasion, the Union flag was raised in Port | :15:07. | :15:17. | |
:15:17. | :15:18. | ||
Stanley. Argentina had surrendered. 255 British servicemen, 649 | :15:18. | :15:28. | |
:15:28. | :15:32. | ||
Argentinians and three islanders And during the course of this week | :15:32. | :15:35. | |
we will be looking at how the Falklands conflict affected some of | :15:35. | :15:38. | |
the military personnel who survived and whether our armed forces could | :15:38. | :15:42. | |
mount a similar operation today. It's time for the sport now and | :15:42. | :15:49. | |
Natalie has got the latest for us. Natalie and I had a real treat when | :15:49. | :15:52. | |
you are a way, because Dave Gibbins was in doing the sport, and he | :15:53. | :16:02. | |
:16:03. | :16:03. | ||
called us the ladies. It was a real treat! He was loving it, wasn't he? | :16:03. | :16:06. | |
Truro City Football Club has been issued with a second winding up | :16:06. | :16:10. | |
order by HM Revenue and Customs. The Treyew Road club has to find | :16:10. | :16:18. | |
�51,000 in unpaid taxes. But owner Kevin Heaney says it will be paid | :16:18. | :16:21. | |
in full by the hearing date of April the 30th at the Royal Courts | :16:21. | :16:24. | |
of Justice. Their first winding up petition was for more than �100,000, | :16:24. | :16:27. | |
which was settled in January. A fairly positive weekend of | :16:27. | :16:30. | |
football with none of our sides losing. Exeter City's draw hasn't | :16:30. | :16:33. | |
done a huge amount to help their relegation battle, but Torquay are | :16:33. | :16:37. | |
snapping at the heels of League Two leaders Swindon. Plymouth Argyle | :16:37. | :16:41. | |
have at last opened up a small gap between them and the bottom two. | :16:41. | :16:44. | |
Our football pundit Chris Hargreaves has been looking back at | :16:44. | :16:52. | |
the action. There may be a promotion, maybe | :16:52. | :16:58. | |
survival, a big weekend. Wet start with Exeter. They did not do that | :16:58. | :17:03. | |
much to help themselves. 1-1, at much to help themselves. 1-1, at | :17:04. | :17:07. | |
least it was one point, though. No, it will be tough from now on. | :17:08. | :17:12. | |
This will not be pleasant viewing again. He does not get closed down, | :17:12. | :17:18. | |
a slotted finish, awful goal to concede. We discuss a lot of the | :17:18. | :17:22. | |
virtues of Exeter's performance, they do play a great football, but | :17:22. | :17:27. | |
it has not been enough this season. It could have been worse on the day. | :17:27. | :17:32. | |
Good solid goalkeeping of this, but it has been a struggle all season. | :17:33. | :17:38. | |
There was a bright sparks here with Jamie scoring a goal. We don't know | :17:38. | :17:46. | |
whether it is his goal but he certainly claim that. -- claimed it. | :17:46. | :17:52. | |
OK, League Two, Torquay, it is a cliche but the goals are flying. | :17:52. | :18:01. | |
Magnificent, it was. This was a penalty. Big pressure on the | :18:01. | :18:07. | |
penalty, he missed it, it was an off day for Torquay. It was a great | :18:07. | :18:11. | |
sign that they pulled through with a victory. Their diminutive winger, | :18:11. | :18:19. | |
Danny Stevens, just past it in. The fans and players were rewarded with | :18:19. | :18:25. | |
a great victory. He seemed so pleased. | :18:25. | :18:29. | |
I am not sure if this was a Valentine's, I don't know if they | :18:29. | :18:34. | |
were meeting up later on. A lovely couple at the end. | :18:34. | :18:44. | |
:18:44. | :18:47. | ||
Also, moving on, Plymouth Argyle, they have done better. | :18:47. | :18:52. | |
Yes, they did have chances on the day but results are what matter. | :18:52. | :18:57. | |
This was a brilliant effort, nearly off the keeper, he did not know | :18:57. | :19:01. | |
anything about it. It has been fantastic form from Plymouth | :19:01. | :19:11. | |
:19:11. | :19:13. | ||
recently. The victory was huge. A good save, again. The was a bit of | :19:13. | :19:17. | |
us grumble at the end. Yes, from the fans and players, no | :19:17. | :19:21. | |
doubt, but the result was all that mattered. | :19:21. | :19:23. | |
mattered. Thank you very much. | :19:24. | :19:27. | |

eight wins and two draws under Gary Johnson. Yeovil are now six points | :19:37. | :19:40. | |

second period by Argentine wing Gonzalo Camacho, his first for the | :19:58. | :20:01. | |
Chiefs. It could have been more comfortable had Ignacio Mieres not | :20:01. | :20:05. | |
missed five penalty kicks. The result keeps Exeter fifth in the | :20:05. | :20:14. | |
The Cornish Pirates need one more win to reach the semi-finals of the | :20:14. | :20:17. | |

Very good, yes. It is the sunshine. | :21:06. | :21:11. | |
What more can you want. A 10-year- old dyslexic boy from Cornwall is | :21:11. | :21:14. | |
celebrating after getting his first book published. Toby Berridge has | :21:14. | :21:17. | |
written about his life on a farm and according to his classmates it | :21:17. | :21:27. | |
:21:27. | :21:28. | ||
could be a best seller. Eleanor As authors go, in two is pretty | :21:28. | :21:33. | |
young. Despite this, he is not fazed by his first book signing. | :21:33. | :21:39. | |
This is Toby's book. The interesting world of Toby's | :21:39. | :21:43. | |
farmyard machinery. By did you decided to write about | :21:43. | :21:48. | |
tractors? De because it is my hobby. I have | :21:48. | :21:53. | |
loads of tractors at home on my little toy farm and it is quite fun | :21:53. | :21:58. | |
to write about. Still, you have a real passion for | :21:58. | :22:00. | |
tractors, don't you? Yes. | :22:00. | :22:04. | |
It is easy to see where it will be got the inspiration for his book. | :22:04. | :22:09. | |
This is his farm where they have eight tractors and 600 cattle. What | :22:09. | :22:13. | |
makes this book so special is that we might is dyslexic and finds | :22:13. | :22:19. | |
reading and writing very difficult. What has been really nice is that | :22:19. | :22:25. | |
his confidence in having a goal has been absolutely fantastic, and that | :22:25. | :22:29. | |
is one of the biggest changes in a few months, from not liking the | :22:29. | :22:34. | |
reading and writing to writing his own book and thinking he can do it. | :22:34. | :22:37. | |
He has become an author! I think it is really good, because | :22:37. | :22:42. | |
all the pictures to match up with what he is insane. | :22:42. | :22:46. | |
Do you like tractors? I didn't like it before I read the | :22:46. | :22:52. | |
book, but now I am more into them. Judging by the way it has gone down, | :22:52. | :22:57. | |
they may have a print a few more copies. | :22:57. | :23:01. | |
They were all engrossed. Organisers of a cultural dance | :23:01. | :23:04. | |
event in Plymouth hope it will help break down racial differences. The | :23:04. | :23:06. | |
show was held at the university at the weekend. Spotlight's Emma | :23:06. | :23:16. | |
:23:16. | :23:18. | ||
A flavour of the East here in the West, just one of 18 performances | :23:18. | :23:22. | |
showcasing dances from around the world at the Integration Through | :23:22. | :23:25. | |
Culture show. Travel but will achieve a greater | :23:25. | :23:30. | |
cultural awareness. Dance is something everyone can relate to | :23:30. | :23:34. | |
and music, so will hopefully everybody will be able to enjoy it | :23:34. | :23:41. | |
and take something away from it. You get to see all the different | :23:41. | :23:45. | |
costumes and cultural clothing, as well, so hopefully people will see | :23:45. | :23:49. | |
something in the street they have not seen before Unthank, we saw a | :23:49. | :23:59. | |
:23:59. | :24:00. | ||
dance that was like that, and remember more positive things. | :24:00. | :24:07. | |
It is the fifth year the event has been held, and a whiff many more | :24:07. | :24:10. | |
performers taking Pat organisers say it has gone from strength to | :24:10. | :24:16. | |
strength. You're meeting people and enjoying | :24:16. | :24:25. | |
And all the people here hope that by using dance they can continue to | :24:25. | :24:31. | |
help break down cultural differences. | :24:31. | :24:34. | |
The BBC is celebrating the Queen's Diamond Jubilee with a documentary | :24:34. | :24:37. | |
looking back at the many visits that Her Majesty has made to the | :24:37. | :24:40. | |
South West. And we're looking for your personal recollections, from | :24:40. | :24:43. | |
her first official visit in 1949 as Princess, to the Isles of Scilly in | :24:44. | :24:49. | |
1967, Geevor Mine in 1980 to the Devon County Show in 1995. When she | :24:49. | :24:52. | |
arrived at Exeter St David's train station that year she was presented | :24:52. | :25:02. | |
:25:02. | :25:03. | ||
with a posy of flowers by a rather shy young girl. Is this you? So if | :25:03. | :25:06. | |
you've been lucky enough to meet the Queen please do get in touch, | :25:06. | :25:16. | |
:25:16. | :25:19. | ||
you can email us at the usual It is they too have you back. You | :25:19. | :25:24. | |
had the most gorgeous weather last week. I was extremely lucky. There | :25:24. | :25:28. | |
week. I was extremely lucky. There is a real change this week, though. | :25:28. | :25:33. | |
Hello, it has not been a bad start to the week, decent temperatures, | :25:33. | :25:37. | |
but it will turn a lot colder, especially by midweek with biting | :25:37. | :25:41. | |
northerly winds. We have a cold front pushing down from tomorrow | :25:41. | :25:47. | |
onwards. Much colder air, with showers pushing in from the South | :25:47. | :25:53. | |
West. The likelihood is that the showers will bump into that cold | :25:53. | :25:59. | |
air. High pressure beds in on Wednesday and Thursday, distinctly | :25:59. | :26:03. | |
cold compared to this time last week. For tonight, generally | :26:03. | :26:09. | |
settled, showers pitching their way and from the West, quite chilly. | :26:09. | :26:19. | |
Even an ordinary areas we are looking at six-eight Celsius. | :26:19. | :26:24. | |
Tomorrow, we have showers coming in from the South West. On higher | :26:24. | :26:29. | |
levels a little snow or sleet, that will melt quite readily because the | :26:29. | :26:34. | |
ground is still warm from last week. Temperatures still around ten | :26:35. | :26:44. | |
:26:45. | :26:45. | ||
Celsius, on low levels showers falling. The Marine forecast... The | :26:45. | :26:49. | |
strength of the winds will pick up as we go through the afternoon. For | :26:49. | :26:53. | |
the Isles of Scilly, generally it is not a bad picture Until showers | :26:53. | :26:59. | |
begin to spread in. Showers becoming wintry at times. For the | :26:59. | :27:04. | |
Channel Islands are little better, a bright and sunny start, and the | :27:04. | :27:09. | |
rest of the rain not showing its hand until later on. We are looking | :27:09. | :27:13. | |
at a drier picture for the rest of the week, but Wednesday and | :27:13. | :27:18. | |
Thursday temperatures well down on last week with the cold winds. | :27:18. | :27:23. | |
Milder at the end of the week, I have not mentioned rain because | :27:23. | :27:26. | |
apart from the precipitation in the showers tomorrow there is none of | :27:26. | :27:31. |
