worth up to ?2000. New developments in the murder of a | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
pensioner almost 11 years ago. Or evening. A 42`year`old m`n has | :00:18. | :00:23. | |
been arrested as part of thd inquiry into the death of Joan Rodd`m. She | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
was found outside her bungalow in Cornwall in 2003. We'll havd the | :00:27. | :00:33. | |
latest on this new investig`tion. Also ahead, on the eve of the | :00:34. | :00:41. | |
budget, there is a warning that wage rises for private`sector workers is | :00:42. | :00:45. | |
almost a year away. And, a verdict of accidental death for the homeless | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
woman killed by a falling tree. A man has been arrested in Cornwall | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
following a new investigation into a murder 11 years ago. The body of | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
74`year`old Joan Roddam was found outside her bungalow in Del`bole in | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
November 2003. A 42`year`old man from Delabole was arrested by | :01:00. | :01:01. | |
detectives this morning. David George reports. | :01:02. | :01:11. | |
The murder of Joan Roddam on the seventh or 8th of November 2003 is | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
one of the longest`running tnsolved cases in the Devon and Cornwall | :01:17. | :01:21. | |
Police area. The body of thd 74`year`old Mrs Roddam was found on | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
a Saturday evening in a field just behind her bungalow. She had been | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
suffocated. At the time, police officers said Mrs Roddam was found | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
wearing a dressing gown and lying face down. They said there had been | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
no sign of a struggle or a break`in at the property, leading to some | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
theories that she may have known her killer. Members of her family still | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
live at the property here. Today, they say they are shocked and upset | :01:48. | :01:53. | |
to hear about the arrest. The police say the arrest comes after ` new | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
investigation of the case, `nd eight review by Cornwall Council lacro | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
major crime investigation tdam. The 38`year`old man from nearby Delabole | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
was arrested this morning on suspicion of murder. In the days | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
following the discovery of the body, police carried out searches of the | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
area and questioned local pdople. It was around 10.5 years ago that the | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
police used this lay`by adj`cent to the property to pull over traffic | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
and asked drivers if they h`d seen anything that would help thdir | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
investigation. One senior police officer, now retired from the force, | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
told the BBC that development like today's are often as a result of new | :02:32. | :02:37. | |
forensic science techniques. He says that evidence from murder c`ses will | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
be kept indefinitely, allowhng new examinations, using the new science. | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
Joan Roddam's murder came jtst two days after the brutal doubld murder | :02:48. | :02:56. | |
of two garage owners. Tonight, the arrested man is being held hn a | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
police station. Tomorrow, George Osborne will | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
deliver the budget. But herd in the South West, economists and business | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
leaders have warned that prhvate sector workers are unlikely to see | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
the benefits of economic recovery in their pay slips for at least another | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
year. It follows five years in which thousands of staff in the rdgion | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
have seen wage freezes or ctts. Unions have voiced anger, s`ying | :03:19. | :03:20. | |
living standards are falling unacceptably as inflation erodes | :03:21. | :03:31. | |
spending power. Simon Hall reports. This is a bespoke furniture makers | :03:32. | :03:37. | |
who have been through hard times, but are now seeing the economy | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
improved. They would like to increase their staff's pay, but feel | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
they can't afford to. It wotld be nice to pay them more, but H don't | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
know if this is a blip, or whether it is going to be continued growth. | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
In six months time, if it is still going well, then yes, ease of on | :03:56. | :04:01. | |
those purse strings. Until then as a small business, you can't afford | :04:02. | :04:07. | |
to. Outside the shop, workers we spoke to said they had been | :04:08. | :04:09. | |
suffering the effects of pax increases not keeping up with rises | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
in the cost of living. I mostly work a minimum wage job. It has not | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
really increased at all. Thd price of living and fuel has gone up quite | :04:17. | :04:23. | |
a lot, so it has been hard times. Being young, wanting to movd out, | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
get a car, experience the world is not happening for a lot of ts. A lot | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
of my friends are struggling as well. Economists say thousands of | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
workers have suffered five xears of pay cuts, freezes or, if thdy are | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
fortunate, small rises. Thex estimate he increases in thd | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
south`west are running on average at about 1%, which is half the rate of | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
inflation. They say they don't expect bigger rises for at least a | :04:49. | :04:54. | |
year. It is a low`wage economy, and it is an economy of small fhrms On | :04:55. | :04:59. | |
the whole, small firms find it more difficult to increase wages than | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
their larger underparts. Workers have been seeing years of this, | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
against a tide of increases in things like utility bills, water | :05:09. | :05:14. | |
bills, council tax and they are still struggling. With the budget | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
tomorrow, businesses in the region have told us they would likd to see | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
taxes cut, particularly VAT, more lending from banks, and redtce | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
bureaucracy to help them. It is now widely accepted the economy is | :05:30. | :05:32. | |
improving but what is in dispute is whether that is feeding through into | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
enhanced standards of living. That is a debate which is likely to go on | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
from tomorrow's budget throtgh to next year's general election. | :05:42. | :05:49. | |
Martinez is here. Is there `nything we already know will be announced | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
tomorrow? The government has indicated it plans to extend the | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
help to buy scheme, which is where the government eventually gdt into | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
the mortgage margin `` mortgage market, but this is controvdrsial | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
because critics say it risks pushing up house prices. What about | :06:08. | :06:14. | |
transport planes, help with flooding and so on? If there was mord money | :06:15. | :06:21. | |
to help with flood defences, the south`west would be pretty well | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
placed. Transport links, very much the issue of the moment. Thd A3 3 | :06:27. | :06:38. | |
needs work to, so the Chancdllor is unlikely to say anything new as | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
these are the subject of ongoing studies. More recently, there is | :06:42. | :06:48. | |
pressure from other parts of the country for the government to | :06:49. | :06:51. | |
accelerate the HS2 link. If that is announced tomorrow, it will annoy a | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
lot of people in the south`west to think they should get a piece of the | :06:57. | :07:02. | |
cake first. Energy costs ard increasingly controversial. Yes | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
there is a suggestion that the Chancellor might freeze the | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
escalator that the government has put on the basic price of c`rbon | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
fuels. That would encourage energy companies to move away from carbon | :07:15. | :07:17. | |
fuels. Freezing that could bring costs down for the consumer. People | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
in the renewable energy indtstry feel in my be damaging to them | :07:23. | :07:25. | |
however. A ?34 million development at one of | :07:26. | :07:27. | |
Somerset's biggest hospitals is taking its first patients this week. | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
The new Jubilee Building at Musgrove Park Hospital in Taunton replaces | :07:32. | :07:34. | |
wards that were originally built to treat American soldiers durhng the | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
Second World War. Clinton Rogers has been given access to the new wards. | :07:38. | :07:52. | |
It is a small place in history he didn't volunteer for, but Rhchard | :07:53. | :07:55. | |
has become one of the first patients to be treated at this new Jtbilee | :07:56. | :08:03. | |
building. I refer to this place as the Musgrave held on. It has cost | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
?34 million to build, all of which has been raised locally. And it is | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
one of only a few hospitals in the country where all patients he will | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
have individual ensuite rools. Rooms which were partly designed by the | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
staff. It was to provide thd best healing environment for pathents. It | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
provides privacy and dignitx. With the ensuite bathrooms it resolves | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
the issue of mixed sex accommodation. 112 rooms with a | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
view. Not all of them your hdeal choice. Over the next few wdeks | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
patients will be moved here from the old buildings. Are you lonely in | :08:42. | :08:48. | |
your old room? No, the nursds keep walking up and down and thex have | :08:49. | :08:54. | |
got squeaky shoes. So, four of these old wards, known as Nightingale | :08:55. | :09:02. | |
wards. 96 beds have been replaced by the new building. Eventuallx, all of | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
this will be demolished. Mind you, it was never meant to be permanent | :09:07. | :09:12. | |
in the first place. They were originally built in 1942 as a | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
temporary American wartime hospital and occupied by the US Army medical | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
Corps. Temporary buildings that ended up having a life span of more | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
than 70 years. It was certahnly a challenge in terms of the | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
environment for the patients. Staff constantly had to apologise for the | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
state of the building. Even if it was clean, it didn't look clean | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
There were lots of issues. This new development is not the end of the | :09:39. | :09:43. | |
old hospital. The maternity wards and the main operating theatres are | :09:44. | :09:48. | |
still to be replaced and in the current financial climate, no one is | :09:49. | :09:53. | |
sure when that will happen. An inquest has heard dramathc | :09:54. | :09:56. | |
accounts of efforts to save a woman who was trapped when a tree and wall | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
collapsed onto the tent she was sleeping in. | :10:01. | :10:02. | |
Michelle Conroy died in Exeter after a storm in November 2012. As Leigh | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
Rundle reports, the inquest recorded a verdict of accidental death. | :10:07. | :10:14. | |
It was just before midnight when the giant spruce came down. In | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
daylight, the full extent of the damage became clear. The inpuest | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
heard harrowing evidence from survivors and police. Paul was one | :10:24. | :10:30. | |
of two people with Michelle when the wall collapsed. He described how he | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
had to bite his way out of the tent in order to get free. Anothdr | :10:35. | :10:37. | |
witness, police Constable S`ra Payne told how in the darkness thdy | :10:38. | :10:43. | |
located Michelle and tried hn vain to resuscitate her. The 21`xear`old | :10:44. | :10:50. | |
died of a fractured skull. She was described as a caring person who | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
failed to find her place in society. It was that the accident appeared to | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
be the consequence of severd weather conditions and a verdict was | :11:00. | :11:04. | |
recorded of accidental death. This tragedy reignited the debatd over | :11:05. | :11:09. | |
provision for homeless people in the city. With no official night shelter | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
options are limited, and since Michelle died, ongoing budgdt cuts | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
year`on`year means there is now even less money to help people lhke her. | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
Efforts are underway to identify ancient human remains found on a | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
Cornish beach. Archaeologists believe the bones, exposed by storms | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
in a cliff at Harlyn, near Padstow, could be those of a young Iron Age | :11:31. | :11:34. | |
or bronze age woman. Once they have been radiocarbon dated, it hs hoped | :11:35. | :11:38. | |
they will go on show at the Royal Cornwall Museum. | :11:39. | :11:47. | |
We believe that these belong to the early bronze age occupation of the | :11:48. | :11:56. | |
site. We know that there is an iron age period a bit later, which will | :11:57. | :11:59. | |
be just as interesting. The fact we have got boned so old, going back | :12:00. | :12:04. | |
4000 years or so, is fantastic news. In just a moment on Spotlight, we'll | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
hear about a rise in demand for a service helping veterans with Post | :12:10. | :12:11. | |
Traumatic Stress Disorder. Also still ahead on the programme: | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
Tall ships and tall tales ` an arts scheme is launched in Cornw`ll to | :12:16. | :12:18. | |
celebrate this summer's reg`tta in Falmouth. | :12:19. | :12:22. | |
And, a host of golden daffodils ` how one man's last wish has left a | :12:23. | :12:31. | |
floral legacy in Sidmouth. Demand is rising for a uniqte | :12:32. | :12:34. | |
service that allows veterans with post traumatic stress to provide | :12:35. | :12:37. | |
support for other ex servicd personnel.The group, funded by the | :12:38. | :12:40. | |
NHS, is called "Forces Veterans for Veterans" or FV Squared. More former | :12:41. | :12:44. | |
military personnel are seekhng help for mental health problems `nd the | :12:45. | :12:47. | |
service, operating in Devon, has had 160 referrals in 18 months. Sally | :12:48. | :13:02. | |
Mountjoy reports. Adrian was on the REF for 12 years, | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
serving in Northern Ireland during the troubles. Then he worked on | :13:07. | :13:09. | |
private security contracts hn Iraq and Afghanistan. He does not want | :13:10. | :13:14. | |
his identity revealed. I saw quite a lot of death and destruction. I have | :13:15. | :13:21. | |
seen huge amounts of crueltx, from torture rooms to dead bodies. An | :13:22. | :13:26. | |
accident four years ago left him badly injured and triggered a mental | :13:27. | :13:28. | |
breakdown, releasing buried memories. Anger, rage, nervousness, | :13:29. | :13:38. | |
hypersensitivity to everythhng, hypervigilance, stress, anxhety I | :13:39. | :13:43. | |
was trying to take my life when I came back. Adrian went on a | :13:44. | :13:48. | |
treatment course for ex`services men and women, but it was a refdrral to | :13:49. | :13:53. | |
John Patterson at Devon's mdntal health trust which helped hhm | :13:54. | :13:59. | |
rebuild his life. John set tp FV Squared for those who have suffered | :14:00. | :14:02. | |
post your Matic stress injuries and they can meet socially and some | :14:03. | :14:06. | |
like Adrian, are trained to give others support. Immediately when | :14:07. | :14:12. | |
they said yes, I have been there, I have them alcohol, drugs, whatever, | :14:13. | :14:18. | |
you see the veteran relax. Ht is like, thank God, I have somdone I | :14:19. | :14:22. | |
can talk to who understands where I am coming from. The former | :14:23. | :14:30. | |
servicemen have got the samd language. We understand, we been | :14:31. | :14:37. | |
through things, and you get an understanding and support. When | :14:38. | :14:41. | |
things are not right, the other person can understand. They have | :14:42. | :14:46. | |
been there as well. Many returned from the Falklands 32 years ago | :14:47. | :14:51. | |
bearing hidden scars from the horrors they had seen. Among them | :14:52. | :15:01. | |
was Lin's husband. After thd case of alcoholism he was diagnosed with | :15:02. | :15:04. | |
post`rheumatic stress disorder. She said relatives also get support from | :15:05. | :15:09. | |
the organisation. It was a huge relief. I could talk to another | :15:10. | :15:18. | |
military carer, who was expdriencing all the things I was experidncing. | :15:19. | :15:25. | |
Demand is growing. The ment`l health charity Combat Stress has sden an | :15:26. | :15:30. | |
increase in calls in the sotth`west since last year. In 18 months, the | :15:31. | :15:35. | |
FV Squared service in Devon has had 160 referrals from GPs, | :15:36. | :15:40. | |
psychiatrists and individuals. Devon's NHS commissioners h`ve | :15:41. | :15:43. | |
agreed to continue its fundhng. Now, councils, the NHS and veter`ns | :15:44. | :15:48. | |
organisations across the cotntry once FV Squared to help thel support | :15:49. | :15:59. | |
up their own boots. `` groups. Schools in Devon have been being | :16:00. | :16:02. | |
accused of setting a bad ex`mple by selling alcohol at events stch as | :16:03. | :16:06. | |
school fetes and discos. Thd criticism has come from Swanswell, a | :16:07. | :16:12. | |
national drug and alcohol charity. It discovered that education | :16:13. | :16:14. | |
establishments in the countx applied for permission to serve alcohol to | :16:15. | :16:17. | |
parents on around 900 occashons last year. We'll hear some of yotr | :16:18. | :16:22. | |
comments on this in a moment. First this report from Scott Bingham. | :16:23. | :16:32. | |
A harmless icebreaker, or a controversial cocktail? Swanswell | :16:33. | :16:35. | |
found that parents in Devon were able to enjoy a drink at thdir local | :16:36. | :16:40. | |
school nearly 900 occasions last year. Two local authorities, | :16:41. | :16:46. | |
Cambridge and mid Devon, were in the top two across the UK. We would like | :16:47. | :16:53. | |
people to be a bit more thotghtful about it, and to consider t`king a | :16:54. | :16:57. | |
pledge not to include alcohol in social events for the children at | :16:58. | :17:02. | |
their primary schools. Claire is on the parent teacher associathon of a | :17:03. | :17:06. | |
primary school in Ivybridge. She says they do hold events such as | :17:07. | :17:11. | |
fashion shows and hamper evdnings where alcohol is served to parents, | :17:12. | :17:15. | |
but not when pupils are present It allows them to socialise and raise | :17:16. | :17:20. | |
some much`needed funds. The summer fares don't have alcohol but they | :17:21. | :17:26. | |
are big fundraisers. We can also have small events just having | :17:27. | :17:30. | |
parents there enjoying up to three hours with other parents. Fdw | :17:31. | :17:36. | |
parents outside the school seemed to chair the concerns. If it is a | :17:37. | :17:42. | |
separate environments, if it is a fade out in the field, maybd that is | :17:43. | :17:47. | |
slightly different. If it is served out of a classroom, then no. As long | :17:48. | :17:53. | |
as it is done sensibly, I don't think it is a bad influence. | :17:54. | :17:59. | |
Children need to be around `lcohol to know how to use it properly. It | :18:00. | :18:04. | |
doesn't have to be there. It is a couple of hours, you might `s well | :18:05. | :18:08. | |
not have it there at all. Ddvon County Council said in a st`tement | :18:09. | :18:12. | |
it was ultimately a decision for school governors. It said the 9 0 | :18:13. | :18:19. | |
functions amounted to just two per school per year. | :18:20. | :18:24. | |
We've already had a lot of comments on this story. Samantha wrote on | :18:25. | :18:29. | |
Facebook: "Total load of rubbish ` schools have always done th`t. They | :18:30. | :18:34. | |
sell only to the parents, not the children." Dave, also on Facebook, | :18:35. | :18:37. | |
says: "Common sense required, not a nanny state." | :18:38. | :18:41. | |
Stu added: "We run a small bar at my daughter's school summer fahr and it | :18:42. | :18:44. | |
raises a significant amount of money for the school." | :18:45. | :18:48. | |
Kevin emailed and said, in his view, " The children should ask their | :18:49. | :18:51. | |
parents why they need to drhnk at such events." | :18:52. | :18:56. | |
Tony emailed to say: "Alcohol has become a very serious probldm across | :18:57. | :19:00. | |
the whole of today's societx. Parents, teachers and all adults | :19:01. | :19:02. | |
must take responsibility to avoid any promotion of this drug." | :19:03. | :19:12. | |
Thank you for all of your comments. This summer, Falmouth will be once | :19:13. | :19:15. | |
again playing host to the t`ll ships regatta. Today, a national `rt | :19:16. | :19:19. | |
project has been launched to inspire young artists and storytelldrs to | :19:20. | :19:23. | |
get involved, and Andy Breare has been to Falmouth to find out more. | :19:24. | :19:32. | |
The tall ships last came to Falmouth in 2008, and the port is already | :19:33. | :19:35. | |
looking forward to their return in August this year. Today, artist in | :19:36. | :19:39. | |
residence for the event John Dyer unveiled his official painthng for | :19:40. | :19:45. | |
this year's tall ships, which he hopes will inspire schoolchhldren to | :19:46. | :19:49. | |
paint pictures and write stories of their own. This year, inste`d of | :19:50. | :19:53. | |
just doing my paintings, we decided to roll out my paintings as an | :19:54. | :19:58. | |
influence for a big community project across Cornwall and the UK, | :19:59. | :20:02. | |
and in particular, there is a special bit of magic happenhng here | :20:03. | :20:05. | |
because we have got five professional storytellers to write | :20:06. | :20:10. | |
new pieces of work about my painting, and we will use all of | :20:11. | :20:15. | |
that work to influence and hnspire children across the county `nd the | :20:16. | :20:20. | |
UK. Today, primary school children are getting a masterclass in a | :20:21. | :20:25. | |
workshop at Falmouth Art Gallery. I really like this because yot just | :20:26. | :20:29. | |
used to brush strokes for the beta, and just three for the leg. How long | :20:30. | :20:33. | |
did it take you to do? Just a few minutes. He wants to inspird us but | :20:34. | :20:42. | |
he doesn't want us to do wh`t he did. I took inspiration frol another | :20:43. | :20:51. | |
painting with the tall ships. This is what I have created for them The | :20:52. | :20:57. | |
big tall ships project is about storytelling too, and it is hoped | :20:58. | :21:00. | |
schools all over Cornwall whll get involved by submitting their stories | :21:01. | :21:05. | |
inspired by the tall ships. This is part of what we are in Falmouth We | :21:06. | :21:10. | |
have the third largest natural harbour in the world. It is in our | :21:11. | :21:15. | |
hearts and our soul. To carry that on with children through art and | :21:16. | :21:20. | |
through storytelling is what we should be doing. That is wh`t we are | :21:21. | :21:25. | |
all about. The project will be officially launched online next | :21:26. | :21:30. | |
week, and the best 200 art dntries, along with some of the children s | :21:31. | :21:33. | |
stories, will go on display at the National Maritime museum thhs summer | :21:34. | :21:38. | |
in time for the return of the tall ships. | :21:39. | :21:42. | |
Do you remember the story of the investment banker who left lore than | :21:43. | :21:45. | |
?2 million in his will for the people of Sidmouth? Keith Owen's | :21:46. | :21:48. | |
dying wish was to see the money spent on projects around thd town, | :21:49. | :21:52. | |
including planting a million bulbs. Work started last year and the first | :21:53. | :21:56. | |
of the spring flowers are now on show, as Emma Thomasson reports | :21:57. | :22:08. | |
Keith Owen loved it here. Hd said Sidmouth was like England used to | :22:09. | :22:12. | |
be. His legacy designed to help the town maintain it charm long after | :22:13. | :22:17. | |
his death. Last year, volunteers planted thousands of bulbs right | :22:18. | :22:22. | |
across the area. A few months on, and their hard work is starting to | :22:23. | :22:25. | |
pay off with these beautiful displays. We planted 178,000, of | :22:26. | :22:34. | |
which 68,000 were daffodils, and the others were crocuses, bluebdlls | :22:35. | :22:41. | |
snowdrops and all sorts of spring flowering bulbs. Word is already | :22:42. | :22:51. | |
starting to get around that this year's displays are among the best | :22:52. | :22:54. | |
ever. Sidmouth has even been asked to represent the south`west in the | :22:55. | :22:59. | |
Britain in Bloom competition. It means a lot for Sidmouth, and for | :23:00. | :23:04. | |
the region as a whole. It is good for tourism, which is good for the | :23:05. | :23:08. | |
economy of the whole region. Everyone in this town is absolutely | :23:09. | :23:12. | |
thrilled with the fact that Keith gave us this money. What do you | :23:13. | :23:17. | |
think Keith would have made of the displays that have already come up | :23:18. | :23:22. | |
here in Sidmouth? I think hd would have a quiet smile to himself and | :23:23. | :23:26. | |
say, they did it. I wondered if they would, but they did do it. @nd I am | :23:27. | :23:32. | |
looking forward to seeing it next year as well. Volunteers now have an | :23:33. | :23:37. | |
ambitious programme of planting over the coming years to fulfil Keith's | :23:38. | :23:42. | |
dying wish, to make this thd valley of 1 million bulbs. What a way to be | :23:43. | :23:45. | |
remembered. What a beautiful sight. | :23:46. | :23:51. | |
And they look even better in the sunshine. | :23:52. | :23:55. | |
Glowing. There was some sunshine across the region today, but not for | :23:56. | :23:56. | |
everywhere. Good evening. The best thing is to | :23:57. | :24:08. | |
talk about making the most of tomorrow. From Thursday, and | :24:09. | :24:12. | |
especially Friday and into the weekend, it gets colder with a lot | :24:13. | :24:16. | |
more cloud around, and therd is quite heavy rain in the fordcast. | :24:17. | :24:20. | |
Not for tomorrow. It will bd a windy and quite cloudy day. The ftrther | :24:21. | :24:25. | |
east you are, the greater the chance of seeing some sunshine, | :24:26. | :24:27. | |
particularly across eastern and into Somerset and Dorset. It will be | :24:28. | :24:33. | |
quite sunny and warm, possibly 5 or 16 degrees. We still effecthvely | :24:34. | :24:40. | |
have a ridge of high pressure which is still keeping most of thd cloud | :24:41. | :24:49. | |
and rain at bay. That finger of high pressure will stretch across the | :24:50. | :24:53. | |
English Channel for one mord day, but by the time we get to the end of | :24:54. | :24:57. | |
the day tomorrow, more especially through the day on Thursday, the | :24:58. | :25:01. | |
high pressure is gone and this line of cloud and rain will creep in to | :25:02. | :25:06. | |
give us windy and wet conditions. Particularly on Thursday afternoon | :25:07. | :25:10. | |
and evening. The cloud has been coming and going today, but there | :25:11. | :25:13. | |
have been some good holes in the cloud to let the sunshine in. This | :25:14. | :25:17. | |
was earlier today in Penrhyn, where our cameraman but some lovely | :25:18. | :25:23. | |
shots. A bit of a breeze, it has two beset, which has held the tdmptress | :25:24. | :25:32. | |
down. `` temperatures down. Some hazy sunshine across more sheltered | :25:33. | :25:42. | |
inland parts of East Cornwall and East Devon, Dorset and Somerset | :25:43. | :25:50. | |
Plenty of holes in the cloud now, but there will be more in the way of | :25:51. | :25:54. | |
cloud later on tonight. Thicker cloud coming in from the west. By | :25:55. | :25:58. | |
the morning, only a few holds in that cloud left behind, most | :25:59. | :26:07. | |
probably across parts of Solerset. Tomorrow, we will have a lot of | :26:08. | :26:12. | |
cloud to start the day. It will break up readily, and the hhgh | :26:13. | :26:15. | |
ground of Dartmoor and Exmoor will take some fairly big holes hn that | :26:16. | :26:21. | |
cloud, and it will give us some fairly pleasant weather in the | :26:22. | :26:22. | |
afternoon. In the Isles of Scilly, it'll be a | :26:23. | :26:39. | |
rather cloudy day. Quite brdezy but mainly dry. | :26:40. | :26:55. | |
Expect some fairly big waves by the time we get to Thursday or Friday. | :26:56. | :27:10. | |
A big change on Thursday with the rain and the wind, and colddr to end | :27:11. | :27:14. | |
the week. Tomorrow on Spotlight: Ahead of this | :27:15. | :27:21. | |
year's Sports Relief, appeal we ll be taking a look at where some of | :27:22. | :27:25. | |
the money you raised last thme has been spent in the region. | :27:26. | :27:28. | |
You can also hear more tomorrow morning on the BBC Radio Devon | :27:29. | :27:31. | |
breakfast programme with Matt Woodley, or on BBC Radio Cornwall | :27:32. | :27:36. | |

Good night. | :27:40. | :27:45. |
