:00:00. > :00:00.Welcome to Spotlight. so it's goodbye from me,
:00:00. > :00:07.Tonight: Are free bus passes to blame for cuts
:00:08. > :00:11.Busy services are facing the axe - the cost of concessionary
:00:12. > :00:14.passes for older people is being partly blamed.
:00:15. > :00:19.We'll assess the potential impact on those who use the services.
:00:20. > :00:22.Plans for the most-flooded town in the country.
:00:23. > :00:25.This is the most important decision people in our town can make -
:00:26. > :00:31.in the last 50 years and then 50 years into our future.
:00:32. > :00:36.But will these multi-million pound flood protection plans be the answer
:00:37. > :00:40.We look back at a catalogue of flooding events.
:00:41. > :00:42.The hidden cost of parking - motorists baffled because
:00:43. > :00:46.the charges are completely obscured by the ticket machine.
:00:47. > :00:49.Before, the prices were on the top and anyone could see them,
:00:50. > :00:53.but now it is very, very difficult, so I'm afraid the council have made
:00:54. > :00:59.And the lovers lured by the lamp - the Somerset tradition
:01:00. > :01:22.which could be extinguished unless a new lighter is found.
:01:23. > :01:25.It's being described as another blow to public
:01:26. > :01:29.Tonight there's anger at plans to cut more bus routes,
:01:30. > :01:35.Local Link has confirmed its axing 11 routes, blaming increased
:01:36. > :01:39.overheads and a fall in the amount of money it gets when people travel
:01:40. > :01:45.The cuts will leave some areas of Torbay with no regular service
:01:46. > :01:47.and local people fear they will be cut off.
:01:48. > :01:53.Here's our south Devon reporter John Ayres.
:01:54. > :01:56.Local Link run some of the more awkward routes around South Devon,
:01:57. > :02:00.Many of these services link residential areas
:02:01. > :02:04.with the hospital and supermarket, making them highly valued
:02:05. > :02:07.by their users, especially among those who find it difficult
:02:08. > :02:14.The number 25 serves the village of Stoke Gabriel.
:02:15. > :02:16.42 buses a week to Paignton will go altogether.
:02:17. > :02:20.My husband has got a car but we don't use it all the time,
:02:21. > :02:24.because he has got MS, and this is my only access way
:02:25. > :02:28.I'm learning to drive, so I haven't actually got a car yet,
:02:29. > :02:32.and there is no way to get out of here unless you have a bus
:02:33. > :02:39.More than 1000 people live here and more homes are on the way.
:02:40. > :02:42.News that this service is to go has horrified the community.
:02:43. > :02:44.One of the reasons those houses were approved
:02:45. > :02:46.is because we are classed as a sustainable village,
:02:47. > :02:48.so we have the bus service, we have the pubs,
:02:49. > :02:52.Take one of those away and we are not quite
:02:53. > :02:55.South Devon has a high proportion of senior citizens
:02:56. > :03:00.Bus companies are reimbursed by the Government through the council,
:03:01. > :03:02.but Torbay picked up ?4 million of that bill last year
:03:03. > :03:05.because there was not enough money to cover it.
:03:06. > :03:08.The Government says funding of local bus routes is for local authorities
:03:09. > :03:17.and it spends ?250 million per year supporting services.
:03:18. > :03:20.Derek French, who runs Local Link, says it has become increasingly
:03:21. > :03:22.difficult to operate in this marketplace with fare-stage routes,
:03:23. > :03:24.due to increased overheads and reduced income, particularly
:03:25. > :03:26.mentioning the concessionary fares and how much they are reimbursed.
:03:27. > :03:29.He says the company will continue to operate in other parts
:03:30. > :03:32.of the transport industry, and they would like to thank
:03:33. > :03:44.their customers for their loyal support over the last 13 years.
:03:45. > :03:52.And on and on and post about whether they would pay to safeguard the bus
:03:53. > :03:58.but it cannot be a contribution, you either pay the full fare or use your
:03:59. > :04:01.past. Torbay Council is looking at ways of keeping these routes going.
:04:02. > :04:04.Obviously, there are other operators in the bay and we also working
:04:05. > :04:07.They are currently building a business case to develop new key
:04:08. > :04:11.transport and we will be looking into the system in any way we can.
:04:12. > :04:13.If there is to be continuity of service beyond April,
:04:14. > :04:16.a new operator will have to be found in the next few days.
:04:17. > :04:20.But which operator will take over if the books don't balance?
:04:21. > :04:22.Lianna Etkind from Campaign For Better Transport told me this
:04:23. > :04:29.This is really bad news, and my heart goes out to all those
:04:30. > :04:32.people who are going to be wondering how to get to their jobs,
:04:33. > :04:35.how to get to school and college, or even how to get
:04:36. > :04:38.I think the local council, now, it's going to be
:04:39. > :04:41.talking to other operators, but will have to think creatively,
:04:42. > :04:44.perhaps resorting to community transport to keep
:04:45. > :04:50.and also keeping in mind the benefits of local buses
:04:51. > :04:56.What do you think the real problem is, here?
:04:57. > :04:58.Because concessions have been cited as to blame.
:04:59. > :05:03.Do you think free bus passes are really damaging the bus system?
:05:04. > :05:07.I don't think it is down to free bus passes.
:05:08. > :05:10.Bus passes are a really important benefit to older
:05:11. > :05:13.and disabled people, and I think that keeps our roads
:05:14. > :05:16.safer by enabling people a way to get out and about and not
:05:17. > :05:23.However, the bus industry has gone to a really hard time recently,
:05:24. > :05:26.and today's news is on top of huge cuts from Torbay Council
:05:27. > :05:29.for supporting bus services last year, and the South West generally
:05:30. > :05:31.has seen some of the highest rates of local authority
:05:32. > :05:41.On top of that, the bus service operators' grant, BSOG,
:05:42. > :05:45.has been cut by 20% by central Government.
:05:46. > :05:48.And briefly, Lianna, you say people should get creative
:05:49. > :05:57.The local authority is very soon, from May, going to get new powers
:05:58. > :06:01.under the Bus Services Bill, and they can use these powers
:06:02. > :06:08.to plan local bus networks, to link timetables up to rail
:06:09. > :06:12.stations, and perhaps to cross subsidise buses.
:06:13. > :06:16.My message to the local council would be, just hang on until May,
:06:17. > :06:19.and think about how the Bus Services Bill might bring
:06:20. > :06:25.Lianna Etkind, thank you very much for joining us.
:06:26. > :06:31.A paediatrician has pleaded guilty to 17 charges relating
:06:32. > :06:34.to indecent images of children while he was working
:06:35. > :06:37.at the North Devon District Hospital in Barnstaple.
:06:38. > :06:41.Appearing at Exeter Crown Court today, 47-year-old Jonathan Walsh,
:06:42. > :06:44.seen here in the red jacket, and who now lives in Lancashire,
:06:45. > :06:48.admitted seven charges of making indecent images and ten charges
:06:49. > :06:53.Dr Walsh, who was sacked from the hospital when charged,
:06:54. > :07:01.None of the images relate to children in his care.
:07:02. > :07:04.It's been described as the most important decision Looe has
:07:05. > :07:08.Plans to tackle the constant flooding of the Cornish
:07:09. > :07:11.It'll cost ?55 million, but would help protect
:07:12. > :07:17.the harbour and town as well offer improvements for the fishing fleet.
:07:18. > :07:20.Christine Butler has been in the town to see
:07:21. > :07:25.Valentine's Day three years ago, a combination of high spring tides
:07:26. > :07:27.and south-east gales, which forced a tidal surge
:07:28. > :07:34.It was bad but not out of the ordinary.
:07:35. > :07:39.Tides regularly thrust their way through the drains
:07:40. > :07:42.Everyone in Looe agrees that something has got to be done.
:07:43. > :07:45.Looe is the most flooded town in the country, do you know that?
:07:46. > :07:51.In 2014, obviously, we had the major floods.
:07:52. > :07:57.This is phase one, which is lock gates, a walkway,
:07:58. > :08:04.and sealing the seafront more, and an extension to the pier
:08:05. > :08:08.with a small area of breakwater to protect the lock gates.
:08:09. > :08:11.And the lock gates will be here, and obviously
:08:12. > :08:14.with the south-easterly wind, if you have got that tidal surge it
:08:15. > :08:20.Time and tide wait for no man, but now man can't
:08:21. > :08:26.Every household gets a questionnaire,
:08:27. > :08:30.It is not just for defence that is on the table -
:08:31. > :08:32.the creation of an outer harbour could bring big business
:08:33. > :08:38.This is the most important decision people in our town can make
:08:39. > :08:42.in the last 50 years and then 50 years in our future.
:08:43. > :08:44.If we don't have it, I believe that our fishing
:08:45. > :08:51.And our fishermen, they have to go out on the tide and come
:08:52. > :08:53.back in on the tide, but if we had an outer harbour
:08:54. > :09:03.The floods of 2014 forced the Environment Agency
:09:04. > :09:11.Temporary barriers alongside the quayside which would cost
:09:12. > :09:15.The Harbour Commissioners consider that this will not work.
:09:16. > :09:22.When the tide comes in, it comes up through the walls and it
:09:23. > :09:24.comes up through the drainage system, so raising the walls
:09:25. > :09:32.and building a wall around the harbour would not work.
:09:33. > :09:34.The Environment Agency says it can provide some money to support
:09:35. > :09:37.a scheme but the rest will rely on Cornwall Council persuading
:09:38. > :09:46.Christine Butler, BBC Spotlight, Looe.
:09:47. > :09:48.Now, car-parking is one subject which always attracts a lot
:09:49. > :09:52.Usually it's the charges which are controversial,
:09:53. > :09:55.but it seems the hidden cost of parking is the latest
:09:56. > :10:00.cause of frustration for motorists in Exeter.
:10:01. > :10:04.Hamish Marshall has been to investigate.
:10:05. > :10:07.I have travelled into the city centre and I have
:10:08. > :10:11.All I need to do now is find some change,
:10:12. > :10:17.find out where the machine is, and how much it's going to cost.
:10:18. > :10:19.Well, here's where you pay, but the question,
:10:20. > :10:26.Not very easy, because the charges are hidden behind the machine.
:10:27. > :10:28.It should be very conspicuous, but actually there it is incredibly
:10:29. > :10:35.Before, the prices were on the top and everyone could see them,
:10:36. > :10:39.but now it is very, very difficult, so I'm afraid the council have made
:10:40. > :10:44.And that's led to all sorts of contortions for people
:10:45. > :10:47.trying to see the charges, in case they get caught out
:10:48. > :10:55.I went round to the left-hand side of the well-placed machine.
:10:56. > :10:58.I peered at an angle and then I gradually worked my way
:10:59. > :11:01.down until I figured out it was ?1 per hour.
:11:02. > :11:04.What has actually been going on here?
:11:05. > :11:07.Well, the City Council tell me it was all because they were
:11:08. > :11:09.standardising their car parking boards ride across the city.
:11:10. > :11:13.The problem is, though, the fixings for this one
:11:14. > :11:15.were too low, which means, when the board was put on,
:11:16. > :11:20.They say they are sticking to their contractors
:11:21. > :11:23.to get them to fix it, and they are promising to be
:11:24. > :11:26.lenient if anyone does get caught out on pricing.
:11:27. > :11:30.Just a reminder here that it is ?1 an hour.
:11:31. > :11:36.Hamish Marshall, BBC Spotlight, Exeter.
:11:37. > :11:39.This story has prompted a lot of comments on our
:11:40. > :11:45.Sue says: "Who on earth stood there and decided this was the best
:11:46. > :11:47.place to fix the payment machine...twice the expense for not

:11:54. > :11:56.the parking regulations...and I know because I had to try
:11:57. > :12:06.Go to facebook.com/bbcspotlight to see what others are saying.
:12:07. > :12:10.Romance is in the air on Spotlight later:
:12:11. > :12:18.The letters from the front line which reveal how love endured
:12:19. > :12:23.And made a man of me. The only one I ever loved.
:12:24. > :12:26.The letters from the front line which reveal how love endured
:12:27. > :12:29.And if roses aren't your thing, choose from 1,700 other species,
:12:30. > :12:34.for the St Valentine's Day flower count.
:12:35. > :12:37.Now do you enjoy a trip to the garden centre,
:12:38. > :12:40.a visit to a gallery, or just chatting over a cup of tea?
:12:41. > :12:43.If you do you might be exactly the kind of person needed by
:12:44. > :12:47.They're calling for more volunteers to buddy up with someone
:12:48. > :12:50.with dementia in a scheme to help tackle loneliness.
:12:51. > :12:55.Harriet Bradshaw has been to Newquay to find out how it works.
:12:56. > :13:01.She's got Alzheimer's, which affects her memory
:13:02. > :13:06.and her thinking, and the knock-on consequences can leave
:13:07. > :13:11.There you go, Pam. Nice and gentle.
:13:12. > :13:16.For Pam, she's getting out more and more now thanks
:13:17. > :13:30.Yeah, we do. Yeah.
:13:31. > :13:33.We are a good partnership, aren't we?
:13:34. > :13:37.Yeah, yeah. We have a lot of fun.
:13:38. > :13:40.They've been paired through a new scheme giving people
:13:41. > :13:44.with dementia the chance to continue the hobbies they love
:13:45. > :13:49.in the community, but there is a shortage of volunteers.
:13:50. > :13:52.The demand is so high for the service in Newquay
:13:53. > :13:54.and St Austell where it's currently being provided, that we've had
:13:55. > :13:57.to close waiting list, and at the moment, for everyone
:13:58. > :14:00.volunteer we have, there are three people waiting to be matched
:14:01. > :14:03.We would like to be able to provide the people
:14:04. > :14:06.with dementia on the waiting list with a volunteer, but also
:14:07. > :14:14.eventually to expand the service across the rest of Cornwall,
:14:15. > :14:18.so that the more people that we have who want to have one to come
:14:19. > :14:21.on board and make a difference, really, the better it is for
:14:22. > :14:24.I find, as well, I've gained more confidence volunteering.
:14:25. > :14:27.I am not one to go out and about much on my own, but,
:14:28. > :14:30.As I say, it's given me more confidence, and,
:14:31. > :14:37.Pam had stopped playing bowls when her husband died,
:14:38. > :14:42.but picking it up again has given her a new lease of life.
:14:43. > :14:47.It's changed my life, getting out of the house and meeting people.
:14:48. > :14:58.The Alzheimer's Society says by 2021 more than 1 million people will be
:14:59. > :14:59.living with dementia, so volunteer work is

:15:09. > :15:12.Next tonight, love and loss - and today of all days is the perfect
:15:13. > :15:16.opportunity to marvel at the enduring power of love

:15:19. > :15:24.They've been made public by descendants to mark
:15:25. > :15:26.the forthcoming centenary of the Battle of Passchendaele.
:15:27. > :15:30.John Henderson's been to meet the great-granddaughter of a soldier
:15:31. > :15:32.who wrote to his wife, telling her:
:15:33. > :15:34."You were the only one I ever loved, the one
:15:35. > :15:47.My darling, if this should ever reach you, it will be a sure sign
:15:48. > :15:52.that I am gone under, and what they of view do not know, but there is
:15:53. > :15:56.one above that will see to you and not let you starve.
:15:57. > :16:00.The language of love undiminished after 100 years.
:16:01. > :16:03.You have been the best and are you deeply. How much, you will never
:16:04. > :16:09.know. Like thousands around him on the
:16:10. > :16:11.battlefield, Private Albert Ford thought constantly about home and
:16:12. > :16:17.his wife and six children who he left behind.
:16:18. > :16:20.The youngest was born in June 1917 and he had already gone to the front
:16:21. > :16:25.so he never saw her. A photograph was taken of the six children to be
:16:26. > :16:30.sent to him, but I do not know whether he did or did not see it.
:16:31. > :16:34.Private Ford was initially a merchant seaman and that his ship
:16:35. > :16:38.was torpedoed and the letters revealed a coach of guilt about
:16:39. > :16:43.taking part in the greatest war. He volunteered to sign up and I
:16:44. > :16:48.think that is why there is this tinge of regret that goes through
:16:49. > :16:53.the letter. It was posted to the front -- he was
:16:54. > :16:58.posted to the front and was killed in action on the 26th of October 19
:16:59. > :17:02.17. The last letter home was made public and in it he tells his wife
:17:03. > :17:06.Edith to marry again if she ever gets the chance.
:17:07. > :17:12.She never did marry again. She kept all of his letters together and died
:17:13. > :17:17.in 1956. Shortly before her death, she claims she saw him in her
:17:18. > :17:21.bedroom. She was certain he had come for her.
:17:22. > :17:27.His great grand daughter who lives in Dartmoor, and do her the latter
:17:28. > :17:40.home is the ultimate love letter. Know that my last were of you...
:17:41. > :17:44.Now it wouldn't be Valentine's Day without flowers, and,
:17:45. > :17:47.if roses aren't your thing, there are plenty of other
:17:48. > :17:50.More than 1,700 different species of flowers have been counted
:17:51. > :17:53.blooming at National Trust properties across the south-west.
:17:54. > :17:56.It's the 12th year for the annual flower count, and although numbers
:17:57. > :17:58.are down on last year, they're still very high and suggest

:18:09. > :18:11."A flower blossoms for its own joy" -
:18:12. > :18:16.And this year they are in abundance on National Trust properties
:18:17. > :18:22.There will always be the staple things in flowers,
:18:23. > :18:25.things like the snowdrops and camellias at this time of year,
:18:26. > :18:27.they are always in flower, so there's always the familiar
:18:28. > :18:30.things, but with a garden like this, there are 1500
:18:31. > :18:33.That's not different plants, that's different types of plants.
:18:34. > :18:35.And there are always going to be surprises.
:18:36. > :18:37.There is always something that has tried to throw up
:18:38. > :18:39.a flower unexpectedly, and that's always
:18:40. > :18:47.As you can see, there are lots of crocus here in front of us,
:18:48. > :18:50.but they are all the same type of crocus, so although there
:18:51. > :18:53.are hundreds of the plants here, this all only counts as one
:18:54. > :18:56.So you do not have to count every single head?
:18:57. > :19:00.No, otherwise I would be here for weeks if I had to do that.
:19:01. > :19:03.This is a carefully planned and it is the only such
:19:04. > :19:08.It originates from Nepal and has a lovely sweet fragrance.
:19:09. > :19:12.Because it blooms in February, it needs all of the ploys it can get
:19:13. > :19:17.to attract bees and other insects in to help the flowers pollinate.
:19:18. > :19:20.Cataloguing all of the different varieties each year offers
:19:21. > :19:24.a moment to reflect on how the garden is evolving.
:19:25. > :19:27.The chance of doing this flower count is a chance to really be
:19:28. > :19:29.able to focus on that, because we are so busy trying
:19:30. > :19:32.to keep on top of the practical, day-to-day gardening,
:19:33. > :19:35.that it is a really nice opportunity just to slow down a bit
:19:36. > :19:38.and focus on what is actually going on in the garden.
:19:39. > :19:41.These are Helleborus, which are otherwise known
:19:42. > :19:49.They are a really, really lovely looking flower.
:19:50. > :19:56.As the years go on, the data may give an insight into changing
:19:57. > :20:00.weather patterns on native and exotic species, and also
:20:01. > :20:05.what needs to be done to keep these gardens coming up roses,
:20:06. > :20:18.and camellias and snowdrops and crocuses and daffodils and tulips...
:20:19. > :20:20.Now, let's set the scene - a spray of flowers,
:20:21. > :20:23.a nice romantic light, after all, this is
:20:24. > :20:30.But in Somerset a romantic light to rival even this has been lit
:20:31. > :20:34.The St Valentine's Day lamp is the county's
:20:35. > :20:39.only working gas lamp, and every February 14 it's lit
:20:40. > :20:42.by the man who spent months restoring it.
:20:43. > :20:45.The ceremony has seen at least one proposal over the years, but,
:20:46. > :20:47.as Michelle Ruminski reports, the gas lighter is now
:20:48. > :20:52.looking for an apprentice to take on the role.
:20:53. > :20:57.Reg's love affair with a Valentine lamp all began when he found
:20:58. > :21:01.Over nearly three decades, he has put his heart
:21:02. > :21:03.and soul into restoring it, decorating it with symbols of love,
:21:04. > :21:10.All I know is I got carried away and, I think, anyway,
:21:11. > :21:13.I fell in love with the lamp by accident, and it controlled me
:21:14. > :21:18.Because I often say, why ever did I start?
:21:19. > :21:21.But having started, rather like in a romance,
:21:22. > :21:30.And it's fair to say that the Valentine gaslamp
:21:31. > :21:33.has a special place in many other people's hearts as well.
:21:34. > :21:38.I think you can't fault it, and I'm just hoping that people
:21:39. > :21:40.will take good care of it, because you won't find anything
:21:41. > :21:48.How many years have you been going to the ceremony?
:21:49. > :21:52.So it really does mean something to you?
:21:53. > :21:55.Yes, no, it does, and a lot of other people around here as well.
:21:56. > :21:57.None more so than Dave and Sue, Reg's daughter.
:21:58. > :22:00.It was here two years ago that I proposed to sue,
:22:01. > :22:02.It was here two years ago that I proposed to Sue,
:22:03. > :22:05.and they brought with me a heart-shaped red cushion
:22:06. > :22:07.and got down on one knee and popped the question.
:22:08. > :22:10.A great shock, but wonderful shock, and now we are planning to get
:22:11. > :22:12.married and live the rest of our lives together.
:22:13. > :22:15.We will always have that history with the Valentine lamp.
:22:16. > :22:18.But, with Reg growing older and with his family living up north,
:22:19. > :22:21.he is urgently looking for someone to replace him.
:22:22. > :22:30.You see, I am looking for a lamp lighter.
:22:31. > :22:38.Tonight, Reg has done the honours for the 23rd time.
:22:39. > :22:44.Many turned out for this Valentines tradition. Who knows? Maybe it will
:22:45. > :22:45.spark someone else to fall in love with it as well.
:22:46. > :22:49.Michel Ruminski, BBC Spotlight, Frome.
:22:50. > :22:55.Let's hope they keep that tradition going. I hate to spoil the romantic
:22:56. > :23:00.scene here, but there was a risk assessment had to be filled in for
:23:01. > :23:06.this lit candle and we have a man standing by, the editor, to put the
:23:07. > :23:11.candle out if it gets dangerous. But that spoils the romantic ambience.
:23:12. > :23:16.We need someone to fan the flames. Do not do that. It is time for the
:23:17. > :23:20.weather forecast. What is it looking like, Holly?
:23:21. > :23:27.Don't worry. Good. I thought you had left me out. I will say that to the
:23:28. > :23:33.end of the forecast. Yes, do not touch the candle. It is Valentines
:23:34. > :23:38.evening and how lovely. Happy Valentine's Day. Roses are red,
:23:39. > :23:43.violets are blue, and for some of us today the sky was to. Here in
:23:44. > :23:47.Cornwall, a lovely picture and springlike. For many of us it was
:23:48. > :23:52.more grave. Low cloud around and a bit of mist and hill fog as well as
:23:53. > :23:56.outbreaks of rain. And it gradually works its way eastwards and improves
:23:57. > :23:59.from the West. Amazingly, tomorrow, we do it again. Another weather
:24:00. > :24:04.front approaching with some styles of heavy rain in the morning. That
:24:05. > :24:09.rain could be quite lively but also possibly bringing thunder. Brighter
:24:10. > :24:13.in the afternoon, much like today, and a bit less breezy than today.
:24:14. > :24:17.This is the weather bug affecting as earlier and that pushes eastwards.
:24:18. > :24:22.You will see this next weather front waiting in the wings. That will go
:24:23. > :24:26.through to the second part of tonight into tomorrow, and it will
:24:27. > :24:30.clear and then higher pressure building its way in on Thursday. It
:24:31. > :24:36.will settle. Comes with a mist, but first I should break. Light winds,
:24:37. > :24:39.dryness, and brightness. That high-pressure doing its best but we
:24:40. > :24:41.have got a weather front approaching, and then it does start
:24:42. > :24:46.to bring you a bit more cloud and maybe just a little bit of rain.
:24:47. > :24:49.More so later in the day. This great stretch of cloud associated with our
:24:50. > :24:53.weather fronts and patchy rain underneath it. This cloud also quite
:24:54. > :24:58.low but it way eastwards. That rain is coming in from the West. Also
:24:59. > :25:01.these showers working their way towards us. That is the picture
:25:02. > :25:05.through this evening and tonight. Quite heavy showers working their
:25:06. > :25:10.way around midnight, and further ease some starry skies initially but
:25:11. > :25:13.some low cloudy mist and hill fog re-bonding. In the early hours some
:25:14. > :25:17.more persistent rain is working its way in across or more. Some odd
:25:18. > :25:21.rumbles of thunder but also a mild night with loads of seven or eight
:25:22. > :25:26.Celsius. Heading through tomorrow morning and a bed of a wet start.
:25:27. > :25:30.Rain could be heavy through the course of the morning. It worked its
:25:31. > :25:35.way eastwards, good news, becomes showery and those showers peel away.
:25:36. > :25:38.Some sunshine coming out. Quite a springlike look into tomorrow
:25:39. > :25:42.afternoon and the wind will be that bit lighter. Initially a brisk
:25:43. > :25:46.southerly but eases into the afternoon, I ran to the
:25:47. > :25:52.south-westerly. These are top temperatures. Height of ten or 11
:25:53. > :25:57.Celsius. As high as 13 or 14 Celsius, so not a bad look for
:25:58. > :26:00.things at all and much milder than we are used to operate the several
:26:01. > :26:06.recent days, especially last week into the weekend. For the Isles of
:26:07. > :26:09.Scilly, early heavy rain should nip through quickly during the morning
:26:10. > :26:15.and much of the day will have sunshine. The risk of some heavy
:26:16. > :26:27.showers. Not too many. Usual times of high water. For servers, the
:26:28. > :26:32.waves are not looking too big. It could be cleaned along the north
:26:33. > :26:37.coast I suspect at first, but went veering around to become choppy. --
:26:38. > :26:40.file servers. Coastal waters forecast, Winter southerly at four
:26:41. > :26:46.or five, and using a late into the afternoon. Rain or showers
:26:47. > :26:49.visibility moderate or good and light but moderate at times.
:26:50. > :26:54.Overall, not looking too bad over the next few days. Although we have
:26:55. > :26:58.got a view things to watch out for, early rain through tomorrow morning
:26:59. > :27:02.and quite heavy and thundery. Could improve come the afternoon. There
:27:03. > :27:05.looking like the most promising day of the next view, with high pressure
:27:06. > :27:10.in charge and winds lighter than they have been. A bit of mist and
:27:11. > :27:13.fog early on should clear and then persistent sunshine on Thursday.
:27:14. > :27:18.Even though that high-pressure stays in charge for Friday, some cloud
:27:19. > :27:22.working in the risk of a bit more rain by day and perhaps more
:27:23. > :27:28.persistent rain into the evening. Into the weekend, I think it tries
:27:29. > :27:30.to stay settled, and a bit of rain but hopefully not too much.
:27:31. > :27:33.Generally a reasonable but hopefully not too much.
:27:34. > :27:39.Generally a reasonable picture. You have not even have any fizz.
:27:40. > :27:42.Come and join us. This is for Valentines night. Thank you very
:27:43. > :27:46.much. Happy Valentine 's night. See you again tomorrow. Cheers. Cheers.
:27:47. > :27:57.Cheers. # I knew you were trouble
:27:58. > :28:19.when you walked in # Now I'm lying
:28:20. > :28:23.on the cold, hard ground
