:02:23. > :02:26.taken where I'm holding him and she's holding her, literally,

:02:45. > :02:48.Yeah, it was weird, it was really strange.

:02:49. > :02:54.It was nice to see your face as well because no-one knew I was in labour,

:02:55. > :02:58.so it was just a case of saying to everyone, "Oh, by the way,

:02:59. > :03:00.I've just popped out a baby on Christmas Day!"

:03:20. > :03:22.The fancy dress "Lyme Lunge", as it's known, was organised

:03:23. > :03:25.by the Rotary Club to raise money for MacMillan Cancer Support.

:03:26. > :03:33.My very first one in 2009 was for CLIC Sargent and we got

:03:34. > :03:37.I think barely 50 people in the water, so, yes, every year

:03:38. > :03:40.we've increased our numbers up and people come from a long,

:03:41. > :03:49.I haven't done it before and they talked me into it!

:03:50. > :04:09.We've had a fairly grey and damp day across the South West.

:04:10. > :04:12.We've still got bits and pieces of rain out there.

:04:13. > :04:15.Nothing too heavy, and I think further north and east we've got

:04:16. > :04:16.largely dry conditions and some clear spells.

:04:17. > :04:19.So rurally, some of us could get a touch of frost overnight.

:04:20. > :04:21.Most towns and cities, though, hovering that little bit

:04:22. > :04:24.above freezing at two or three degrees.

:04:25. > :04:26.Tomorrow, once any rain starts to clear, it

:04:27. > :04:33.You will notice the difference temperature-wise.

:04:34. > :04:36.They will be struggling a bit with highs of just five or six.

:04:37. > :04:43.But Tuesday itself looks like being dry and bright with sunshine.

:04:44. > :04:45.More cloud as we head towards the end of the week

:04:46. > :04:48.as temperatures start to climb up a bit.

:04:49. > :04:53.We'll be back tomorrow, but in the meantime,

:04:54. > :05:05.We will be back tomorrow. Happy New Year.

:05:06. > :05:14.For many, New Year's Day was a shocker with all of that rain

:05:15. > :05:19.around. Tomorrow will be sunny, but it is getting colder. This is rain

:05:20. > :05:23.clearing from the south-east. These specks of white as snow mixed in

:05:24. > :05:25.with showers across parts of northern England, particularly

:05:26. > :05:31.across Scotland, low levels here. I say that they hazard in northern and

:05:32. > :05:36.eastern areas. I would not rule out slippery areas almost anywhere by

:05:37. > :05:40.the morning, by which time temperatures will be close to or

:05:41. > :05:44.below freezing in many places. A bright and sunny start, but still

:05:45. > :05:47.wintry showers, sliding down the North Sea coast. Some snow down at

:05:48. > :05:53.quite low levels to the north of Scotland. Here, the snow will turn

:05:54. > :05:54.to rain. Something milder creeping in off the Atlantic as
