sian and jeffrey edwards say the device had been outside their home all their lives, and they thoughtols against it to remove the soil. imagine their surprise when the bomb squad was called in to detonate the device. it turned out to be a 29 kg naval projectile. a lucky escape. stay with us here on bbc news. more news at the top of the hour. bye for now. hello, there. plenty of wintry scenes recorded by our weather watchers across the uk, throughout the weekend, such as here in derbyshire, with the lying snow, but further south, across much of england and south wales, then it turned milder on sunday, with outbreaks of rain moving northwards, and for all of us, the current cold spell will be coming to an end as we head through this week. it will be turning milder, but the payback is it's also going to be wetter and windier for much of the time. now, we've seen this deep area of low pressure just roll its way northwards and eastwards, strong, gusty winds towards channel coasts through the night. still some heavy downpours of rain around, snow over any elevation. this is how we're starti

sian and jeffrey edwards say the device — which weighed nearly 30 kilos — had been outside their homess nothing horrible happened. stay with us here on bbc news. hello there. today has been a little bit quieter compared to yesterday afternoon and through the overnight period where we saw substantial amounts of snow spread across parts of england and wales, leading to some disruption. the rest of this afternoon, it does stay cold, maybe not quite as cold as the last few days for england and wales. and we'll see further rain moving up from the south with some sleetiness over the higher ground. so that rain coming and going for the rest of the afternoon through the evening. but we'll start to see some more substantial heavy rain pushing up from the south as we move through tonight. and as that bumps into the colder air lying across the northern half of the uk, we'll start to see some snow with the higher ground of wales into northern england. so less cold across southern areas through tonight, but another cold one to come with the widespread frost and some ice to watch out for across sco

sian and jeffrey edwards say the device — which weighed nearly 30 kilos — had been outside their home switch from snow to rain through this coming week. out there for the rest of the day, still some snow flurries around across eastern scotland and we could see some on the tops of the welsh hills. but here and across much of central southern england, we're talking outbreaks of rain rather than snow and with a bit of brightness between, some downpours across the far south. northwest england, much of scotland and northern ireland will have a dry afternoon. there will be some lingering mist and low cloud for some where temperatures will struggle to get above freezing. and indeed, across scotland, even with some sunshine, some sheltered valleys will stay subzero all day long. but 11 degrees possible in the south, where tonight another surge of wetter weather, some heavy rain at times and some gusty winds spreading its way northwards. snow showers could be quite frequent in eastern scotland, adding to an ice risk here. and there could be ice anywhere where the ground is damp or the snow lyi

sian and jeffrey edwards say the device — which weighed nearly 30 kilos — had been outside their home because they're far too busy putting up the christmas decorations and money toward me was wednesday night was pretty sleepless because there were two on a street map to be evacuated but gloucestershire which is around 60 miles in three hours away by boat, they arrived with a couple of thoughts and what they found was a live bomb that had a tiny amount of charge and jeffrey taught us the bomb disposal unit, we are not leaving the house and less danger. if it doesn't, we come up with it. what they've been using as an ornament is a £64 29 kilo projectile and a keen gardener to bang her instrument on it to get dirt. it was later detonated. this is all about bond villain. photographer and he who has been a fan since the age of ten wanted to show the mum roger moore film is been taking videos and photos of bond villains of the past and started an exhibition of them you can see on the latest photos here in this bbc website is the christopher lee and charles who played clouds. it is a very in
