midland is very safe. it is safe and very loving community, a community where you knew if you did anything wrong and never saw you they would tell on you. we were free to go everywhere in midland. we went on bikes to a little shopping center to eat lunch at the drug counter there, at the pharmacy, drugstore, i had lots of really good friends that i was with for all of those years, and i was still very close to all the people in midland. in fact, i hike all years, with a group of four other middle and friends of mine. it is really terrific now to be with them because now it takes five of us to remember somebody's name, but we also know each other's history, we know all of our old boyfriends, we knew all the same things about each other because we all went elementary and junior high school together and there is great security alliance in having friends that were your friends when you were a child and having that kind of history of friendship. george also grew up in midland. the bushes lived there until we we

midland, midland you write in the 19 fifties was supportive but it also could be insulating. in what ways was insulating and how did that shape or? >> well she's an only child so i think that is also always insulating in a way. it can sometimes be a lonely existence and there weren't a lot of folks who came in from the outside. or when they did, and they came into the oil business, it took them a little time to get adjusted. i think that people had their own hide bound ways of being and their own divides as to where you were in the social stratosphere. whether you were a wildcat or. you know they used to say about odessa that you know, you raised hell in odessa and that you raise your kids in midland so there was a certain way of behaving in a propriety for that and you went to the messages -- methodist church. and you went to the metho ist church, you went to the episcopal church, you k ow, in some of the ways f a small town ame ica everywhere. cr> but i think people ave to be dependent on each o her and had to because it c uld be kind of harsh. cr> >> midland today is, h s

georgia also grew up in midland. the bushes lived in midland until we were in the eighth grade and they took his oil company offshore and they moved to houston. so from elementary school those same great friends of mine were in the first grade and second grade with george and his friends that he played little league baseball with were my friends. and we used to invite all of them to the white house, all of those friends. we had a very really festive valentine dinner once with those friends of ours. and one of my friends who came from that dinner had breast cancer and she was dying and we knew she died in april after that valentines. but it was really wonderful to have the chance to be with those friends and to know that they were our friends for our whole life, and they'd be our friends for the rest of our life. >> you even went hiking with that group of friends when you were first lady. >> that's right. we hiked for years before george became president, and we had entered the lottery, the concession lottery to hike

england and wales, again the threat of heavy, it may be thundery showers developing through the midlands in the south with sunshine, a little bit better further north—west, but still chilly near those north—east coasts. as we head on into friday, here it is, the next area of low pressure starts to push in off the atlantic. lots of isobars on the charts, so it'll turn windier initially across the west, then spreading its way eastwards through the day. the rain will be persistent — northern ireland, especially western scotland, into the cumbrian fells, perhaps north—west wales. but i think central and eastern areas should tend to stay dry with variable amounts of cloud and some sunshine. so here, we get 20—21 celsius, mid—to—high teens further north. into the weekend, it remains unsettled with the pressure always lower, so it'll be quite windy at times and there will be rain around, particularly across the north and the west of the country. here, it will be windier and wetter, whereas further south and east you are, especially on sunday, it could be a bit brighter and feel a little bit war
