Today is the 117th consecutive day somewhere in the UK has recorded a temperature of 20°C or higher. The 11th of June was the last time we didn't reach this threshold. Fresher air comes in on Wednesday allowing temperatures to fall, and likely to stay just below 20°C.

Public transport day for me today. All worked very well until train home. Service is disrupted by a 'bicycle on the line'. The mind boggles. #Telford #LDREPORTER

So sad to report the death of Peter Rhodes, a legend of ⁦@ExpressandStar⁩. A moving tribute here from his colleague Mark Andrews. expressandstar.com/news/voic…

Working with Peter Rhodes was great fun and a huge education - he will be truly missed

Deadline is looming. The newsroom is reverberating to the sound of ringing phones, tense hacks hammering away at their keyboards. Any conversations are terse and to the point.

Looks like a serious incident in Ellesmere Road, Shrewsbury. Person lying in the road with paramedics and police. Looking like they are closing the road between Mount Pleasant Road and Hubert Way. #Shrewsbury #Shropshire
