A mild but blustery day with a lot of cloud and outbreaks of rain.

Watch my full forecast here:

The wicker set was stolen from the garden of a house on Whites Wood Lane at some point during the night of Sunday 11 November.

Anyone who recognises the man in the picture above is being asked to contact police.

This 44-tonne lorry is going to be removed from its somewhat precarious parking position at the side of the M180 eastbound later.

The driver was uninjured, according to police.

Officers are warning the lorry's recovery may cause delays for motorists - and it certainly looks like it's not going to be the most straightforward of jobs:

Tilley ended up in Lincoln, 130 miles away from her original home, says the Cats Protection League.

Clear spells this evening but gradually, as the night progresses, amounts of cloud will increase and could even produce the odd spot of rain at times later.

Fairly mild but also rather blustery.

Marie Gibson was "unrecognisable" after she was beaten to death at her home in Louth.

A new week-long Christmas market at Lincoln Castle has kicked off the festivities, external, so we went for a very sneaky peek.

The Christmas Emporium is open to visitors from 4pm on Saturday, December 15 and will run until the following Saturday, December 22.

Ofsted says that intervention and investment by an academic trust has "restored parents and students faith" in a Lincolnshire school.

Somercotes Academy, which is now run by the Tollbar Multi Academy Trust, has been rated as 'good' following an inspection last month.

Inspectors say the investment from the trust has been “instrumental in improving the school environment, the security of the site and the recruitment of high-quality staff.”

The school, previously known as the Birkbeck Community School, was rated "inadequate" by Ofsted in 2014.

A binman had to jump out of the way of a car which tried to overtake his lorry in Spalding.

Take a look at this:

South Holland District Council released this video to raise awareness of the problem, often faced by bin collection teams:

A Louth man who killed his partner in a savage attack in her own home has been convicted of murder.

The jury deliberated for just an hour before convicting 28-year-old Shane Murphy of the murder of 35-year-old Marie Gibson.

Murphy, of Little Lane, Louth, brutally beat Marie with a baseball bat, kicked her and stabbed her with a shard of broken glass following an argument at her home in Lacey Gardens, Louth in June.

He was remanded in custody and will be sentenced later this week.

Just before 15:30 on Wednesday 5 December, police received a report of a sexual assault on a bus heading towards the Carlton Road area of the town.

It was reported that a woman became unwell and was attacked.

Officers are appealing for information about the man pictured.

It's been confirmed that a body found on the island of Tenerife earlier this month is that of the former University of Lincoln student Amy Gerard.

The 28-year-old, originally from Cleethorpes, was reported missing last month after leaving an Irish bar in Puerto de la Cruz.

She had been working at the island's Loro Parque marine zoo.

The charity The Lucie Blackman Trust said it was "saddened to announce" DNA testing results had confirmed the body was Ms Gerard's.

Her sister Chloe, from Sheffield, had flown out to the island to help find her earlier this month.

Lincolnshire Police officers were called to the report of a gun in the Lincoln area.

Suffice to say they were pleased to discover it wasn't quite as it first seemed...

Managers who run Lincolnshire's hospitals have been told by trade unions they no longer have the confidence of their staff.

Officials from Unite say their members, and those of other unions, have passed a vote of no confidence in United Lincolnshire Hospitals Trust, which runs Lincoln, Boston and Grantham hospitals.

Managers have been accused of putting minor issues, like the colour of socks staff wear, ahead of patient safety.

The union is calling on a second visit by the health watchdog the Care Quality Commission:

The trust has been approached for comment.

The A15 Folkingham Road is closed in both directions near the Haconby Crossroads due to an accident.

Amy Gerard was last seen outside an Irish bar in the resort town of Puerto de la Cruz in November.

Lincolnshire's Khadija Kalifa has described her experience on TV's The Apprentice as "amazing".

The Stamford businesswoman was kicked off the show by Lord Sugar on Wednesday night, just missing out on the final.

The eco-friendly cleaning business owner said: "It's so nice now that everyone knows everything now and I don't have to keep anything as a secret."

She said the biggest thing she learned was to look at her business with fresh eyes and not to miss errors because she's too wrapped up in her firm's day-to-day running.

When asked about criticism that she was too aggressive, she said: "I hate the word aggressive. I think it needs to be removed from the dictionary...I shared a meme the other day which said: 'I want all little girls who were were bossy to be told they have strong leadership skills!'"

Presenter and motorbike racer Guy Martin is due to stand trial at crown court in July.

It will be a dry and bright afternoon, although any sunshine could be rather hazy.

It will become increasingly breezy, though, especially later on:

Two of the gang members are yet to be sentenced after they absconded from court.
