A charity which has been helping carers for more than 25 years may have to close because of funding issues, so we'll take a closer look at that.

I spotted a beautiful sunrise as I drove into work this morning - I just hope the old saying "red sky in the morning, shepherds' warning" doesn't bode badly for the day.

We shouldn't have too long to wait to find out, as Elizabeth Rizzini will be here next to tell us what we've got to look forward to, weather-wise.

Poor weather has put a hold on plans for two Norfolk adventurers to cross the English Channel on inflatable paddleboards in aid of the RNLI.

Charlie Graham-Wood (pictured left) and Lewis Gray, who live in north Norfolk, were due to make the crossing last week.

"It didn't happen because the weather was the worse it's been all year," said Mr Graham-Wood.

"There wasn't a single day where it was even close to being border line... they even cancelled ferries for the first time this year - we couldn't have picked a worse week if we'd have tried."

The duo have been training for the crossing for the last six months off the Norfolk coast at Sheringham and along The Broads.

"It's frustrating, but we're trying to make the best of it. The training has just got 10 times harder as we just don't know when we're going - my living room is like paddle HQ at the moment as if we get a window, we just need to go," he said.

"We're ready to go a drop of hat - but who knows when? If there's a week day between now and the end of October we'll go."

The cross-channel paddle season ends in October, but the friends are trying to stay upbeat about the challenge.

"It's hard," Mr Graham-Wood said, "but on the positive side it gives us more time to raise more cash for RNLI Sheringham, external."

A Diss pensioner's life has been saved - by his local bookie.

Michael Base, 72, has had a routine of putting two £1 bets on at the BetFred shop in the town every day.

Staff noticed he hadn't been in for four days and went looking for him.

They found out where he lived and when they didn't get an answer called the police who broke in to find him on the floor.

Mr Base, who's diabetic, spent a month in Intensive Care at the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital.

He's now staying at a nearby residential home.

The front window of a train on the Ipswich to Norwich line was cracked earlier - by a brick or a large stone being thrown at it.

It happened as the London service left Diss. It was able to get to Ipswich where passengers were put on an alternative service.

Greater Anglia says the driver has been left shaken.
