This weekend there were problems with the Vale's satellite,
but engineers have been working on it so now it seems alright.

And on Sunday in Cheddar village there was no electrical power,
resulting in lots and lots of Cheese People unable to bath or shower.

And with no electricity there was no light to read a book,
and for people with electric ovens it was impossible to cook.

People were walking around in pyjamas, bare feet, slippers and sandles,
searching every place they could for a match, a torch or candles.

Now power is working perfectly in the Vale, so everything is fine,
and if you have to go to work today there's no excuse not to be on time.

Today there’s rally driving, through the forest trails,
it’s a very tough race, a very quick pace,
it’s even tougher than the course in North Wales.

There are long sharp bends, at over 180 degrees,
there are muddy bogs and very big logs
oh, and watch out for the mysterious trees!

It's tough, it's rough and it's very dangerous driving event,
bumbs, big humps, you'll get more than a scratch or a dent.

You need solid brakes, can make no mistakes,
and need nerves that are made of steel.

There's no room for error, no place for terror,
and both hand should grip the steering wheel.

In the rally driving event, there's only been one accident and luckily nobody was hurt,
the car that was last, started driving very fast and then suddenly skidded off the dirt.

The driver lost control, the car started to roll and ended up in a ditch, upside down,
they started to worry and so got out in a hurry, afraid that maybe they'd drown.

But they'll live another day, both are ok, there's just damage to the car and their pride,
They're both slightly bruised and a little confused but grateful that neither of them died.

The local border patrol, are there to control, suspicious people trying to get into the Vale,
and last night they discovered and think they've uncovered, a plan to smuggle people in by rail.

They're interviewing two, who were trying to get through, a fence in the West of the Vale.
They're trying to understand exactly what was planned and why they had maps in such detail.

They're nice chaps, ok they had detailed maps
but spotting trains is how they spend their time,
they were planning a weekend away, that's what they say,
and everything checks out and is fine.

This weekend there's a karate competition at Gruyere Girls School.
An amazing skill, to watch is a thrill,
the speed of their moves is like lightening,
they chop, they kick, they're ever so quick,
and to fight them would be ever so frightening.
