That’s it, all done and dusted. After 30 years of highs, lows and everything in-between, I’m no longer a police officer. Retirement already feels strange but so exciting🥳 Tomorrow I start the next chapter…eek, that sounds scary!😂

A beautiful start to the day in Dalby Forest. Much fresher with temperatures in the mid to high teens after yesterdays brief hot weather. @Dalby_Forest @TinaandM Nicky Wearmouth DalbyForest B&B

Dalby by bus is back!

The frost hollows doing their thing this morning. Decent nights sleep for those lucky enough to live in any of these locations.

Bit different to last week!

It’s a decent day out there but there was an autumnal chill at dawn. The frost hollows across the #YorkshireDales & #NorthYorkMoors getting down to low single figures.

Now this would have been something to experience! 😊

Dalby looking quite eerie at the moment! Rain just starting. Thunder rolling around. @Dalby_Forest NorthYorksWeather

Ended up in the garden at 3.45am (poorly dog 🙈) and the stars were amazing. It was so beautifully clear and twinkly, I didn't notice the cold but I'm not surprised we're top of the chilly leaderboard! 😊🥶 NorthYorksWeather @Dalby_Forest

Had the moth light out last night in Low Dalby. No wonder we didn't get much 🙄 ...a red green carpet and a spruce carpet were the only visitors. Obviously made of hardy stuff! 😁 #mothsmatter Butterfly Conservation 🦋

Quite a few frost hollows below freezing this morning but it’s a 3 way tie for coldest at -0.4°C. DalbyForest B&B Rich Smith FangdaleAlpacas Deborah Sporton sonia leeming Graze on The Green @JonathanMPomroy Graham Featherstone UK Weather Updates

Eastern areas seeing the most rain since midnight especially #NorthYorkMoors & #YorkshireWolds. Persistent rain will continue for much of the day here. Craig 🍃 DalbyForest B&B Graham Featherstone Ken Monkman Crossbill Cottage

Eeek, we've made the joint top of the 'coldest temperature' leader board. The ground is crunchy, the air is foggy and it's oh so cold! 🥶
