Meltonby...

Read a story today, on the BBC website, about Essa Khan, a four-year-old lad who phoned the police on his mum’s phone, after she’d had a seizure and collapsed. He knew to phone 999, because the number was printed on the bonnet of his toy police car. Having traced the call, the police didn’t need to break the door down, because Essa passed them the keys through the letterbox (after checking it really was the police). Once treated by paramedics, Charlotte Khan was fine. “I am gobsmacked by what Essa did”, she said. “I just can't believe it”. The police will call again… to present the boy with an award.

Houses in Meltonby, this morning, before rain stopped play...
