Now that the fuss had died down, some pictures from the great day:
And finally, thanks to all those many who put up bunting, designed wonderful artifacts to decorate the approaches to and the village itself and generally helped make 1 May a special day for all in the dale.
Sometime later this year in the summer, Sir Terry Wogan and his London cabbie mate, Mason McQueen will be hosting a programme on BBC 2 called ‘Terry and Mason’s Food Programme’.
Maggie Barraclough was asked to appear along with other North Yorkshire bakers and their efforts were sampled by Terry and Mason recently in Scarborough.
More information when the transmission dates are known.
Well, it’s up! The message is revealed as ‘North York Moors’ and can be seen on the hillside at Greenbank off the Knott Road, although a better view can seen from Daleside Road (on the way to School Row and Hill Cottages). Or better still with a private helicopter!
Brook lamprey are some of the most primitive vertebrates alive today and they are spawning in our river here in Rosedale right now. They are jawless, having a round sucker-like mouth and small round gill openings on the sides of the head. They have two dorsal fins and are about 15cm long. They spawn in clean gravel beds. Wonder if they know how excited Rosedale folk are about the TDY! Updale Natural History Recorder

Hurrah for Butcher’s Row for their great display of bunting ahead of the festivities on 1 May! Now for the rest of the village?
Cuppa anyone? Officially weatherproof at Dale Head Farm Tea Garden – warm & toasty whatever the weather! Home made cakes and good coffee available, a perfect pit stop for Coast to Coasters
There they go over to the moors riding the first stage of the Tour de Yorkshire photo by Ena Dent of Craven Farm. Gary Verity and a team of top cycling journos passed though the village today, testing the route and enjoying the new road surfaces.
Keep It Clean – just what Les Barker has been doing for us here in Rosedale for years and today, Friday 6 February, was his last day on duty before retirement.
We wish Les all the very best for his retirement and send him our grateful thanks.
He says he will be back for the show this year so there will be a chance to buy him a pint or two then!
