The summary says your minimum temperature was 0.3 on the 10th, so according to that you haven't had any air frosts. What is it that makes you think that is wrong?

Edit: A thought occurs to me: Are you confusing air frosts and ground frosts? This might help - http://weatherfaqs.org.uk/node/26

To measure ground frosts you would need a grass thermometer.
