Happy Days at Newton St Cyres

At the moment I am 66 years old. I lived at Newton St Cyres from 1950 to 1952.
My father worked at J. G. Quicke's farm where in 1952 he was unfortunately killed and my mother and I returned to Cornwall. I can still remember going to the school at the top of the hill. Ahh! those were the days.
For anyone reading this who may have lived there at the same time my nickname was Trip. I seem to remember back in those days we used to have scorching hot summers for our summer holidays from school.
A few of the surnames I can remember are Hookway, Manley, Chamberlain, Vickary and possibly Redaway.
I must admit I have many happy memories until my fathers untimely death.
