69 Years of Being A Part of Rainton

69 years ago I remember my father going to war. Many tears. He was in the RAF and was sent to Topcliffe and Dalton. He was occasionally based at then Skelfield School. He made a lot of friends in Rainton. They we're willing to open their homes to my mom and I for holidays. 69 years on, my family and I are still coming up to Rainton, having a caravan at The Nursery Garden Holiday Park just a mile from Rainton. It is still a beautiful village, part of my life.

A memory of Rainton in North Yorkshire shared on Thursday, 16th September 2010.
