When Wigginton residents Dale and Jo dropped their son Ralph off for school earlier in the year, the last thing they would’ve expected was to be called back by the school a few hours later — to be told an ambulance had been called for Ralph. Especially considering how their son had left the house that morning as happy and healthy as any other day.

TIME TRAVEL: Goddards House — York's Chocolate Hidden Gem | Your Local Link Magazine

It was the kind of morning that made you ready to hope again. As an early spring sun pierced through the frost to reveal a carpet of crocuses, snowbells and daffodils, we quickly forgot the dreariness of the last few months and realised we were standing at the centre of something really special.

Like most people who grow up in and around York, I went there on a school trip with my primary school and perhaps less like all people — I found it terrifying! Aged six or seven, I probably wasn’t able to tell the difference between a moving figure and a real Nazi soldier.
