Farmer Christmas has once again fired up his tractor to meet children from around the area.

Farmer Christmas from Suffolk Rural has not been able to visit for the past two years due to Covid, but he was able to get back on his tractor to see everyone in person.

Agricultural lecturer, John Attridge, also known as Farmer Christmas, and his elf helper, Penny Rudland, visited children from Otley and Witnesham primary schools.

Mr Attridge said: "We always look forward to visiting the schools so it was great to finally say hello to everyone.

"We arrived on a tractor, said hello to the children and handed out small gifts.

"Working with the community like this is a massive part of what we do at Suffolk Rural and it's always a pleasure to be involved in this event."
