  I took a visit to Norton Juxta Blooms directly opposite @TwycrossZoo in Leicestershire to see their spectacular Sunflower field, we made the visit at Sunset so as the sun slid below the horizon the field started to glow deep yellow and oranges. We also had an unexpected flypast by some Para motors which took off from an adjacent field flying low over the Sunflowers adding to the special atmosphere. In this film i explore the field finding a bright blue tractor contrasting against the Yellow flowers and exploring the maze of paths throughout, as the sun sinks lower the Sunflowers seem to be soaking up the last few rays and bow their heads till sunrise tomorrow. please see the Norton Juxta Blooms website for opening times and a special thanks to the team there for allowing us to film after hours.  

   The Annual Charity festive Tractor Run by the  @ArchersView  made its way around South Leicester on Sunday 21st December 2015 . The weather outside was spiteful but the tractors looked delightful with lights aglow, with horns sounding loudly we could hear them approaching from a long way outside the village of Countesthorpe in Leicestershire . As the parade begins we see the first tractors approach the roundabout and hear exited cheers from the considerable crowd who have braved the wet weather and cold temperatures. As various styles and sizes of farm vehicle pass we also see The Grinch riding a motorbike and holding a Christmas tree !. Switching to a lower vantage point further along Main Street we hear renditions if popular music from Barbie Girl to Baby Shark !. Among the tractors we see other vehicles taking part such as a bright orange Crouch Recovery truck and waste collection trucks or " bin lorries ". A vintage vehicle follows with antlers and S...

Join the bonkers crazy festive fundraising fun of the Archers Festive tractor run through South Leicestershire. The Annual Charity run sees hundreds of tractors, decorated with lights and decorations, lead a procession though the streets of South Leicestershire in a fundraiser for LOROS Hospice, The Leicestershire MS Therapy Centre, RABI and the Farm Safety Foundation. We join the tractors first as they enter, horns blaring and lights shining, into Cosby village passing the Yarnbomb as seen in my previous film, before then catching them further along the route in Countesthorpe, both villages with a great turn out of people to cheer them along and join in the festive fun. As the sounds of the horns fade we see the crowds disperse till next year when the festive spectacle will roll again though the villages of Leicestershire.

On Friday 17th December a jolly fellow full of festive cheer enlisted the help of his friends at Rotary Club of Market Bosworth and visited the Leicestershire village of Newbold Verdon, The jolly fellow on his sleigh was none other than Father christmas or "Santa Claus". The magical man in the bright red suit was carried along in his snow white sleigh by a vintage tractor and two of his long serving reindeer, waving to village residents young and old with beaming smiles as bright as a thousand twinkling christmas lights. In this short film we see santa arrive in the village before following a route through the streets and on to main street before he sets off into the night to prepare for the big day.
