MY family badgered me into going to see Santa Claus this year at the Yorkshire Museum of Farming, Murton, near York.

What a joyous few hours I spent visiting Santa's elves, Santa's house and having a ride on the Santa Special.

Never was time and money better spent, and I can only thank everyone involved for a really wonderful experience.

All credit to everyone involved in this project.
