A Santa Tractor Parade and the SYWO in Ipswich - 23rd December 2024

Fred's got three days of rehearsals with the Suffolk Youth Wind Band/Orchestra in Ipswich, which clearly necessitates several visits. In between a couple of those is an extensive Santa-based procession of tractors done up in fairy lights which makes its way right past the bottom of the drive.
