“It was absolutely fantastic to work with Ayton Primary School this year for the Christmas Card competition.

“The entries this year were excellent, and I'm grateful to the children at Ayton for their effort. Choosing a winner is always a hard task, but Bertie won us all over with his festive sunset scene.”
