A farmer in the south of the Island is keeping up his tradition of colouring his straw bales.

Eric Taggart of Ballasalla's been showing off this year's creations on Facebook - with an emoji theme.

The 'hay-mojis' are on display at Cross Four Ways in Ballasalla.

In previous years, Eric's raised thousands of pounds for charity by painting his bales as Minions from the Despicable Me movies.
