The farmer was on the roof of his house pressure-washing some moss that had got out of hand on his roof tiles.

He went to move to another area, but stepped on fresh moss and slipped.

Through some miracle, he slid into the chimney stack and managed to stay on the roof instead of plummeting to the ground below.

It turns out Santa isn’t the only one who finds chimneys handy.

The man’s wife has since banned him from going onto the roof by himself.
