Katy and Tom Pottage are the twin children of Henry and Julia Pottage, the farmers who run Greendale Farm.
Biography
The twins often played together and liked to help around their parents farm as much as they could.
Personality
Just like their mother, they dressed quite expensively in good quality denims, T-shirts and brightly coloured wellies. Katy is bright, quick, inquiring, humorous, and full of inquisitive activity. Tom however, is inwardly quiet, inward, thumb-sucking, thoughtful, and follows unquestionably where Katy leads. They are always excited to see Postman Pat, especially on their birthdays. Due to them being playful, they loved to play games and got along well with the other children in Greendale.
Sometimes, they could get into arguments but they later redeemed themselves after that.

Trivia
- Katy's model made a cameo in two "Gran" episodes, "Gran's Old Bones" and "Snow Gran".
- Katy and Tom were most likely adapted into Sarah and James from Fireman Sam, this would make sense, as Rob Lee took some inspiration from Postman Pat when creating Fireman Sam.
