My brother and his wife are here for the Easter weekend. Last night, when we drove through the village, we spotted a new Post-Box Topper. What a beauty! So, this morning, this was our first task ... a photo op not to be missed!
That's something to see... a post-box topper! It's the first time I've come across this. The topper is beautifully and lovingly knitted. I think it's a wonderful custom - do many post-boxes have toppers?
@cocokinetic There are quite a lot in the villages around us. They change them out every now and then, and you're right they are lovingly and beautifully knitted, with great skill. Our most recent one, before this, was of elephants, then previously it was one of a soldier's head for Remembrance Day, and prior to that it was in honour of the Queen after her death, and previously for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee. The themes are endless!

Thank you for your in-depth reply, Issi. I'm going to get googling to see what other postbox toppers I can find. Can you imagine the work that goes into knitting or crocheting the shape and details of a soldier’s head! I'm utterly charmed by this practice of postbox toppers.
Happy Easter to you, to your brother and wife, and to your family. I hope you all have a fabulous weekend together.
That’s a work of art! Beautiful & so topical! I think you will have a special personal link up in your part if the world on Coronation Day. Nice photo of your brother & his wife too! I saw a post box topper too the other day but I can’t remember where!
