I think they’re fantastic but what happens when it rains?

So sad when people can’t leave things alone tanith, especially when so much work goes into them. Ours is immediately adjacent to the post office so it’s very visible and the postmistress is taking it in at night, plus it’s in the sight line of PO’s CCTV. So far so good, but we shouldn’t have to do this.

I think one of those toppers would be lucky to last five minutes where I live ☠️

We have some in our town, think the WI have been keen knitters.

We have lots of local post box toppers mostly in Ruislip, sadly some have been damaged and stolen it’s very sad after all the work.

All the post boxes round here are set into stone walls!

Have any of you got a post box topper nearby? Seems to be a bit of a ‘thing’ in places. This is the one in our village made by local craft group - we live on the coast in case you haven’t guessed!
