Dear Readers, I might have mentioned Postbox Toppers before – they are happening all over the country, wherever knitters and crocheters decide to adorn their local postbox with something commemorative, either of an event, or a season, or a person. You might have noticed that David Attenborough (the closest the UK has to a living secular saint in my opinion) was 100 years old recently, and so this topper, from Walthamstow in East London, features the man himself plus 26 animals, the name of each one beginning with a different letter of the alphabet. What a treat!
There are lots of other postbox toppers commemorating Sir David all over the UK, but this one will take some beating, I think. The makers are collecting donation on behalf of Walthamstow Toy Library, so if you have any lose change jangling, you know what to do….
