Easter-themed post box topper spotted in Bristol

A group of knitters in south Bristol have created a new Easter scene on top of a post box. 

The post box topper, which features eggs, bunnies and mice, has been made by members of the Knit and Natter group in Whitchurch.     

The colourful creation, called ‘In a Bunny’s Dreams’, is above the post box outside MG Estate Agents on Bristol Road.    

Caroline Luckhurst, who coordinates Whitchurch Knit and Natter, said the group of up to 14 members who meet twice monthly at the local United Reformed Church have been working on the creation since after Christmas.

“I’m very proud of it,” Caroline told BristolWorld. “The most important thing is it’s a group effort.”   

“It’s getting people out of their households and tackling isolation,” she added. “The rationale of the group is to knit for charity.”     

The group, which has been running since 2016, has created Easter post box toppers in previous years and also one for the Coronation last year.
