I didn't even know what the RNLI was. "The Royal National Lifeboat Institution is the lifeboat service operating around the coasts of the U.K, Republic of Ireland, Channel Islands and Isle of Man, plus some inland waterways". A really important function they fulfil, well worth celebrating.
I have only heard of post box toppers. We don't have this tradition here. It's a very nice thing. Post boxes have in fact now vanished. Here, we find them only in post offices. Are they still there in the UK?
Cute mice :)
ReplyDeleteNeat, aren't they?
DeleteOh wow.. this is so cute!
ReplyDeleteThere's such a lot of work in it, too.
DeleteI love these post box toppers, they're so intricately done. Someone is very clever.
ReplyDeleteI just wonder if it's one person's work or several - such a lot of work in them.

Yes, we have post boxes all over the place. The collections aren't quite as frequent as they were, though.
DeleteI love it!
ReplyDeleteIt's fun, isn't it?
DeleteI have seen quite a few last year in Eastbourne, they looked so funny ! Some were really artwork !
ReplyDeleteSome are really elaborate.
DeleteI like this topper very much.
ReplyDeleteIt makes me smile.
DeleteWhat fun! I love things like that! It adds character!
ReplyDeleteIt brightens our lives.
DeleteHow incredible. I crochet, but I do not think I would ever have done such a lovely and big project!
ReplyDeleteI am more and more inclined to think these toppers are a group effort. Such lovely work!
DeleteThis is a prize! So much skill, effort and imagination go into these toppers.
ReplyDeleteThey are wonderful, I think :-)
DeleteThat must be one of the best postbox toppers I've ever seen! I wonder if I'll get to see any real life ones on my UK travels next month! xxx
ReplyDeleteI hope you do see some. They pop up all over the place.
DeleteThose are really unique! Love them.
ReplyDeleteThey are clever, I think.
DeleteThat's a really good one. They seem to be popping up all over the place.
ReplyDeleteI'm just pleased we have someone or a group of someones who enjoy creating these locally.
DeleteI do like seeing these post-box toppers, there are a few around locally.
ReplyDeleteLove the one you've shown for the RNLI
One of our sons and Grandson are doing the RNLI Mayday Mile this month.

Well done to your young menfolk. What a very good cause.
DeleteWow that's beautiful. There are some really talented people around!
ReplyDeleteI think they're wonderful - very talented.
DeleteA fabulous post box topper and a wonderful tribute to the brave men and women of the RNIB.
ReplyDeleteThese post box toppers bring a smile to everyone's faces.
