Festive fun with a hint of mischief has come to Minster with fabulous postbox toppers and a host of naughty elves.
Fantastic residents Barbara Quittenden, Carol McCarthy and a group of knit bombing friends have decorated the village with the annual Christmas creations.
Nifty knitter Barbara has been creating festive toppers for around seven years after spotting similar ones in Herne Bay.
Also responsible for Easter decorations and knitted poppy displays, Barbara says she makes them while watching TV and because: “It’s fun to do.” This year she took charge of the elves and Carol made the lovely postbox toppers.
Last year the knitting crew also made an alternative Christmas tree and this year villagers can have some fun spotting those naughty elves while they are up to their antics!
What fun. Let’s hope they stay there for everyone to enjoy and are not stolen.
It’s just another form of graffiti. What right have these nutty knitters to litter public realm with their whimsies?
Get a life Andrew,surely this can only add some festive joy for some.
I think “nutty” is a bit strong, and so is “joy”.
Merry Christmas Marva, what a joy it must be to have you over for the festive season.
Well said, Jane.
I can’t think of any reason why anyone would want to steal these things.
Unless they had artistic sensibilities.
I don’t visit people at Christmas as there is no public transport. So, no problem for them.
Result.
What does “result” mean in this context?
Not having you visit marva
Thanks for the clarification.
