Lorraine Bird had hoped for anonymity when she decorated a post box but was soon known - the power of Facebook, she says. 

The knitted and crocheted topical decorations (and there is a technical skill difference!) delight people in the town, especiaily children.

She knows the rules about displays and puts them up during daylight, unlike some of her Topper Peers.

She talks to Mike Waddington about it all and there has been occasional damage or features - like the Queen's corgis - taken; but she is unperturbed.

Despite being pressed she would not reveal the next one - already on the needles!
