Puddletown Post Box Topper

Puddletown Post Box Topper
Stopping off to buy an ice-cream at the village shop in Puddletown, we noticed this post box topper depicting "Humpty Dumpty" from the popular nursery rhyme. They seem to be popping up everywhere! One PiP.

Frans Schols, buonacoppi, Gillian Everett, Ulrich John and 33 other people have particularly liked this photo

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Günter Klaus club
Thank you very much for your lovely comment dear Günter. There are a lot of them around, but people rarely know who knits and crochet them! They are very clever and it must be quite time consuming.

Wishing you a good weekend, Rosa.

What a great find Rosa...........and some brilliant knitting/crochet work there and it looks fantastic. Such a cheery sight, and beautifully captured in lovely detail..!!

I like the close up in the PiP as well.

I must have driven past the signs for Puddletown hundred of times over the years and I have yet to go there! However, my list of places to visit seems to be getting longer as I get older :-)))

Maybe one day!
11 months ago.
Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Keith Burton club
Thank you very much Keith. Yes cheery describes them perfectly.

We had actually just come from Athelhampton Hall, on the 2 for 1 offer given by Gardener's World magazine, that you mentioned earlier in the year. I will be showing a selection of photos from there throughout next week. I haven't been through them yet, but what a fabulous place.

Your list is probably as long as mine Keith :-)) I love Puddletown, but I wish it was still called Piddletown!

Hi Rosa
A wonderful and interesting picture, which I like very much!
Very nice sculpture. I can't say that I have noticed many of these.. The popular idea round our way is a 'village scarecrow' competition...
Best Wishes, Happy Monday, a nice week ahead, and stay safe!!
