Yesterday afternoon was the loveliest afternoon since last summer so I decided to run a few errands. Including going to Brigg. What a lovely surprise!

| Royal Mail has taken on a Dalek to collect the post. |

| The pub is offering woolly hospitality. (Non Brits: "Walkers" is a leading brand of crisps/chips.) |
 |
| The snake seems to be thirsty too. |
All season hanging baskets. |
| The last one is my favourite. It might not look much to you but four elderly gentlemen sit on this bench each morning, sipping coffee and watching the world go by. They are a bit of a local landmark. Somebody has captured them perfectly in crochet. |
Our village yarn bombers regularly change their designs, it's so much fun.
ReplyDeleteIt made an already lovely day even lovelier.
ReplyDeleteWow-those are the best yarn bombs I have seen! Such patience by the people who made them knowing that the weather will take its toll. Thanks for sharing these lovely makes. Catriona
ReplyDeleteIt makes for even more pleasure when visiting Brigg.
Deletethat made me chuckle, particularly the blokes bench - how lovely for them to be 'recognised' and then in woolly form be immortalised :)
ReplyDeleteBrilliant, isn't it. They are always there first thing.
DeleteI think the yard bombing is fun but I find the ones on seats very annoying. Both my husband and I often we need to use the seat but if its been raining the yarn holds the moisture making the benches unusable .please don’t do this.
ReplyDeleteBrigg is generously provided with seats.
DeleteThat's hilarious! I love the four men.
ReplyDeleteEveryone I spoke to loved that - they are such a regular part of the local scene.
DeleteLove the yarn bombing. The bench is my absolute favourite.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Isn't it great!
DeleteThat is so fun! I haven't seen any yarn bombings here.
ReplyDeleteI've only seen them in Brigg but I see post box toppers in other places.
ReplyDeleteLast time I saw something like this was in Pittsburgh, PA when we visited my brother many years ago. I wonder what the three gentlemen thought of their portraits?
ReplyDeleteI'm told they were absolutely delighted!
DeleteYarn bombs look like much fun! Cheers, Ivy
ReplyDeleteI think so too!
