Postbox cover, Perton, Year of the Rabbit

Someone at Perton seems to be a member of the “crotchet covers for pillarboxes” movement, and their speciality seems to be seasonal festivals with the inclusion of 3-D animals.

Last year (I noticed it in December 2021 to be precise) a crotchet with a Christmas-card feel which included robins and a penguin. On a visit to the estate a few days ago, I pictured the latest offer. The recent Chinese new Year saw the start of the Year of the Rabbit. The centrepiece of the crotchet was indeed a rabbit, standing alongside one of the dragons which feature in Chinese New Year parades.
