A mysterious, guerilla group of knitters have struck again with their latest offering of warm and fuzzy things directed at Epsom Downs Post Office.
The clandestine group known as 'Random Acts of Crochet Kindness' have operated in the region for months, with knitted post-box toppers and accompanying friends appearing at least as far back as March 2020 and the first wave of the Covid-19 pandemic in the UK.
Their latest target to receive a joyful package was revealed to be Epsom Down's Post Office on Fir Tree Road.
Soon after a mysterious package was sent to the post office, its contents were adorning the red pillar post box outside to the delight of passers-by.
Epsom Downs Post Office Owner Pallavi Pandya described the joy of staff and visitors after the package arrived and was placed on the post box.
"It is wonderful the number of people who have stopped to come into the shop and post office here to comment on it," she said.
"I have no idea who sent it to us, but we are very grateful for the boost this gives our customers.
"I hope they may see this article and accept our heartfelt thanks and appreciation," Pallavi added.
The group, who have been compared to world-famous underground street artist Banksy, seemingly derived their name from the Anne Herbet book Practice Random Acts of Kindness and Senseless Acts of Beauty.
Their direct actions have also been recorded in Surbiton, southern Surrey and as far afield as Oxford.
