On her toppers, she said: “When I was diagnosed with breast cancer it was an awful time for me and my family because the restrictions meant I had to go to all my appointments and treatments alone.
“I had to shield, so as soon as I felt able to I started knitting and crocheting to keep busy.
"It gave me something else to focus on and the villagers love them. They even call me the Banksy of Walton.
"I change the topper approximately every three weeks, keeping the villagers in suspense about what the next one is going to be.”
