Villagers may have spotted a new festive trend emerge in Barley while posting their Christmas cards. The people behind the yarnbombing movement are Knit Barley, the village's knitting group, decorating numerous postboxes with their own unique seasonal design.

It's all part of their attempt to raise money for Helping Herts Homeless, who support the provision of emergency accommodation and other support services to the county's homeless. They say they hope it makes villagers smile and inspires them to help someone else this Christmas.
