# 90-year-old Granny H revealed after two years of secret gifts 2026-08-06T14:30:43+00:00 | World & Diplomacy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet June Rose Hood, a 90-year-old woman from Harford, Cheshire, has been identified as the mystery knitter leaving toys for village children. For two years, children found bears, lambs and dogs in zip-lock bags, each carrying a tag signed “Granny H”. Hood’s grandson, Matt Tarry, helped hide the gifts around gardens, doorsteps and hedgerows. Hood told the BBC that knitting helps with her anxiety and gives her a rewarding routine. Her family organised a birthday gathering where children and adults thanked her. Her daughter, Paula Tarry, said knitting had helped Hood through loneliness and a difficult period last year. Hood called the celebration the best thing to happen to her in 90 years. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com Tags: children, community, human interest, knitting, United Kingdom Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/90-year-old-granny-h-revealed-after-two-years-of-secret-gifts/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
