An attractively painted stone has recently been left in the Sensory Garden. By whom it is clear as it is marked with the words ‘Doodles – Day Nursery’. That facility is located not far away on Southport Road and one suspects that the children are brought to the garden to enjoy the floral displays. It is positioned at the base of the ‘Astley Mole’ sculpture.
It is not the first time painted stones have been left in the Park. Below is a picture of a ‘Kindness Stone’ of about the same size. These are created typically by children and families using eyecatching designs for other people to find and keep as a way of spreading joy and encouragement.
