This summer, the UK & especially my home town Crewe, has gone crazy for Rock Painting! All over the UK, towns have set up Facebook pages called ‘Love On The Rocks’.
You paint a rock, write 'Love On The Rocks’ on the back, along with the town you are from & hide it for someone to find.
When you find someone’s rock, you take a photo of it & post it on a 'Love On The Rocks’ Facebook page and then you can either keep it or rehide it for somebody else to find!
It’s lovely to see who finds your rock & amazing to see how far some of these rocks have travelled!
These are some of the rocks I have painted! They’ll be coming with me to Chester Zoo on Friday to be hidden. I can’t wait to see who finds them!
