A YOUNG boy from Old Basing is using his creativity to put smiles on residents’ faces during lockdown.
Six-year-old Archie Haddock recently started painting stones, and has decided to use his creative side to start a community project.
On their regular walks at the Crabtree Plantation, Archie and his mum, Sophie, laid the stones down to start the ‘Crabtree Covid snake’ for people to add to and lay down their own painted stones during lockdown.
“He had seen one similar to it in Yateley,” Sophie explained.
“He has been painting stones and hiding them around Basingstoke for a while so when he said about doing it I thought it was quite sweet.”
