A 'marvellous creation' has brought a community together during the coronavirus lockdown.

The Leader previously reported that six-year-old Jacob Smith and his sister Evelyn made a rock snake by painting pebbles, starting with the face painted on one stone.

A few more were added for its body and a sign was put up asking people to add to it to see how long it could grow.

The rocky reptile soon captured the hearts of residents in Connah's Quay as dozens of people jumped on board to watch the snake grow.

Over 600 rocks later, the snake has been named.

After a poll between Rhona, Rockie, Covid, Enfys and Hope, the people of Connah's Quay voted for the snake to be called Enfys, after the rainbow which has become the symbol of hope during these uncertain times.

Mum Janine Smith said: "I can’t believe it. It has been wonderful feature to watch grow and develop and a very very welcome distraction from all that’s been going on.

"We love that other rock snakes where born following the start of this one too.

"It really has been a marvellous creations by all.

"Enfys attracted the most votes so on Wednesday with a video of our very long snake, Enfys was introduced to the community. A fitting name given the origins of our rock snake.

"It’s getting harder to count the rocks as the grass over grows some and we do seem to have rock fairies who like to play move the rocks, but there are approximately 663."

The snake is placed at the alleyway on Coppack Close and dozens of rocks have already been added to it.
