Old children's TV programmes - do you remember?

Can anyone help me with the name of a childrens tv programme that has been eluding me for years?

It was on in the 70's - on ITV (so may be not many of you watched it, all being Blue Peter devotees!!) and it was about a little girl who was housebound due to an illness and she drew pictures of these stones/rocks/boulder type things outside her house ..(as I write this i am becoming increasingly aware of how mad this sounds - but I DO remember it!!!). It gets better....the boulders appeared to move closer and closer to the house - it was totally freaky and obviously made an impression on me(but not enough so I could remember the name!)

Please someone say that they remember it too? I'm counting on you.
