Going Outside

With the likely closures of pubs, cinemas and gyms in London, going outside to 'commune with nature', whilst maintaining a 'safe' social distance (especially as limiting closer contact might have to be in place for up to 12 months), might be one of the few healthy options that remain for many folk in these days of Covid-19  (https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/mar/20/coronavirus-anxiety-nature). Although the power of nature to help mental health can be overstated, there is no doubt spending some time in parks is helpful to a wide range of people. It is consequently good news that many bodies (like the National Trust) are keeping their gardens and parks open for the general public to walk in freely at this time.
