There’s no shortage of evidence that parks have been a lifeline for people through Covid-19, offering space for daily exercise when we were allowed out just once a day (remember those bleak days, when the sun shone and spring dazzled?), and then as a great place for socially distanced meet ups when we were freed to do so.

Anyone noticed an increase in Fairy Houses popping up at the base of trees during lockdown? Unless you’ve got small kids, they might have passed you by, but I think they’re an interesting example of people making change to their parks and growing something, which becomes a magnet and destination for others.

Most Britons live within 20 miles of where they are born and are incredibly invested in the places they live. During Covid they have explored those places, played in the woods rode their bikes on empty roads, nodded to their neighbours.
