My friend Willi, in Basel, who is a very good amateur photographer, started to snap the things around him while he is in lockdown. Very creative ‘My Lockdown Diary’ zoominon.ch

This is one of the best things I’ve found in lockdown. Every tree (almost) in London has been mapped. Put in your address and it gives you a personalised tree walk so you can learn as you go treetalk.co.uk
