CIVIC LANE If there is one thing that has changed since the pandemic, it’s the importance we give to taking care of our health and having access to nature and open spaces to preserve our emotional well-being. This is reinforced by the growing commitment to sustainability, which when coupled with the need for fresh air has stimulated the desire to live near green areas. Living within easy reach of the countryside or near parks or large gardens where we are able to connect with nature not only helps us feel younger but can even make us younger.
