Trust in Nature

Came across this quotation on location in Morden Hall, South London this sunny afternoon. Olivia Hill was the Victorian social reformer who co-founded the National Trust (whose first building was  acquired in 1896 in Alfriston, Sussex). It acquired Morden Hall (built in 1765) in 1941. Hill was a friend of Henrietta Barnett, the fellow social reformer behind Hampstead Garden Suburb, the model for planned green suburban developments. 

Tranquility, fresh air, accessible and unhindered views of Nature remain key to mental health and contentment. In these screen-based, digital  times immersing yourself in 3Dness and natural variation with living complexity is more vital than ever.
