Lizards, vines, papayas: working solo in the Eden Project during lockdown

Lucie Oldale has been keeping the world's largest indoor rainforest in check for when visitors return

Her only companions are darting lizards and the crested partridges that scrabble around her feet as she does the watering or tries to keep on top of the weeding. Background noise is the burble of a waterfall and birdsong.

The lockdown has forced many people to work alone, but few can be operating in such splendid, spectacular isolation as Lucie Oldale at the Eden Project in Cornwall.
