Bored Britons are doing just about anything to keep themselves occupied during the coronavirus lockdown.
But one person has really branched out - literally.
A couple were left shocked when their neighbour came up with an ingenious method to break-away from quarantine, by dressing up as a bush.
Nicholas Murray and Madeline Mai-Davies, from Stevenage, Hertfordshire, watched on in amazement and disbelief as their neighbour scuttled down the driveway, dressed from head-to-toe in the leaf-laden disguise.

The video shows the disguised neighbour making a break for it as he attempts to get across the road, only to be caught out by the change of background
So as to not draw attention, the neighbour crouches, scurries and even stops, drops and rolls in order to pull off their cunning disguise.
The pair filmed the incident, which shows their neighbour's ingenious plan working while they stand against a backdrop of bushes.
But as the neighbour makes a break for it across the grey road, the bright green disguise quickly unravels.
Though the neighbour tries desperately to blend into the grass on the other side of the road, it is too late - they've already been 'bush-ted'.
The video, posted on social media site TikTok, has since gone viral and has been viewed more than 16.5million times

Maddie said: “I was overwhelmed with the support and following that came from it.”
