Are you planning on meeting someone

It's so much easier to avoid all contact

I suppose it is but why should we? Even allowing for the current debacle with DC and his interpretation of "the rules", we have been given confirmation that it is perfectly acceptable to meet up with another person, in an open space, provided that you keep the mandatory 2 metre distance. So what's the problem with people meeting up, in a park or going for a walk whilst adhering to the advice above?

Personally, and I'm fairly sure I'm not alone here, as a cogniscent adult I can express my pleasure at seeing my friends without having to throw my arms around them or kiss them. If you can't, then yes, you're best sticking to Skype or the phone.

All my family are a good 2.5 hours drive away, so sadly not doing that yet. I'm in a rural area so we don't see many people.

I did meet a friend last week at our local beach, we sat at a distance and each brought our flask of coffee. It was so lovely to see someone I know, in the flesh. It is so good for my mental health, and I don't feel we were taking much risk.

I want a friend to come here for chat and coffee (very large garden) but OH is against it.

We are a bit ahead of you here in France so we are opening our small library in June.
Two mornings per week with usual hygiene rules. Looking forward to having a project again as I am sorting out staffing and all details.

It's so much easier to avoid all contact, Skype or phone instead, then there's no temptation to get a little closer or hug. I'm thinking that a second wave is inevitable - and people will be sorry that they took risks. The death toll is horrific already:

I played golf with a friend last week. We kept far apart at all times but had to keep shouting at each other because we could hear what we were saying and we had a lot of catching up to do.

Yes, meeting up for a walk with my elder grandson. He’s just had official confirmation of his autism and this lockdown has been so hard on him. We will just meander through our little town keeping well apart.

Several meet ups with friends and family planned, all very local, no driving any distance to do so. But in light of the current revelations, a friend and I are driving to a half way point to meet up, have a walk and natter. We'll maintain the regulatory 2 metre distance whilst doing so but this will be my first trip out that isn't for "essential travel" since lockdown.

Oh Elizabeth how lovely, is she going to plant up your tubs and pots?
?

I’m about to head out the door to meet up with daughter for a walk and natter in the park.

My DH is getting the Bbq up and running for tomorrow my sister is coming for a meal from the bbq. We’re social distancing and she’s bringing a shovel guess what for

We met dd and baby Gdc3 last week, at a country park more or less halfway between our homes.

I was very reluctant to agree at first, since I thought it’d be torture to see the baby in particular, last seen on 4th March, and not be able to give her a cuddle.

But in fact it was fine, even with social distancing - we had a lovely amble together in a pretty area - baby smiled at us a lot! - and I was really glad we’d agreed to go.
I do hope you will find the same.
