It was mentioned in a news broadcast this morning that the PM has said we can cautiously return to hugging when the last lot of national restrictions are removed in June. We are to 'use our common sense' is the advice on how to proceed.
I've tended to treat each and every safety edict with the greatest of respect throughout the pandemic, and been almost sceptical as they've been removed, (and at times replaced), and often thought that it was too much too soon.
But I'm going in for this one! Never mind pubs, restaurants, holidays in foreign places. Of all the things I've missed the hug is it! Of course I'll be as careful as I can, but frankly I can scarcely wait!

We have a family gathering (re-scheduled from before Christmas) soon after the lifting of restrictions. We will be coming from five different counties from most areas of the UK ( South-East, South West, Midlands, The North and Scotland) - but we have all had two vaccinations, so it should not be a "super spreader event".
That sounds wonderful S11m. It really is about just thinking things through sensibly. Wishing you a terrific and happy reunion!👍
