It's the start of May - which means there are two Bank Holiday Mondays which give workers and school children an extra two days off and extends the weekends from two to three days.
And people have been allowed to meet in gardens and in pub beer gardens across the country this weekend, although Monday's weather is set to be cool and punctuated by rain showers across the country.
The first Bank Holiday Monday is today, Monday May 3. There's another one at the end of May - on Monday May 31.
