Living in the UK: what are your plans on 17 May?

Hugging and mixing indoors with friends and family will be allowed in England from next week, and also in Scotland with the exception of Moray, which will “very likely” remain under level three restrictions after a surge in cases.

In Wales, up to six people from different households will be able to meet indoors at pubs, cafes and restaurants from Monday.

We’d like to know what your plans are for when indoor socialising and hugging will be possible again, and how you feel about the further easing of restrictions.

We’d like to hear about who you will meet first under the new rules, and what you will do. We are also interested in hearing how people feel about society reopening and being able to mix with people indoors.
