Tell us: how has it felt to re-emerge from England’s lockdown?

As pubs, restaurants, hairdressers, gyms, outdoor leisure venues and non-essential shops in England opened their doors again this week, we’d love to hear how people feel about resuming social activities after months of lockdown.

If you went out since restrictions were relaxed, you could tell us about the first time you were among lots of people again, used public transport, met others to socialise or treated yourself.

Perhaps you felt overjoyed to hit the shops with a friend again, or to finally get that haircut. Or perhaps you felt overwhelmed sitting on a loud pub terrace trying to make conversation?Whatever your experience of those first days since society began to open up again, we’d like to hear about it!
