Based on my experience here in the UK, some people will take a while to get used to the lifting of restrictions. It does appear to vary with age, older people might be a bit more wary of mixing with others.

Of course you do have one major advantage, your climate. It does make meeting outdoors a lot easier. We had a cold, wet and windy spring this year. When we re-opened this year, pubs and restaurants could only serve customers outside. I did visit the pub a few times, sitting in the garden, well wrapped up, in the dark, chatting with a few other hardy souls. I was glad when they finally allowed customers back inside again.

Each of us has to make our own minds up. Stay safe and respect others. It is good to meet up with friends. Some people have found the isolation hard to deal with.
