Going to the hairdresser and meeting friends in a garden are all set to become legal again in Wales.

Up to four adults from two households will also be allowed to meet up in a private garden in Wales from Saturday.
Non-essential shops remain closed until 12 April, although garden centres can reopen from 22 March.
Wales first minister also said self-contained accommodation would be allowed to reopen from 27 March, as long as cases remained low, but people can only go with their own household.

Piers Morgan first met Meghan Markle at a bar in Kensington in 2016.
At the time, the US actress was starring in legal drama Suits. She met Morgan while on a spring visit to the UK, as part of a trip that also included watching Wimbledon matches with her friend Serena Williams. We spent two hours in a pub, she had a couple of dirty martinis, I had a couple of pints, we got on brilliantly, Morgan told Ryan Tubridy on RTÉ s The Late Late Show. And then I put her in a cab, and it turned out to be a cab which took her to a party where she met Prince Harry. And the next night they had a solo dinner together, and that was the last I heard from Meghan Markle.
