Yes, they are

In town today taking Luke to rowing and doing a couple of tasks when I met a friend and his wife on the High Street (you know who you are!). We went for a coffee and we're joined by another mutual friend who came in, and then I met Hazel from drumming and on my way home I met another friend in front of this very sign. So I've had a lovely morning in good company. And I did get all my jobs done as well.
