FAMILIES across Romsey and Test Valley are gearing up for school to reopen on Monday as part of Boris Johnson's roadmap out of lockdown.

The Prime Minister revealed all pupils in England’s schools are expected to return to class from March 8 in the first step of the plan.

Socialising in parks and public spaces with one other person will also be permitted from that date.

The photos, sent in by our readers, show many of you are keeping your chins up in shutdown by exploring nature, celebrating World Book Day and even camping in your garden.

Hopefully, life will slowly return to normal and we can reunite with our family and friends in time for Easter in April.
