To visit my Dad in his garden?

Key info: my dad has had Covid and made a full recovery. He isn’t especially vulnerable. He has now injured his ankle and so can’t drive or meet in the park. I’ve not seen him since Mid Feb when he came home from Italy with Covid. He lives on his own, less than an hour from home. I would be able to hold my bladder for a 3 hour in total trip and wouldn’t go in his home or have a drink.
I haven’t broken any lockdown rules or even met anyone for a walk, so I am feeling anxious about this but he is becoming increasingly isolated and lonely. He suggested I could pop over this weekend and sit at opposite ends of his garden? I think it seems low risk all round tbh but I am worried I am losing all perspective at the min!

It's not strictly within the rules. But everyone is now doing this. Can't see any risk whatsoever.

Yeah it’s fine. It’s outside so really no different to meeting in a park.

Just go for it!

FGS please go and see him, how could you think of not doing so.

You can't even infect one another. It's a non-issue. Just go (And have a cup of tea/use the loo if you want to.)

Complete non issue. Just go. And have a cuppa with him and use the loo if necessary.
