Someone I live with has driven 5 miles to meet someone, who has also driven 5 miles (ie they live 10 miles apart and met in the middle)
They left at 9am and are not yet home, she said they were going for a walk and to roller skate. I expect they will also get a takeaway coffee.

Is this allowed? It seems a long time to be away from home.
Maybe I'm being harsh, as a tired nurse working on a covid ward I think it's ridiculous but there's no time limit for exercise on government website?

Sorry drip feed was intentional.

They do this regularly and post on social media, I don't know they will get a coffee or takeaway lunch or where they will eat or drink it today. But previous occasions they've been cuddling for photos, sat in one car, just general closeness. For an extended period of time. Its irritated me every time and I wanted to raise it today but thought I'd check if I was being unreasonable.

Multiple Instagram stories and selfies together
Of them in one car together drinking coffee today? If you'd put that in your OP I'd have given you a completely different response, you made it sound as if you just thought they might get coffee, not that you knew they had. Sitting in a car together is not something I would do and I'd be annoyed if someone I lived with did it. I'd be ok with the walk as exercise and fresh air are important, as is having some sort of contact with a friend, if they live with you as an employee.

I dont have a choice about going to work, and whilst I'm there I wear level 3 PPE as well as changing and showering before coming home.
She has a choice about socialising.

I’m thinking she’s your nanny? So has the potential to pass on the virus to your family? It’s not so much the time she’s out but I’m guessing if she has a lot of selfies on IG then her social distancing isn’t great (except when roller skating!).

Not sure there’s a lot you can do about it though, being a nanny in the current situation must be rather isolating.

But if you don't give the full information in the first post you'll get people telling you that you're unreasonable when in actual fact you aren't?

I assume it's your nanny? Hmm, must be tough on her but also not really fair on you.
