This Christmas, my bestie and I booked a girls’ winter trip to Dublin from London. A 3-day trip to Dublin which turned out to be the perfect getaway for Christmas. Being in our early 30s and never having been abroad at Christmas time, we weren’t too sure how difficult it would be to navigate, whether anything would anything be open, and if we would be able to enjoy it, but we packed our woolly jumpers, gloves, scarfs and took the plunge, what’s the worst that could happen!
