I don’t want to jinx it or anything, but the weather has been pretty decent recently. So, it got me thinking, what are the best seaside trips to do around Dublin? When I asked Twitter for people’s thoughts on Dublin’s beaches, here’s one fairly blunt response I got… “There are no proper beaches in Dublin. […]

Ingredients 1 Crusty Bread Roll 2 Smokey Rashers Rocket 1/2 Avocado Cherry Tomatoes Mayonaise Garlic Honestly, this is the best sandwich I’ve had in ages.
