OOTDs from Dublin.

The weather from my Dublin holiday was, lamentably, not quite up to scratch, so I was actually quite under-dressed on the second day. But oh well, that's the price one pays for pretty dresses!

The pub was The Grange in Ealing. The beer garden was absolutely lovely, extremely comfortable and spacious. However, drinks were frigging extortionate. The pint in my hand was £4.80, which was just about tolerable, but my friend had a double gin + tonic, which came to £8.15! Central London prices in zone 3, not happy about that. The cheapest packs of crisps were £1.40, which is just beyond a joke.

However, if you are graced with more money than sense and want a nice garden to chill in, this is the place for you.
