It has been difficult to come to terms with, but we are now beginning to accept that we probably won't be able to get away on holiday this year.
That may be a disappointment, but it does give us the opportunity to embrace this beautiful country of ours. Many will be embarking on 'staycations' in Ireland for the first time, discovering parts of the country they may not have visited.
There is certainly no shortage of options, especially when it comes to beaches. However, you will want to make sure you a properly stocked for a good beach day.
Luckily, Aldi is here to help.
