Girls’ getaway

Getting the girls back together is at once the hardest and the easiest of holidays. The difficulty comes from finding a date you can all make, the ease from knowing everyone so well that you can plan without thinking, right down to who’s going to demand which bedroom. We’ve teamed up with Trish and Lorraine, from the Postcards from Midlife podcast, to find you inspiration and great places for your next girls get together, whether you’re going for pampering downtime or wild adventure.
