Matt and I headed in separate directions from Bergamo with Ryanair: he was bound for his cousin's birthday-slash-farewell in London and I was dropping into Stockholm for my beautiful friend Emma's surprise hen party.

The party had a midsummer theme, complete with a brunch of lovely Swedish food (oh how I love
skagen - prawns and dill in mayo on toast), pole-dancing lessons and a party at a lakehouse where we gorged on seafood, drank schnapps, sang drinking songs, ate cheese, played midsummer games and capped off the evening with a sauna. Very civilised indeed. I was feeling slightly off-key all day so laid off the booze and took it pretty easy.

It was a wonderful celebration with so much thought and love in the planning and spirit of the day. The next day I flew to Mallorca via Barcelona to meet Matt for five days of detox before a hitting Ibiza for some debauchery with Sunny, Alex, Azom and Number1.
