Ed: Our weekend to Sweden began with a 4:30am alarm on Saturday morning in order to get to Heathrow in time for our 7am departure.

Wow!
What an awesome weekend! (I can't stop giggling at you smacking your head into the glass! I trust there was suitable guffawing from your fellow passengers.)

Oh My Goddddddddddddddd
How do you keep up the pace of it all. I get exhausted just reading what you both get up to. When I visit is it going to be as hectic? I don't know if I would cope. Love the photo's. It is good to see that you are coping so well with the cold Ed. Who would have thought that you would have even contemplated staying in an Ice Hotel. Love Mum xx Miss you both

Sweden looks amazing! Thanks so much for the postcard, it was a lovely surprise - I didn't know ice hotels even existed and half thought it was a joke but now I've seen the photos that prove it! You guys crack me up... Poor Ed! At least you could write a nice lymeric about the whole thing: "There was a young man called Ed, who kept falling and hitting his head, you might want to laugh, but don't be so fast, Karma will get you next I bet"!
