I
this
birthday
. As you know I am an antique collector and I have been looking for an antique radio. The item is made in the nineteenth century in England and it was a property of the British royal family.
John also
gave me some antique items as a birthday
present, some books, a clock and a bookshelf that is
used in ancient India. My students in the university were gifted a holiday trip package to Egypt. I am excited to see the pyramid.
On this
birthday
, I spent most of the time with John and my parents. We ate dinner at Royal Garden Restaurant.
You should visit my new home in Alaska, I will bake strawberry tart, your favourite, though I am a disaster in the kitchen.
I can't wait to see you again.
Best Regards
