Lydia, thanks for the lovely cup of tea and sweets.

I'll never forget the wheat free chocolate dessert restaurant we shared at the Thai Restaurant in Shirlington. It was superb. This time I had a cherry crumb cake that was heavy on the topping. I was in heaven. The tea was ginger, orange and mint. The gentleness and subtlety reminded me of you. I shared my tea with a dear friend at an outdoor café on U Street , which has become a fashionable night area.

I hope you're enjoying your birthday as much as I am.

Love,

Judy
