Fading Rose

This morning I woke early to the sound of a smoke alarm giving the 'battery low' bleep bleep, it was the morning we were leaving our friends and returning home.  Strangely enough two mornings ago we were leaving our daughters flat and their alarm was also making this noise - was it something we did?  Anyway it was raining cats and dogs in London as we set off home.  We took it slowly and arrived home to drier conditions.  This rose was in a vase and reflected the tired feelings we had at the end of our journey.

An enjoyable break with lots to do but nice to get home.  Lots of courgettes and raspberries to pick.
