Rose in a cage

I was in the office fairly early from my hub at Kings X…I went almost door to door by bus, given how stupid heavy my bag was.  Productive day in the office and caught the six thirty home 

i was pleased to see that the rose I had put a cage round had finally produced a flower.  In this famous rose year I have had almost none, thanks to the deer nipping off all the buds,  except from those more well established ones. 

Vikram’s friend David and his niece Rosie are staying with us for a few days and we ate vegan food because David, a death row lawyer in the US has gone vegan.  I’m not sure the two things are connected.
