Cairo. Mathematics. The development of the lute. West Coast Swing dance. These were some of
the many topics discussed (in English, French, Spanish and, I believe, Punjabi) over cider, raspberry juice and a
variety of sweets as we viewed the myriad of roses to be found in the
Majlis last Saturday.

| Tricia Postle provides Majlis Rose Tour. |
Artistic Director Tricia Postle provided tours of
the roses, telling us of their botany and history. Unfortunately there
were too many names for me to remember so I am going to post some of them and ask the good lady to let me know what they are.
