You won't find any Granada or BBC Sherlock here, but I post both sporadically on my personal blog so feel free to check that out.
Please drop me a line if you have any comments, questions or suggestions.
Happy Holmesing!
One of the most long-suffering of mortals.
I LOVE ghostbees <3
I swear I have other sources for this blog besides ghostbees! It’s just that these are so adorable…

“There are many men in London, you know, who, some from shyness, some from misanthropy, have no wish for the company of their fellows. Yet they are not averse to comfortable chairs and the latest periodicals. It is for the convenience of these that the Diogenes Club was started, and it now contains the most unsociable and unclubable men in town. No member is permitted to take the least notice of any other one. Save in the Stranger’s Room, no talking is, under any circumstances, allowed, and three offences, if brought to the notice of the committee, render the talker liable to expulsion. My brother was one of the founders, and I have myself found it a very soothing atmosphere.” — “The Greek Interpreter”, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

A. Conan Doyle by Sidney Paget (image sourced from the Sherlock Holmes Wiki).
“Paget’s depiction of Holmes has stood the test of time, while Beerbohm Tree did not get the chance to influence the public’s idea of the great detective. Reportedly, Tree wanted to play both Sherlock Holmes and his arch-enemy Professor Moriarty [in the stage play], a notion tricky to bring off since they appeared in several scenes together. When asked how he intended to juggle the two roles, Tree indicated that perhaps he might play Holmes in a beard. Conan Doyle was not enthused.”

Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone!
This might not be strictly canonical, but a very happy Valentine’s Day to all my wonderful followers!
“I begin to think, Watson, that I make a mistake in explaining. Omne ignotum pro magnifico, you know, and my poor little reputation, such as it is, will suffer shipwreck if I am so candid.”
