Yes! I bought the three-volume set this spring in preparation for going to London and staying around the corner from Baker Street. I've fallen head over heels for the London sleuth and his right-hand man. One of the first and greatest buddy teams ever! Now I'm enjoying the three part series starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman on PBS as modern day detectives. The final episode is on tomorrow night...it was originally produced in Britain and probably available on DVD if it's not showing in your area.

Yesterday I had lunch with the proprietor of the bookstore who sold me the Sherlock Holmes set of books. When I emailed to invite him out to lunch he responded "Thank you for knocking me up." That's a Holmesian expression that I love! We went to a place about a block from his store called GB Fish and Chips, an authentic Brit place. It was fun, but I was somewhat too intimidated to really get into the Sherlockian discussion.

My sister and I went to the Sherlock museum at 221B Baker Street while we were in London. Lots of fun that place.

Cool! Then, do any of these photos ring a bell?

Nice view of St. Paul's in the background. This one's better ;)

Yep, yep and yep.
Didn't take the Thames cruise though my London friend recommended it. I wanted to go to Brighton and my sister had breakfast with a friend who took the train up from Paris.
