Canon Story: The Adventure of Shoscombe Old Place
Title: Fishing

Author's Notes: (...eye-stalks emerging from the lurker pond blink "Hello"...)

For me, fishing was more than an enjoyable past-time, it provided respite when city living became too much. Holmes, however, loathed fishing as if fresh air and cicada-song were torture to his Bohemian soul, and yet still he indulged me. That he retained our gear from those early days was testament to what a great friend I had in him.

.oOOo.

Please drop me a line...

A lurker no longer! :)

Tobacco free air and the music of the forest? Oh, yeah, Holmes is in hell. But he's willing to walk through hell if Watson wants it. Love this.

(And having been through the 17 year cicadas, I can attest personally to their torturous nature.)

(Something fishy going on in that pond...)

I'm sorely tempted to say that it's nice to see Holmes and Watson giving their tackle an airing. But I'm not that kind of girl and I think I've reached my double entendre limit for the day anyway.

It is apparent in the story that they actually know how to fish, isn't it? I love the thought that Holmes has put up with something he doesn't enjoy just for Watson's sake ^^

Good heavens, when did you de-lurk? Took my eye off things a bit there...

Love the sentiment behind this:-)
