A reader asked:  “What is your ideal holiday?”

Dr John Watson:  “Somewhere peaceful, in the country, where I can relax with friends.”

Mr Sherlock Holmes:  “Anywhere with a puzzle, people behaving strangely, preferably with danger.”

Mrs Hudson:  “I do like the seaside dear, but really when Mr Holmes and the good doctor are away it’s like a holiday for me.”

Hahahaha! How true. We won't tell, Mrs H.!

Thank you. Yes, her secret is safe with us.

Right on with all three! And for Mrs. Hudson... no doubt! She could use more of these little breaks. Can you imagine how quiet the house must be when they finally leave?

Much as she enjoyed the peace Mrs Hudson missed them very much when they finally left.

Oh dear, I hope the issue came with a poster. ;P

Or possibly one of those quizzes where you answer various questions to work out which sort of holiday you would like "Mostly a's: like Dr Watson you enjoy a peaceful time in the country..."

Ahahaha, oh, this is hilarious all around. Watson tried, he really did, but Holmes got his way in the end. And oh, Mrs. Hudson! I'm glad she gets her holiday for a little while at least!

Thank you. And yes, Watson was very hopeful, but he should have known something would happen.

Love this, so in character for all three - and I particularly love how for Mrs. Hudson, a *real* holiday = whenever the 'kids' are away. XD

Thank you. She and Dr Watson are agreement about wanting peace, just differ in where they find it!

LOL! Right on the money for them all, I'd say. Lovely. :D

Thank you.

LOL! Mrs. Hudson's response is the best! I can just imagine Holmes frowning at her answer...
