SHERLOCK HOLMES??? pavla... we are meant to be...

I was there when the internet coined the term Cumberb*tch. I was there when half of Tumblr supported Undershaw. I was there when the fandom came up with COUNTLESS theories after the 2nd series ending. I DID MY PART.

Shout-out to all my Tumblr friends:

I’m going to be defending the RDJ Holmes movies in the global live event THE GREAT SHERLOCK HOLMES DEBATE on Saturday, May 25, 2019! And I need your help! 

If you’re on Facebook, can you go to the "Great Sherlock Holmes Debate page and vote on the RDJ Holmes post?  Please?

If you feel the RDJ Holmes movies DIDN’T go too far (which is my contention) then please click there on “No - all good”!  Right now the “No - all good” is doing well, but the antis and nay-sayers are starting to appear, and RDJ Holmes and I could use your vote. Please help out and vote - it only takes a second, and it’s a one-time vote!

It may seem counter-intuitive, but if you love the RDJ Holmes movies, vote “NO - ALL GOOD”!  You’re basically saying “no, these movies didn’t go too far and I like them!”  Let’s see if we can get that 82% up into the 90s! 

And do tune in if you can to the Great Debate this coming Saturday, May 25! It’s a ticketed event: £5 for an online debate ticket via Zoom; and all the proceeds go to support Stepping Stones School, a charitable school for special needs students that’s housed in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s former estate, Undershaw, in the U.K. 

However, placing your vote via Facebook is free! THANK YOU for your support!

Welcome to Undershaw Audiobook - OUT NOW

Out now in audiobook: my latest book Welcome to Undershaw. A book any Sherlock Holmes fan, Undershaw supporter, and Doyle enthusiast should own. The audiobook is an immersive way to learn about the Sir Arthur and Undershaw!

“#what a bicon,” @victorian-sexstache.  Ha.  Thinking about this party in 1898.

Captain Philip Trevor, one of the cricketers, dressed as Conan Doyle, the host.  Trevor stayed over at Undershaw and remembered his friend, late at night as Trevor was climbing into bed, bursting into his room in a dressing-gown with an answer for a word game they had been playing.  Yes, this was before Conan Doyle created the name Victor Trevor.

In addition to Touie Conan Doyle, Jean Leckie also was at the party.  Sounds complicated.

In any case, I figure Conan Doyle wanted to dress to impress in those Viking tights (X).

John l’ignorait mais il était l’héritier légitime du Earl of Undershaw.

La fanfic s’inscrit dans la lignée de la série Héritage que Chappysmom a écrit il y a quelques années. Ca faisait plaisir de retrouver cette série et cet auteure, même si la fic en elle-même n’est pas mémorable et laisse beaucoup de questions en suspens.

Britain at its most effective: The Surrey Hills are pitch perfect

Britain at its best: The Surrey Hills are pitch best and aided encourage Peter Pan author J.M. Barrie

Surrey is the most wooded county in the British isles states the Every day Mail’s Clive Aslet

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, creator of Sherlock Holmes, developed a house at Hindhead

J.M. Barrie had a home in Tilford and a nearby lake was a lagoon in Peter Pan

By Clive Aslet For The Each day Mail

From the leading of the tower on Leith Hill, amid The Rhododendron Wooden owned by the National Have confidence in, you can see The Shard.

London is that close, but the Surrey Hills – an Region of Outstanding Attractiveness – are like a unique globe.

There are other views: from Gibbet Hill exterior Hindhead, for illustration, over the big all-natural amphitheatre of the Devil’s Punchbowl.

Howzat! The pretty cricket floor in the village of Tilford, where author J.M. Barrie lived

But this is also a land of lanes, enclosed by banking companies of knotty trees roots and overhung by pines and beeches and of intimate villages that, in spite of the BMWs in the driveways, are continue to pleasant, because of to the wide range of developing elements – brick, timber, flint, weatherboard and marmalade-coloured Bargate stone.

Bargate stone cannot be formed to give a flat surface or straight corners so the aged masons utilized often to press chips of flint into the huge mortar joints – a approach known as galletting.

Very poor for developing, it experienced a further use: the orange color indicates a higher iron information. The village Abinger Hammer is named just after an historical forge. H2o from the hammer pond at Friday Road, missed by the Stephan Langton pub, applied to drive the waterwheel for a foundry.

But Surrey soil was inadequate and the heaths – now treasured habitat for sand lizards and emperor dragonflies – tough to farm. Then the Victorians came, arriving by the new railway and they called this area, with some hyperbole, the English Switzerland. 

Just exterior Godalming, at Eashing, is the Stag on the River. The Stag is 1 of ten pubs owned by the Crimson Mist team

Pines and quick-draining, sandy soil had been considered to be good for the well being. So they built place properties amid the pines. Surrey is the most wooded county in the British isles, so that often all you see of these piles is a identify board at the close of a driveway.

A selection are by Sir Edwin Lutyens, who grew up in Thursley. His mentor, craftswoman and artist turned gardener Gertrude Jekyll, commissioned him to make her house, Munstead Wooden, whose back garden can be frequented by appointment (munsteadwood.org.british isles).

You will find a gallery about them equally in Godalming Museum. Godalming also offers a Memorial Cloister to Jack Phillips, a area male who was the chief wireless operator on the Titanic.

Built by the Arts-and-Crafts architect Hugh Thackeray Turner, with a backyard garden established by Jekyll, the Cloister was opened in April 15, 1914, just two a long time immediately after the disaster.

Just outdoors Godalming, at Eashing, is the Stag on the River. The bridge over the river Wey was constructed by the monks of Waverley Abbey in the 13th century. 

Craftswoman and artist turned gardener Gertrude Jekyll, commissioned Sir Edwin Lutyens to create her home, Munstead Wood (pictured)

The Stag is 1 of 10 pubs owned by the Red Mist team, together with a micro-brewery in fairly Tilford. J.M. Barrie had his place residence right here, and close by Black Lake grew to become the Blue Lagoon in Peter Pan.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, creator of Sherlock Holmes, developed a residence at Hindhead – Undershaw, now a charitable foundation – for his wife to recover from tuberculosis (alas, she failed to).

The poet laureate Alfred Lord Tennyson rejected Hindhead as being ‘very pricey at the money’ and selected a web-site around Haslemere as a substitute. His poem Flower In The Crannied Wall was prepared at Waggoners Wells, Grayshott.

Artist George Frederick Watts, a close friend of Tennyson, built a household and studio at Compton, now a museum. Immediately after his dying in 1904, his wife extra a cemetery chapel in tribute in a Celtic Revival type.

Go there. It is really exclusive – like so significantly of this prized patch of our nation.

Open Book Blog Hop: What's On Your Bucket List?

Open Book Blog Hop: What’s On Your Bucket List?

I’ve never really given much thought to a bucket list. I’d love to travel to the UK, especially to Cymru. The greater bulk of my ancestry came from various parts of the British Isles. As a Sherlockian, I want to visit Baker Street, have my picture taken by the Sherlock statue, and visit Undershaw, Conan Doyle’s​ former home. I’d love to travel to Italy/Sicily, for the archaeological wonders…
