THE BEEKEEPER

He said when he left London and retired that he would take up beekeeping, something I did not understand at all. Frankly, I never thought he would really stop being Sherlock Holmes and just be Mr. Holmes with a house in the country. I could never see him doing anything at all but being a consulting detective.

He did it though.

He married a woman half his age and moved to Sussex Downs. He even wrote a book about bees.

He says he is very happy in his new life. I’m glad one of us is. I miss him so.
