Time for a Change.
Sherlock Holmes loved his country but he hated its weather. While the rain and the darkness soothed his thoughts they were, after 14 solid days, a little trying. Watson especially, was not a patient person when it came to the weather, he complained constantly of his wounded shoulder and how the weather made it ache. Holmes sympathised but as there was nothing practical he could do, did not concern himself with Watson's problem.
It was not often that Holmes allowed himself to brood, especially over something as unpredictable as the weather, but he was feeling old, perhaps it was time for a change. London was not the city it once was, it had changed much since he had moved here as a young man. He felt the quiet life call to him constantly and since Watson had remarried, Holmes was alone – and he detested being alone.
Reviews always appreciated.
