First sales figures are now in, first tranche of cash with my gift-aided top-up has gone to MSF. Still flagged for pre-Christmas delivery but I'll make this the last time I bother you. I will pass on anything more that comes in. Big thanks to all for support, and to whoever gave the five-star rating

Watching the new series ‘Watson,’ which is about a modern day Dr Watson following Holmes’ death at Reichenbach Falls.
He’s just heard Holmes’ voice in his head and it’s an actor I would *love* to see play the great detective. Hoping for a flashback before this over.
