Happy Birthday, Sherlock Holmes

Every year I make an Epiphany tart (jam tart) for 6 Jan, the birthday of Sherlock Holmes. This year's jams were pineapple-passion fruit, lemon curd, orange marmalade with champagne, and strawberry. There was mango, too but I couldn't get the jar open.



Also, look at this silly cover. Note: I haven't read the book yet so don't spoil me if you have.

In your own space, tell us who, from one of your fandoms, would you most want to have dinner with (or tea, or a random afternoon visit), And why? This could be a creator, an actor, a costumer, a set designer, a director, a character, a composer, anybody! What would you talk about? What are you dying to know? Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

Agatha Christie and I could share the last vacant table at a dodgy tea & bun shop. We would awkwardly pass the sugar and exchange comments on the ghastly weather. She might compliment me on my cardigan, and I would say something cryptic and pithy like ‘it hides bloodstains well’ or quote an obscure forgotten poet (meaning, me). Later, the scene would appear in her mystery novel with my line as the title.

Oh, and on the way out of the shop, I drop something or trip and awkwardly give Eva Green the answer to 8 across on her puzzle.
