Yes, Holmes retired to his beekeeping here in East Sussex, just south of
London. His creator lived the final years of his life in East Sussex and
there's a statue of Conan Doyle in a small town in Sussex called Crowborough
where I think he is buried. It's a Victorian town, largely, near the
extensive Ashdown Forest, about an hour from Central London.

Dear Sumal and other Holmesians

Holmes, alive and well? You don't say?! Well, I guess he must be old. Where
in Sussex Downs by the way? And where is Sussex Downs?

Dear Sridhar and Holmesians,
Mr. Sherlock Holmes is alive and well at Sussex Downs tending his
apiary. His health is a bit indifferent due to his advanced age !!!
