Hi! My name's Claire Edwards and I'm 14 years

and dad and my 12-year-old brother Sam. My best
friends are Holly and Anita.
I love music. I listen to music all the time and I play
the guitar in a band with some of my friends. We're
called The Daisies and we play rock and pop music.
I write the songs but I don't like singing because
I'm shy. I'm writing a new song at the moment.
I also love going shopping because I'm really into
fashion. My favourite colour is purple, so I've got
lots of purple clothes. I'm not very sporty but I
sometimes go rollerblading in the park.

Last weekend, my family and I went

to The Sherlock Holmes Museum
in London. Sherlock Holmes is
the main character of a series of
detective stories by a Scottish author,
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
The museum was small but interesting. I looked around the
different rooms. I saw lots of Sherlock Holmes's possessions
too. I also met characters from the books - but they were actors !
Lenjoyed learning about Doyle. He wrote four novels and
56 short stories about Sherlock Holmes. He became famous
because his stories were very good. He was born in 1859 and
he died in 1930.
