I started thinking about double vision after I'd recently met up with a much missed friend Abi McFabbie who has returned home to Scotland from Saudi Arabia with her two daughters after an absence of six months. After the delight of enjoying all their company again, grilling each other with questions and catching up on six months worth of gossip, I couldn't help but be amazed by how similar the young Asira is to her mother. the only real difference was that whilst Asira is black, Abi is white. Luckily for Asira she's not yet one so there's plenty of time to change.
Since then I've been seeing a lot of double. Having the house to myself last night I watched the new BBC version of Sherlock Holmes back to back and was struck by the likeness of the daring Benedict Cumberbatch to an older version of Sherlock played by the dashing Basil Rathbone.
And the likenesses didn't stop there... handing over a twenty pound note to pay for shopping, I was struck by the similarity between these two....
Not sure Miriam Margolyes would enjoy being likened to Robert the Bruce tho' so best to keep that to ourselves.
