If it's at the house, he might be attempting to build one of those rose gates, those archways with climbing roses? Though Mycroft is notoriously *not into field work* (in canon and in the show) so he is probably *planning* a thing and then getting *other people* to build it.
Maybe he's building, or repairing, an old boat. For the lake. I can see him having been a big fan of Wind in the Willows and all he wants to do is mess about in a boat, far away from all the noise and general ridiculousness.
Or a boat in a bottle. Bet he'd like doing that. I wonder if he's snuck a little pirate figure into it, just for his own amusement.
Ah, but the point is to see what all the lovely, imaginative and intelligent people on my flist come up with when they have absolutely no context...you've done very well!
It is at the house. I'm starting to try and get a feel for the second holiday - the Much Ado holiday - so that I know what there won't be room for there and can subsequently stick things into the first holiday, which is coming together nicely but must be finished before we can move on.
The Baker Street interludes are like a caramel break - guilty wonderful pleasure.
I think you may have missed my last lemon post...I reported back on how it went but have had woefully few - though substantive in the extreme - responses...
