Frau Reading on her trip to town frequented the free book library but being short of stature was restricted to books on the lower shelves.
Today she spied a favourite author on a higher shelf. It was a new novel by Angus O’Critenson, and she loved Angus’ stories.
Looking around she saw no one to help her so did what she always dared herself to do. She shimmied up the shelves hanging on for dear life until she secured the sought-after volume.
Placing the book into her bag, she walked away wondering what her children might make of her behaviour.

This is the sort of thing my Great Gran would have done!
Bit of a shimmerer was she?
I remember her on the roundabout picking up stones like us kids and she fell off! She was in her 80s
And still a girl at heart..
She always seemed to be from what I can remember of their visits. You may recall I did on post on them for one of your challenges; Grandparents.
