I can’t forget Claudia because of her expertise. She has been visiting my shop for a few years now. She is a confident reader; confident in what she doesn’t want to read. This is a valuable skill because it means you spend all your time looking for what you do want to read – and reading it.
Claudia is posting instalments of The Lighthouse Keeper’s Lunch by Ronda and David Hermitage on the front fence of her home in Strathalbyn. Passers by can read each instalment, and then consult the accompanying drawing on the footpath.
This means that we can exercise and keep up with literature at the same time. I encourage everyone to take advantage of this. Once we are all back to normal, these priceless opportunities may fade away.
Claudia once wrote me a list of items that are necessary for all good bookshops to have. Luckily, I have followed these rules ever since, and it has paid off because I am still here.
Claudia left owls off her list – this is a serious omission… 😀 ❤

Yes, it is, but there are pussycats, so the shop is halfway there.
Claudia is a gem, and her idea of story instalments on the fence, with accompanying footpath illustrations, is so creative. Love it!

She told her mum that the story is for people “out walking” 🙂

Cushions are important too, but that is a minor addition…
I love the fence-story…gives me ideas for some fiction of my own…
Salutations to Claudia 🙂
