Calling Miss Orla Parr...

Now this is a short blog post and I only put it 'out there' as I must confess to being a bit worried. You see, last year when in Lincolnshire; we met a young girl who was a waitress and was so lovely I gave her a copy of my (then) current Poetry Book as a Thank You (I've checked and it's not against the Geneva Convention). We also left a tip, which I know was far more preferable for her or any person in the hospitality trade I'm sure.

She was so sweet, she sent me a thank you and a poem of her own, which she subsequently gracefully allowed to be included in my (now) current book of poetry - 'Voices in the Wild'.

Before it came out, I sent her an email offering her a signed copy (or two) as a Thank You for her poem. But I did not hear anything from her.

I sent a follow up email a week or so ago, and sadly I've still not heard from her. If she doesn't want a copy (it might have been me offering to sign it that convinced her against it) that's fine; but I'd just like to make sure that everything is ok with her.

So, in the unlikely event that you know her (Miss O Parr of Lincolnshire), drop me a line to assuage my fears?

Thanks - I don't expect this to 'work' but it's the last thing I can think of that's not too intrusive.

Take care all...
