The Archers actor, Sunny Ormonde (who performs one of Heather’s poems as part of her excellent one-woman show) said:
“Needing a poem about local life for my show at Bewdley Festival I discovered Heather’s wonderfully funny poems on line. Immediately smitten, I contacted her and was over the moon when she kindly offered to write a special poem for the show and Dad was a fan of The Archers was born. Nothing could have been more perfect—it was a huge hit and continues to be so.
“Don’t Oil The Hinges is a delightful collection of poems—a pot pourri of Worcestershire life and experiences. Joyful, funny, touching, informative and vibrant. Heather is one of the finest poets around.”

I purchased “Don’t Oil the Hinges” on 27th October. I should have paid £8.20 but Paypal has taken 10.20 from my account. I am due a £2 refund and to date I have not received Heather’s book.
