In True Love Way, Poppy is an employee
at main character Savannah’s bakery, and she’s here today to answer questions in honor of Valentine’s Day!
Are you currently in a relationship? If so, tell us a little bit
about your significant other. If not, what are you looking for in a romantic
partner?
It's sort of complicated at the moment. I do have my
sights set on a certain someone. I’m not quite sure how Savannah would feel
about it, though, since she knows him intimately. But I can’t help fancying him!
He’s charming and sweet and absolutely gorgeous. And he makes me laugh whenever
he visits the bakery. He’s a foodie yet he’s quite fit, just like me. I think
we’re compatible in so many ways.
How old were you when you had your first kiss, and can you share
what you remember about it?
I was fifteen. My mum
and dad sent me to a boarding school (way before Harry Potter was cool) in Hertfordshire,
and that’s where I met Roger. We lived in the same house. He attended one of my
lacrosse matches and offered to walk me home when it was over. He kissed me
then. It was a sweet but brief adolescent romance. I was forced to leave the
school two weeks later. Roger and I didn’t keep in touch.
Describe your ideal romantic evening.
I absolutely adore food,
so I’d love to go to a classy restaurant for dinner followed by a stroll along
the pier. And dessert is a must. If my date can cook a proper Sunday roast with all the trimmings, that
would be even better.
What's the best romantic gift you ever received and the best one
you ever gave?
My ex-boyfriend wrote
a song for me and performed it during his concert at the Electric Ballroom on
my birthday. I felt like the most special girl in the whole world, or at the
very least in all of London. And on his birthday, I gave him a collection of
original, autographed records of The Rolling Stones. That may not sound very romantic,
but it was the first time I put an incredible amount of effort into a gift for
someone. Rare vinyl albums are not that easy to track down, but it was all for
love. Or so I thought.
What's your favorite romantic comedy movie, and why?
Notting
Hill. Julia Roberts is my favourite
actress, and I’ve always fancied Hugh Grant. This film makes me laugh, cry, and
continue my search for my own Will. I’m a sap for a fairytale.
Can you tell us about your worst date ever?
It was my first and
last blind date. The guy was a ventriloquist and spoke to me through his puppet
for the entire evening. His own mouth never moved. Not once! It was quite
remarkable actually, and yet bloody awful at the same time, as you can imagine.
Needless to say, I didn’t go on a second date with either dummy.
Have you ever had a secret romance? And if you have, will you
share about it here?
I have, but if I tell you
about it, then it won’t be a secret anymore. I love the thrill of a covert
affair and wouldn’t be opposed to another one…
Thanks, Poppy!
