Growing Up in England!

Introduction:

I'm living in London now, but I didn't grow up here, so there's a lot I still don't know. How is the way I live now, as someone who moved to England, different than than the life of someone who grew up here? When I found out that I should interview someone for this week's article, I immediately thought of Poppy, who's in charge of a lot of things at my school. She hangs out with lots of Americans but is still very British. My British accent is just an impression of the way she talks! I don't have a picture of her right now, but I'll get one as soon as I can and send it to you, I promise. 

What is your full name?:

"Poppy Crumpton!" I told her she had the most British name ever, and she gave me her middle name, too, because it's also very British... it's Ophelia! Poppy Ophelia Crumpton!

Where do you live? What is your house like?:

"I live in North London, in Wolfonstowe. It's very different to Central London. I live in a flat (an apartment), or rather, it's like a block of flats. But we have quite a lot of parks near us, which is very nice."

What is your family like?:

"I have a brother and he is just finishing his PhD. My parents currently live in Wales, but before they lived in Wales, they lived in Saudi Arabia."

How do you get around?:

"The Tube and walking! I actually can't drive; I failed my test twice.
