Kammy on Eliza
What were you hoping for?
To have a new
experience – my first blind date! And I wouldn’t have minded
meeting the love of my life.
First impressions?
Very cool jacket.
She seemed chatty, which was great because I am also.
What did you talk about?
Career changes.
Living in other countries. Language learning. Reading. Travelling.
The fact that “Good table manners?” is a silly question.
Most awkward moment?
When I accidentally
poured wine on to the table rather than into a glass.
Good table manners?
No notes. But I hear
some say “Good table manners?” is a silly question.
Best thing about Eliza?
She has led such a
rich life. I was amazed to hear about all her adventures, but the
best thing was just how easy she was to talk to in general.
Would you introduce Eliza to your
friends?
Absolutely. They’d
probably find her more interesting to talk to than me.
Describe Eliza in three words.
Interesting,
easy-going, worldly.
What do you think Eliza made of
you?
Someone well
intentioned, even if they have poor execution, perhaps?
Did you go on somewhere?
Just to the station,
but we stayed until the restaurant closed. We both had a way to
travel.
And … did you kiss?
A very brief peck
just before the doors closed, when it became clear that we weren’t
getting the same train.
If you could change one thing
about the evening what would it be?
To live closer to
the restaurant.
Marks out of 10?
9.
Would you meet again?
I would definitely
meet her again as a friend. She was super easy to talk to and I had a
great evening.

Someone up for as
much fun as I was.
First impressions?
Warm, with kind
eyes, great hug, he instantly put me at ease.
What did you talk about?
Our shared love of
learning languages and travelling, including Kammy’s recent trip to
Guatemala. How we arrived where we are in life (including my previous
life as a musical theatre actor and how I ended up in law). Kammy has
a PhD in astrophysics and I’ve always loved stars, so hearing about
it was fascinating.

The kiss goodbye
(see below).
Good table manners?
We were having too
much fun and good chat to care about table manners.

He was up for trying
something new, and was interesting and interested.

optimistic.

you?
Probably a ball of
energy, passionate about what I do and up for a laugh.

Sunday night made
that difficult.
And … did you kiss?
A rushed kiss as the
train doors closed.

about the evening, what would it be?
