This past winter break, I visited my boyfriend and his family in an English village called Harpenden. There, I spoke with Harry Tolley, also known as Poppa, about his experience during the London Blitz and how he eventually found bliss with his wife, Pat.

Enjoy as Poppa, a man tall in stature who wears red jumpers and coke bottle glasses, regales you with tales of disaster and delight in World War II London.
