Dearest gentle Polin, we have been apart for far two long.

As we celebrate the second anniversary of the imperfect season of our hearts, it’s time to head back home to the drawing-room window with a view of the house across the street.

In our special Polin Q&A, we’ll be looking back over two years of blow-away balloons, cheek strokes and the best first kiss Veg has ever seen before making room on the chaise for our favourite redhead and a green-eyed imposter.

After a spot of tea with Book Polin, we’ll be grabbing our devilishly yellow headcoverings and taking a promenade through Polin’s past, from the very first Vauxhall jig through to a final retirement sway. Once we’ve picked Penelope up from the pavement and the 408 dance off the cutting room floor, we’ll also find time to reminisce over crumbs, blurs and our very own histories of connection.

Raise your glasses of lemonade, old friends. We have a happily ever after on our hands and a love story for the ages.

Is life supposed to be this wonderful? We think so. We really do.
