I'm Poppy Watson, a features writer at The Courier, and I specialise in home, style, food and wellness content.
I love meeting so many interesting people across Tayside and Fife in this role. It's a privilege to share their fascinating stories with you in a way which is hopefully engaging, entertaining and relatable.
When I'm not working, I can be found buried in a good book, unwinding on my yoga mat or spending too much money on oat milk lattes.
