International Relations over breakfast.

It's all over the media, it's on everyone's minds, the whole of London has been revving up this week for the visit of the French President and his beautiful, supermodel, wife, Carla Bruni.

Seriously, Carla fever has taken over. Well, that's what the media would have us believe. She has been photographed more than Jackie Kennedy, she has been linked with Mick Jagger (having an affair with him just after wife, Jerry Hall, had their second child), Donald Trump, Kevin Costner and even another French PM.

Her interesting persona has had conservative Britainites up in arms - they really didn't know what to expect with the arrival of Carla and President husband. The media didn't really help publishing naked photos of her before her arrival.


Despite this, Britain was mesmerised the second she walked off the plane, decked out in her specially designed Dior outfits. Here is a collection of some Dior.




So, why do we care? While the nation is falling in love with Carla, love-sick Nicolas Scarozy had his eyes on another prize - a long lasting and meaningful relationship with Britain. So, after meetings, discussions, dinner at the B. Palace with the Queen; Mr. Sarkozy and Britain's PM, Gordan Brown, agreed to work closer together on international issues such as immigration, building schools in Africa and human rights in Burma. Nice.

After all this, the French Pres. made a speech to the British Parliament, and said this of the new era in Franco-British relations (and this had me in stitches for my whole bus ride home) - He likened the new relationship between Britain and France as entente formidable (tremendously understanding) and stated "It is not simply a one night stand. I believe we can go to breakfast as well".

Aren't we all breathing a sigh of relief that finally France and Britain are now mature enough to go to breakfast.

Kissy kissy Nicolas. I like my eggs poached.
