France’s pregnant First Lady explained that it was husband Nicolas Sarkozy’s deep understanding of “roses and tulips” that won her heart. I said to myself: “My God, I must marry this man, he’s the president and he knows everything about flowers as well. This is incredible.” Sarkozy better hope no other heads of state take up an interest in gardening, and that no florists take up an interest in statecraft. [Daily Mail UK]
