French President Emmanuel Macron came to the UK on a three-day state visit.
King Charles spoke of the need for the two countries to grow closer and Macron said that when France and the UK “come together around one table everything is possible”.
He also offered a toast:
Long live Franco-British friendship
It made me wonder – could that mean an easing of some of the post-Brexit bureaucratic slowdowns?
Might there finally be some movement on my application to change my visa status?
After eight-and-a-half months of no word at all, I will clutch at any straw.
Then again, President Macron also announced France was loaning the Bayeux Tapestry to the UK for the first time in 900 years.
So maybe I’ve got a little bit longer to wait.
